LIB TECH T.Rice Orca II Snowboard 2027

Not your gutless fish. Travis has juiced up this Jackson Hole resort slasher into an apex all terrain tech shred predator. A long floaty nose combined with a powerful poppy contact maximizing short radius “Whale Tail Technology”. A tight 7m trench gouging sidecut. 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. Take it to AK, drop BC pillow stacks or blow minds at the home resort all season. A mammal to eat all fish. TR. Award winning!

Volume Shifted, Ride This Board 3-6cm Shorter Than Your Normal Board

Flex: 7/10

Shape: Directional

Bend: Orca Directional C2x - Carves the resort, plays in the park and slays the powder. We worked with Travis Rice to develop this perfectly balanced all terrain contour. Mild rocker between your feet combined with powerful cambers to the tips and tails. Enough power, pop, and precision to hit the biggest wedges. Enough float and freedom to rip the gnarliest AK lines.

Core: 60% Makah Hemlock/40% Paulownia - Locally harvested high performance western hemlock from the Makah Sawmill. Lib Tech is excited to work with our Native American neighbors and the original stewards of the land on an exciting new project that brings sustainable business to the tribe and incredible material to their snowboards.

Fibreglass: Triaxial/Biaxial Fiberglass With Basalt Alloy - Triaxial 0° x 45° x 45° oriented fiber combination creates the perfect balance of torsional responsiveness and overall flex performance. Biaxial 0° x 90° fiber orientation builds in pop, stability, control and forgiveness/ease of ride. Basalt Alloy, a unique volcanic fiber derived from basalt features amazing strength and dampening properties, allowing the creation of light, strong, and amazingly smooth performance rides.

Base: Sintered Knife Cut Base - High density UHMW. Optimized wax retention and toughness. Wax regularly and repair professionally
