Who would love these
The Lib Tech Orca is ideal for intermediate to advanced riders who crave versatility and performance. It's highly maneuverable and performs well carving groomers, floating in powder, and grips well on icy terrain. It's a fantastic choice for anyone looking to elevate their snowboarding experience by tackling technical terrain.
Why I recommend these
Expert verdict
The Lib Tech Orca Snowboard is a high-performing, volume-shifted directional board. Most riders choose to size this board down a few centimeters from their normal board length for added maneuverability in tight, steep spaces like trees, chutes, and spines. Its stiff flex makes it highly responsive, and Lib Tech's proprietary Magne-traction edge technology provides additional grip in steep technical terrain and icy surfaces. This board is durable and well-built. Slightly heavier than similar options in its class, its robust construction offers a smooth, damp ride that reduces rider fatigue. If you're looking for a versatile board that excels in any conditions and terrain but is really at home in technical and big terrain, the Orca should be at the top of your list.

Not your gutless fish.Travis has juiced up this Jackson Hole resort slasher into an apex all terrain tech shred predator. A long floaty nose combined with a powerful poppy contact maximizing short radius “Whale Tail Technology”. A tight 7m trench gouging sidecut. Wide enough to allow you to really put it on a hardpack rail with no toe drag and float pillows like a dream but still narrow enough to be your daily driver all season long. Take it to AK, drop BC pillow stacks or blow minds at the home resort all season. A mammal to eat all fish. TR. Award winning! Volume Shifted, ride this board 3-6 cm shorter than your normal board.
