Experience the pinnacle of snowboarding innovation with Lib Tech's Orca, a collaboration with Travis Rice, boasting top-tier performance and versatility

About the Lib Tech T.Rice Orca

Lib Tech’s Orca is a groundbreaking collaboration with snowboarding icon Travis Rice, tailored to meet his ultimate snowboard fantasies. With Travis Rice's unparalleled expertise, expect nothing short of top-tier snowboarding performance and absolute domination in every aspect of the sport. Introducing the Orca: Lib Tech’s premier all-mountain freestyle technical powder predator!

Featuring Lib Tech’s revolutionary Whale Tail Technology, a tail design meticulously crafted for this board, the Orca redefines the classic fishtail powder-specific shape. With its unique swallow cut-out, it effortlessly sinks into powder while boasting a tight radius and steep rise for exceptional responsiveness and manoeuvrability, even in deep snow.

Crafted with a C2X Banana camber profile, adapted from the award-winning C2 profile, the Orca offers a shorter, more aggressive rocker between the feet and a longer camber underfoot, facilitating easy turn initiation and maintaining superior float in powder. Enhanced pop, stability, and precision are ensured with added tip and tail pressure.

With its distinctive short rise in the tail and gradual rise to the wide powder nose, the Orca delivers unparalleled floatation. Designed for a directional ride, it features a long nose and set-back binding mountings, promoting a tail-heavy, surfy stance, perfect for epic backcountry powder sessions.

What sets the Orca apart is its versatility – unlike most powder-specific fishtail boards, it excels on both soft and hardpack terrain. Lib Tech’s innovative Magne-Traction edge construction provides a serrated edge shape for exceptional grip on icy slopes and effortless edge hold in steep conditions.

Crafted with an Aspen and Paulownia wood core, reinforced with triaxial and biaxial fibreglass and Basalt Alloy struts, the Orca delivers outstanding torsional strength and stability, ensuring a smooth, responsive ride even in challenging conditions.

Featuring a generous wide waistline, the Orca is engineered for deep powder ploughing and precision carving. Its wide shape allows for aggressive edge engagement without toe drag, enabling massive carves and smooth powder turns. With a deep 7-meter side cut, you'll carve out perfect turns and unleash massive snow sprays like a pro.

Lib Tech's mission was to create a directional board focused on high-performance fun, and with the T. Rice Orca, they've achieved just that! Whether you're cruising the resort or shredding through deep powder, the Orca is the ultimate dream machine for effortless carving and unmatched powder performance.

Features Include
  • Horsepower Construction - Lighter and smoother construction containing a two-type wood core, Basalt Tri/Bi-ax fiberglass, Bio Beans top sheet, TNT base, Birch and sintered sidewalls, and tip/tail impact deflection.
  • Xtreme C2 - Hybrid Banana rocker and Camber profile, extra solid tip and tail pressure for power, pop, precision, and total stability. Medium amount of pressure between your feet for carving, edge hold on ice, and float in pow.
  • Magne-Traction - Seven points of focused edge control to provide unreal edge hold and control in all conditions. By creating a serrated edge with 7 bumps, you get more contact with the snow and more grip and control.
  • Tri/Bi-Ax Fiberglass - The perfect blend of Tri-Ax fiberglass at 45°, 45°, and 90° to enhance torsional strength and Bi-Ax fiberglass at 0° and 90° to enhance pop.
  • 60% Aspen / 40% Paulownia Wood Core - Ultra-lightweight, durable, strong, and environmentally sustainable wood that feels lively.
  • Eco Sublimated Bio-beans Top Sheet - Environmentally friendly bio-plastic top sheet created from Beans! Eco-friendly and providing the best strength-to-weight ratio of all top sheet materials on the market!
  • UHMW Sidewalls - Unique to Lib Tech boards, these are tough, fast, hard, waterproof, and, best of all, eco-friendly due to the lack of toxic ABS!
  • UHMW Tip & Tail Impact Deflection - Reinforcements to protect your board from scratches, dings, and delaminations.
  • Birch Internal Sidewalls - 90-degree pop tech and power transfer spines developed in Lib Tech skateboards are placed along the sidewalls to add extra control, strength, and more pop.
  • Sintered Knife Cut Base - Ultra-fast, durable base with high wax absorption.
  • Hand Crafted in the USA (Near Canada) - Hand-built snowboard by enthusiastic staff at Mervin. Each board comes with the individual maker's mark of approval.

Not ridden it on resort but xscape wan ok with what was there. Nice flex and positioning.
Lib Tech is most famous for two of the technologies they introduced to the world of snowboarding:  banana shape snowboard profiles and Magne-traction edges. Together these revolutionized snowboarding back in the early part of this century but Lib has not rested on its laurels, constantly introducing fresh ideas and stunning graphics to all of its snowboards.
