Forgiving, stable, perfect intermediate board

Not enough snap and edge hold for more dynamic riding, Expensive for what is in reality an intermediate board.

I am a snowboard instructor and I bought this board as my daily, go anywhere, do anything board. I have to say I've been disappointed with the way it performs. The board is billed as a high-end performance board and the price certainly implies this but I have found it far too soft and flexible for fast riding or use in the pipe. I do like the more forgiving feel for landing from kickers and jibbing etc. but for more technical riding the board lacks pop out of turns and the edges wash out far too easily. If this board were pitched at intermediate riders it would be excellent, it is forgiving and pretty easy to turn. But as a high end board it can't really cut it.

Smooth ride, lots of energy, gives you back as much as you put in.

Slightly wide waste makes it sluggish when moving slow ... so go faster!!!

I have been on this board for two years. When I got it, I was an advancing beginner. Now I can ride anything on the mountain with confidence. This board is awesome at deep and steep. It can also handle the park well. If I ever kill this board, I am getting another Lib Tech - everything else I try feels like crap now.

Great freeride board, goes fast, holds its edges, no toe drag on an 11 boot. Graphics are very nice - I got lots of looks and comments.

A little heavy, so I wouldn''t recommend this board in the pipe or for whipping 9''s off the tabletop. But with the weight comes a sense of security, so it''s a nice trade off.

The Pacifier is a very well done board. Not the lightest board, but it handles itself well from the pow to the groomers. It seems to ride better the faster you go, and it is pretty stiff. Fairly wide at the boots (25.9), but I believe Lib Tech makes a narrow Pacifier.
