The Lib Tech Bowl Series Waterboard has been nominated for the Surf Industry Manufacturers Association (SIMA) Image Award in the Surfboard of the Year category!

Lib Tech is nominated alongside Rusty, Lost, Channel Islands, and Firewire. While the other esteemed nominees are being recognized for their board shapes, the Lib Tech Waterboard is nominated for Surfboard of the Year based on shape and bringing entirely original manufacturing processes and materials to surfing. Everything the Waterboard is composed from is new to the surf industry, from the foam to the fins, everything except the fin screws. Lib Tech Waterboards have set a new standard for durability, performance, and environMENTALLY nicer materials and construction processes. Mike Olson, co-founder of Lib Tech spent many years researching and testing materials that fit his principles of durability, performance, and eco-consciousness before the Lib Tech Waterboards made their debut this year. We are stoked and honored that Lib Tech’s hard work and dedication to new high performance technology and the environment has been recognized by SIMA with the Surfboard of the Year nomination!

Nominees will be honored and winners announced at the SIMA Image Awards Ceremony on February 7, 2013.
