Lib Tech T.Rice Orca (2022)

Short and wide for maximum fun all over the mountain

Shredding your favourite powder runs becomes a dream come true with the T-Rice Orca. A tight 7-metre radius combined with a short, wide shape allows for 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 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 Thetapered 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. TheMagne-Traction technology provides improved edge hold with serrated edges. They especially unfold their full potential on icy slopes and hardpack.

Profile The C2X profile features a short rockerbetween the bindings, combined with a large camberunderneath 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 your edges, 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. Thetopsheet is made from organic sublimated beans. The sintered base is very fast, but requires careful maintenance.
