About the Lib Tech Apex Golden Orca
Early released by Lib Tech, Travis Rice has used the knowledge gained from the Orca to create the Apex Golden Orca, the freestyle evolution – merging Rice’s go-to boards, the Orca and the T.Rice Pro.
The C2X Banana camber profile has been used, as in the original Orca, which has been adapted from the award-winning C2 profile and provides a shorter, more aggressive rocker between the feet with a longer camber that sits more underfoot. This makes initiating turns easy and helps maintain float in powder. This profile also contains extra tip and tail pressure to enhance pop, stability, and precision.
The Firepower Construction uses a combination of 60% Aspen, 40% Paulownia with extruded base and which is super light but also provides the smoothest ride of all Lib tech’s cores. What sets the Apex Golden Orca apart is the new, long, floaty, switch-friendly, power kink tail which is poppy and powerful on hard-packed snow, still offers loads of float in powder, and has no problem riding switch.
Lib Tech’s innovative Magne-Traction edge construction gives the board a serrated shape that digs into the crust and grants absolutely effortless edge hold in the steepest and iciest conditions.
Coming with a generous wide waistline, this board is literally made for ploughing deep powder and carving up the corduroy. The wide shape allows you to really lay it over onto its edges without the slightest bit of toe drag, so you can edge out the biggest carves on the hardpack and the surfiest of deep powder turns. A deep 8-meter side cut will really get you laying out those perfect turns and massive snow sprays just like the master himself.
Lib Tech and Travis took his Orca learnings and merged them with his elite high-performance snowboard world freestyle tour dreams to come up with this supreme Orca freestyle evolution.
