Apex freeride pow ripper meets resort slashing daily driver
What is the Orca? This is Travis Rice's one board quiver. From resort groomers to the deepest Japan pow day the 2022 Lib Tech Orca rides it all. The Lib Tech Orca features a long floaty nose, combined with powerful, poppy contact maximizing short radius Whale Tail Technology. A tight 7M trench gouging sidecut. Enough width to allow you to really put it on rail on hardpack with no toe drag and to float pillows like a dream, but still narrow enough to be your daily driver all season long. Take it to Alaska, drop Japan or Canadian pillow lines or blow minds shredding the home resort all season. The 2022 Libtech Orca is a mammal to eat all fish.
