Lib Tech T.Rice Orca

Volume-shifted means the board is designed to be ridden shorter than your standard snowboard without losing float or stability. Because it is wider, you get the same surface area as a longer board, which makes it significantly more maneuverable in tight trees and deep powder.

While it excels in powder, it is a true all-mountain tool. The Magne-Traction edges provide reliable grip on hardpack and ice, making it surprisingly capable and fun for daily resort laps.

A 7/10 flex is considered stiff and responsive. It provides a stable, locked-in feel at higher speeds and gives you plenty of pop, but it requires a more aggressive riding style compared to softer, more forgiving boards.

The Orca is specifically designed with a wider waist width to prevent toe drag. Even if you have larger boots, the extra width allows you to carve deeply without your toes or heels catching on the snow.

The C2X contour combines rocker between your feet with camber underfoot. This gives you the float you need in deep snow while maintaining the edge hold and stability required for carving on groomed runs.

Because of the volume-shifted design, you should generally size down 3 to 6 centimeters from your standard board length. Focus on the recommended rider weight range provided in the specifications to ensure the board performs as intended.
