Golden Orca 157 : J'adore cette planche pour la station et side country. Il y a encore beaucoup de surface pour la poudreuse mais cette taille est mon choix principal pour la pratique du snowboard en station car c'est essentiellement une Orca 153 avec une tail repensée qui excelle en conduite switch.
Golden Orca 161 : C'est mon board ultime de backcountry freestyle avec lequel je participe à la Natural Selection Tour et filme. Excellent pour la station car le noyau est amorti et bien adapté aux irrégularités de la station. ~ Travis Rice

Terrain
Where on the mountain this snowboard is especially tuned to excel.
Rider Level
Beginner level snowboards are fun and approachable for all riders while an advanced snowboard is tuned for a particularly aggressive / athletic style of snowboarding.
Flex
How easily does this snowboard bend under pressure? A soft flex is great for fun maneuverability while a stiff flex is better for aggressive high speed hill bombing.

Slays Powder Like Nothing Else Can
I have ridden this board on only 3 occasions since buying it new this year.
2 resort boot top days & one heli day about boot top. Holy ..ck this board is amazing. Effortless to keep hips and COM on top and be smooth or blast the tail in turns. And… so fast:)
Great pow rider
Flexible, poppy, good in all terrain. Good quality. Well built, No regrets Send it !
This board is Jut feels right
This will be my 3rd season on the Golden Orca. I actually purchased the same board but this year’s version. It surfs deep snow. Holds an edge on the ice. I’ve rode this board in the worst conditions and the best and it is just a beast. Gliding through powder or maneuvering through sketchy glades. It is a true all mountain. I talked to my cousin And to purchase and when he loves it just the same. Get you won’t be disappointed.
Best board out there
This is my second golden orca board I bought this one in a 153 and it’s unreal, if you want something to shred groomers or have icy conditions it handles them amazingly has great flex and pop and handles unreal in powder and trees, highly recommend this board to anyone!
