Lib Tech T-Rice Orca II Snowboard | 2027

Take It Everywhere

The Lib Tech Orca II 2027 is the apex predator of all-mountain freeride — redesigned to be faster, smoother, and more capable across the entire resort. Built by Lib Tech / Mervin MFG in collaboration with Travis Rice, the Orca II features an all-new refined shape, longer float-focused nose, and an even more eco-responsible construction. This volume-shifted powerhouse is designed to dominate powder days while still railing groomers and carving with authority when conditions firm up.

A longer directional nose combined with a setback stance delivers effortless float in deep snow, while the lightweight HPONH Makah Hemlock core and tight sidecut give the Orca II exceptional edge-to-edge speed and carving precision. The Orca C2x Directional camber profile balances power, control, and float, making this board equally at home on overseas powder missions or ripping Australian resort terrain. If you want one board that thrives everywhere, the Orca II lives up to its name.
