2024 Lib Tech T.Rice Apex Golden Orca Snowboard
The ultimate apex Natural Selection winning, pow pillow blasting multi directional snowboard in pinnacle apex “Techno Pop” carbon carbon technology performance construction. Travis took his Orca learnings and merged them with his elite high performance snowboard world freestyle tour dreams and multiplied them by Mike Olson’s technical composite wizardry to come up with this ultralight supreme Orca freestyle evolution. The long floaty Orca nose loves pow. A directional C2 contour rips resort, trenches hardpack carves and blasts off mountainous side hits. A brand new long floaty switch friendly power kink tail rides short powerful and poppy on hardpack but floats like a dream through switch freestyle takeoffs and landings. Unidirectional carbon over 30° carbon mega X over magnesium fiber bands wrapping a recycled PET plastic bottles, Paulownia, and FSC® certified Aspen core. Eco sublimated bio beans top and rugged, fast sintered base. All this and the elimination of swing weight with new “Anti Matter” 3 -D tips and tails… Our favorite twin power fish snowboard just went bionic.
