Travis has upgraded this Jackson Hole resort slasher to a top all-terrain tech shred predator. A long floaty nose combined with a powerful poppy contact-maximizing short radius "Whale Tail Technology."
Magne-Traction is a patented technology that creates wavy edges on snowboards for improved grip on icy and hard snow. These waves provide extra contact points that increase stability and control.
The Lib Tech Golden Orca has won the Natural Selection competitions with power and agility in both directions.
Discover the Lib Tech Orca
The Lib Tech Orca is not an average snowboard, but rather a powerful and versatile shredder designed to dominate any terrain. This board, lauded by none other than Travis Rice, is optimized for top performance both in Jackson Hole and beyond.
With a elongated nose, the Orca glides effortlessly over powder snow, while the "Whale Tail Technology" provides explosive pop and maximum surface area. The tight 7-meter sidecut allows for sharp turns and deep trenches, while the wide footbed enables you to ride on hard rails without suffering from toe drag.
This board is designed to serve you every day of the season, whether you're going off-piste in Alaska, exploring pillow stacks in the backcountry, or simply impressing at your local resort. The Orca is not just a board; it is a predator that devours all other boards.
Moreover, Travis Rice and Mervin Manufacturing contribute to the preservation of the Southern Resident Killer Whales in the Salish Sea by donating a portion of the proceeds from each sold Orca snowboard to the Orca Conservancy. By purchasing the Orca, you not only enjoy unparalleled performance but also support a noble cause.
The volume-shifted design of the Orca means you can ride this board 3-6 cm shorter than your normal snowboard, resulting in a playful and agile experience. If you're looking for an award-winning snowboard that excels in versatility and performance, then the Lib Tech Orca is the right choice. Feed the shark in your snowboarding skills and let the Orca take you to new heights on the mountain.
