Lib Tech Orca 156 2023 Snowboard

SHORT AND WIDE FOR MAXIMUM FUN ALL OVER THE MOUNTAIN

Shred your favourite powder runs like a dream with the T-Rice Orca. A tight 7 metre radius combined with a short, wide shape allows you to lay down the deepest Euro carves without touching the piste with your toes. The long nose and the "whale tail" offer plenty of room for creativity, whether in the backcountry or on the piste.

Travis Rice and Mervin will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each orca snowboard to www.orcaconservancy.org in support of their efforts to prevent the extinction of southern killer whales in the Salish Sea.

Riding style
This board is perfect for you if you're an advanced rider always on the hunt for pristine powder slopes and deep carving turns.

Shape
The tapered directional shape is perfect for all-mountain and freeriding. The nose is longer and wider than the tail for controlled turns in any terrain. The additional setback of the bindings gives the board a lot of uplift in powder. The Magne-Traction® technology provides improved edge hold with serrated edges. Especially on icy slopes they unfold their full potential. 

Profile
The C2X profile comes with a short rocker between the bindings combined with a substantial camber underneath the bindings. This combination offers a good edge hold thanks to the camber areas, as well as good lift and unlimited freestyle action without catching an edge thanks to the rocker.

Flex
The medium-stiff flex ensures precise control and fast board response.

Construction
The Horsepower Construction HP is even lighter than the 'Original Power Construction' OP, more environmentally friendly through the use of organic beans and basalt fibres and offers an extremely smooth ride. The aspen and paulownia wood core is sturdy and provides you with a lot of pop. The topsheet is made from organic sublimated beans. The sintered base is very fast, but requires careful maintenance.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
