T.Rice Orca Snowboard - 2025
Why We Like The Lib Technologies T.Rice Orca Snowboard
The ultimate powder day weapon, Lib Tech's T.Rice Orca Snowboard mows through untouched stashes with float, power, and finesse. Sporting a wide waist, directional shape, and setback stance, this board helps us float effortlessly in the deepest, lightest snow, while the seemingly short length is made up for in width for a volume-shifted design that always keeps us in the driver seat. The result is all the float of a much longer board, only in a shorter, more maneuverable package that rips through tight trees and offers a surfy feel when linking pow slashes down open bowls. The dynamic triax/biax with basalt alloy laminates provide an impressively smooth yet explosive feel underfoot everywhere from chop to slop, while the lightweight and powerful aspen and paulownia wood core keeps us light on our feet.
