Lib Technologies Skate Banana Original BTX Snowboard
disappointing

Man, this board was great for the first month or two of solid riding (4 days a week). I ran into problems after that. Since lib-tech hand-makes every board, their boards do not have full-wrapped edges, meaning the edge does not go continuously around the board. This creates problems on the tip and tail, causing it to de-laminate VERY easily.
If you're looking for rockered technology, try a gnu (lib-techs sister company) they make their boards in presses, so they do have full wrapped edges along with Banana technology. K2 has 3 versions of their own rocker, Never Summer is making a park rocker, as is Ride, and Nitro (late release this season). Do yourself a favor and stay away from the banana.
