Lib Tech T.Rice Orca Snowboard

Volume-shifted means the board is designed to be ridden shorter than your standard snowboard. Because it is wider, you get the same surface area and float as a longer board, but with significantly more agility and quicker turn initiation.

No, the Orca is best suited for intermediate to advanced riders. Its medium/stiff flex and C2X profile require a confident rider who can manage the board's power and responsiveness at higher speeds.

It performs exceptionally well on ice thanks to the Magne-Traction serrated edges. These edges act like a serrated knife, creating multiple contact points along the board to bite into hard-packed snow where traditional edges might slip.

While it excels in deep powder, it is a versatile all-mountain board. The directional shape and C2X contour make it very capable on groomers, providing enough edge hold and pop to handle daily resort laps comfortably.

The sintered base is highly durable and porous, which allows it to absorb wax effectively. To keep it fast and responsive, you should wax it regularly, especially if you are riding in dry or cold conditions.

The Whale Tail design provides a unique, powerful snap at the end of your turns. It adds stability and pop, which is particularly noticeable when you are loading up the tail for jumps or powering through deep snow.
