Description

ALL MOUNTAIN - DIRECTIONAL

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 3-6 CM SHORTER THAN YOUR NORMAL BOARD.

Now built with eco-sublimated Ocean-bound PBT top material made from recycled PET plastic waist collected from coastal areas.
Introducing strong, poppy Makah Hemlock wood cores sustainably harvested by the Makah tribe who reside on the Northwestern most corner of the USA near our factory.

Travis and Mervin will be donating a portion of the sale of each Orca snowboard to the www.orcaconservancy.org in support of their efforts to prevent the extinction of the Salish Sea’s Southern Resident Killer Whales. #betheirvoice

Flex

How easily does this snowboard bend under pressure? A soft flex is great for fun maneuverability while a stiff flex is better for aggressive high speed hill bombing.

best board

this is my first lib and I have no intentions of ever going with another brand. I just took it up for the first time since I got it and I was not a bit disappointed i just only wish i would of switched sooner. this board is amazing plain and simple and words do no justice for the orca. it rips through powder and floats nice even doing . I didn't catch an edge at all. everything said about this board is no bs. all I gotta say is I'd recommend this board to everyone. I felt like I've been riding libs my whole life. such a smooth ride, and honestly who wouldn't ride a board that the best snowboarder/ back country rider made. the best will make the best and settle for nothing less.

Best Board!

I rode my new board for the first time today. I've been snowboarding for 20 years and had no idea a board could perform like that! Absolutely the most amazing edge control of any board I have ever rode! I had the time of my life! The Orca is poppy, incredibly stable in all types of conditions, responsive, and has an amazing ability to grab turns.

Most excellent powder board!

I never saw the need (or had the funds) to justify having a powder specific board. But after an amazing winter at my home mountain I started contemplating the idea. When I came across the Orca I knew I had found something special! This board loves to float in pow, and is super responsive & stable for being a 153 (I normally ride 157-158). I’ve had a blast ripping pow, dropping cliffs, and popping airs & spinning 3s of every little hit that comes my way. It’s a super fun board that really excels on those deep days!

Outstanding warranty - outstanding performance

Shout out to Lib Tech! I had an orca that I had bought in the summer and I took it out two days. Didn’t do anything crazy but I noticed that the sidewall had compressed and delaminated about 6 inches. I sent it in for warranty and they were quick, once it was delivered, to send me a brand new one, specIally delivered with a sticker stating “No Biggie” if I might add. That kind of service will make me a customer for life! Thanks Lib Tech! The board is a monster, when the conditions are steep and deep, I have yet to ride something that grips, floats, drives or loves the terrain as much as this board. I have confidence that the board will take me wherever I want to go. Thanks lib tech for such a great product and service!
