2026 LIB TECH ORCA – THE ULTIMATE FREERIDE & RESORT SLAYER
The 2026 Lib Tech Orca is Travis Rice’s one-board quiver, built to dominate everything from steep Alaskan spines to deep Japanese powder and hard-charging resort runs. This all-mountain freeride powerhouse combines effortless float, powerful edge hold, and high-speed stability—making it the perfect daily driver for riders who refuse to be limited by terrain or conditions.
WHY THE ORCA?
The Orca’s directional shape is designed for maximum versatility, with a long, floaty nose for deep powder days and a short, powerful Whale Tail™ that delivers insane pop and control. Its 7M sidecut lets you lay down trench-carving turns on hardpack, while the extra width ensures zero toe drag, no matter how deep you dig into a carve.
Whether you're ripping powder pillows in Canada, dropping technical backcountry lines in Alaska, or slashing resort groomers all season long, the Orca is built to devour it all.

Size Guide: Ride it short. The Orca has been designed so you will get all that stability and float of a much bigger board in something 7cm to 10cm shorter than a regular board. The Orca is as wide as a whale. Most average weights between 60kg and 75kg will look at the 153cm, 75kg to 85kg the 156cm and so on.
