Lib Tech Snowboard Orca II
Not your average gillless fish. Travis transformed this Jackson Hole resort slasher into an all-terrain technical predator. The long, floating nose combined with a powerful, dynamic touchpoint maximizes the short-radius "Whale Tail" technology. It boasts a tight 7-meter sidecut. Wide enough to let you ride a hard-packed rail without dragging your feet, it floats like a dream. It's also thin enough to be your everyday board all season long. Take it to the AK, shred the moguls in British Columbia, or show it off at home all season. An award-winning TR. A true mammal ready to devour any fish!
VOLUME REDUCED, RIDE THIS BOARD 3-6 CM SHORTER THAN YOUR NORMAL BOARD
Travis and Mervin will donate a portion of the proceeds from each Orca snowboard sale to www.orcaconservancy.org to support their fight to prevent the extinction of orcas in the South Salish Sea. #betheirvoice
- A DREAMY SHAPE AND DIRECTIONAL FORM TO, AS TRAVIS WOULD SAY, HAVE MORE FUN
- WHEN A FREERIDE BOARD ON THE POWDER SNOW OF THE SUMMITS MEETS AN EVERYDAY BOARD THAT BLOWS THE SEASONS
- A FLOATING NOSE, A TIGHT SIDE CUT AND A TAIL FOR MAXIMUM POWER

Board size:
Orca 150: Sometimes I'll go skiing hard on this board even though it's quite small for me. Fun and small, still with enough waist room.
Orca 153: This is the main size I use for skiing at the resort and on steep backcountry terrain, as well as steep technical trees, pillows, and ridges. My favorite carver for the resort and what I use for Natural Selection events.
Orca 156: I use this board on days with heavy snow in the backcountry, along with powder days at the resort.
Orca 159: I use this board when there is a lot of powder snow and I am not skiing on very steep terrain.
Orca 162: I'll ride this in extremely deep, light snow and on relatively gentle terrain. ~Travis Rice
