ALL MOUNTAIN - DIRECTIONAL

Where on the mountain this snowboard is especially tuned to excel.
Beginner level snowboards are fun and approachable for all riders while an advanced snowboard is tuned for a particularly aggressive / athletic style of snowboarding.
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.

Love this board. I've been riding big boards for the last 15+ years from 164-168 and this 162 is killer. I'm 5'9 240 lbs and had no issues sizing down on this board. I wanted to try something smaller cause I got tired of throwing around a 168 in the trees and this was the solution. I generally ride on the East coast and this thing has no issues with ice at all. Especially considering it was originally designed to be a powder board. I ride this board every day, regardless of the conditions. The volume shifted aspect isn't an issue with quick edge to edge turns. Overall, LOVE this board. Please don't stop making the 162! I noticed all the other new Orca's only go up to 159. Keep making boards the big dudes can ride!
I love this board. I just knocked out 100 miles of riding on this after being on Arbor Element for the last 5 years. My impression is that it carves incredible and saved me multiple times when I thought I might loose an edge but it caught and I came out of a carve. I did’nt get a chance to ride it in powder yet but it carved on hard and soft groomers like nothing I’ve experienced. I love the kicked back feel and it’s forgiveness is suited for any level rider. After one day of riding I convinced my wife to get one as well and she loved it. Home run on the design and ride!
This board is a combination of the best parts of every board I have ever ridden. Might actually be my last snowboard. Well done, Travis, Lib and Mervin team!
The Orca is playful and a great all mountain board for the powder. A bit squirmy at high speeds due to the smaller tail, but you could hit any terrain in any condition with this board.
