Lib Tech Orca

Snowboard

About

The Lib Tech Orca is a high-performance snowboard designed for advanced riders seeking versatility across various snow conditions. It features a directional shape with a long, floaty nose and a shorter tail, allowing it to excel in powder while maintaining stability at speed. The Orca's C2x hybrid rocker profile combines a rocker section between the feet with camber under the back foot, providing pop and control. Its volume-shifted design enables riders to use shorter lengths without sacrificing performance, ideal for navigating tight spaces like trees. The Orca is equipped with Magne-Traction edges, offering enhanced grip on icy or hard-packed snow, making it suitable for East Coast conditions. It's constructed with eco-friendly materials, including a core of aspen, paulownia, and balsa wood, and reinforced basalt sidewalls for strength and durability. While it excels in powder and freeride scenarios, the Orca also performs well on groomers and can handle jumps with its above-average pop. It's not ideal for beginners but is forgiving enough for intermediate riders to enjoy.
