Freeride pow-ripper meets resort-slashing daily driver—the Lib Tech T. Rice Orca snowboard combines a long, floaty nose with powerfully poppy, contact-maximizing, short-radius Whale Tail technology.
- Directional shape and contour with a floaty nose, tight 7 m sidecut and maximum power tail
- Wide enough to allow you to really put it on a hardpack rail with no toe drag and float pillows like a dream but still narrow enough to be your daily driver all season long
- Orca C2x rocker/camber hybrid technology provides full contact and control for all conditions
- Central rocker builds in carve, edge hold and float; cambers build in pop, stability and control
- Extended aspen/paulownia core with Horsepower (HP) construction is light and smooth
- Eco-sublimated poly top material is strong, impact-resistant, lightweight, dimensionally stable, and UV- and temperature-resistant
- Sintered knife cut base is optimized for wax retention and toughness
- Magne-Traction® serrated edges have 7 strategically located edge serrations to provide effortless edge hold and control in all conditions
- Birch internal sidewalls; ultra-high-molecular-weight (UHMW) sintered sidewalls; UHMW tip/tail impact deflection
- Board art by Jessica Lichtenstein
- Manufacturer recommends riding this snowboard 3–6 cm shorter than your normal board
- Snowboard deck and base colors may vary from online photo
Made in USA.
