Lib Tech T.Rice Apex Orca Snowboard | 2026

LIB TECH T.RICE APEX ORCA – THE ULTIMATE FREERIDE & POW SLAYER

As described by Travis Rice, riding the Lib Tech T.Rice Apex Orca Snowboard feels like "levitating in a light orb"—an ethereal experience, blending supreme buoyancy and explosive response. This is the pinnacle of snowboarding technology, a Natural Selection-winning, powder-dominating beast that will redefine your ride in both freestyle and backcountry terrain.

THE PINNACLE OF PERFORMANCE – DESIGNED FOR THE BEST

Travis took everything he loves about the iconic Orca and fused it with the elite high-performance features of his freestyle tour weapon, resulting in a board that’s a game-changer on any mountain. Thanks to Mike Olson’s composite wizardry, the Apex Orca is ultra-light and packed with innovation—from the directional C2X camber to the "Techno Pop" carbon construction that delivers unmatched precision and stability.

The long, floaty Orca nose glides effortlessly through deep snow, while the powerful, short-radius camber tail provides maximum control in tight, technical lines and the steepest terrain. Designed to be lightweight without compromising strength, this board is the ultimate tool for carving, slashing, and floating in all conditions.

UNMATCHED TECHNOLOGY

Crafted with Unidirectional Carbon over 30° carbon Mega-X, magnesium fiber bands, and a sustainable, eco-conscious core made from FSC® certified Aspen, Paulownia, and recycled PET plastic, this board is as eco-friendly as it is high-performing. The Anti-Matter 3D tips and tails reduce swing weight, allowing for unbelievable maneuverability and lightweight handling.

The result is a bionic, twin power fish snowboard that’s perfect for pillow blasting, resort ripping, and heli drops—built to excel on the deepest days and most technical terrain. The Apex Orca delivers dynamic pop, precision carving, and float like nothing else.
