Description

ALL MOUNTAIN - DIRECTIONAL

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.

Now built with eco-sublimated Ocean-bound PBT top material made from recycled PET plastic waist collected from coastal areas.
Introducing strong, poppy Makah Hemlock wood cores sustainably harvested by the Makah tribe who reside on the Northwestern most corner of the USA near our factory.

Travis and Mervin will be donating a portion of the sale of each Orca snowboard to the www.orcaconservancy.org in support of their efforts to prevent the extinction of the Salish Sea’s Southern Resident Killer Whales. #betheirvoice

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.

GAME CHANGER

This board is a game changer, I saw so many good reviews i had to try it and boy oh boy it did not disappoint at all. Spent 7 days out in Vail/beaver/keystone and this board is amazing. I brought my terrain wrecker with me just incase and it never made it out of the Airbnb . From groomers to back bowls this board destroys everything in its path. My buddy who loves to bomb runs always ends up passing me about 3/4 of the way down, but he didn't pass me once in 7 days. This board bombs runs and felt super stable in every way. Never had any chatter under foot, and all my turns were locked in. Not only did this board increase my confidence , but it definitely took me to the next level skill wise.I can't tell you how effortlessly i floated thru the pow, its honestly the best board I've ever ridden. I have this board paired with nitro carver bindings and vans infuse boots. Orca size 153 height 5'10 150lbs

A Fan of the ORCA

I weigh 165lbs and went with the 144cm, this thing just charges when I point it straight. WOW!!! Every ride is gnarly when you size down as much as I did. It takes a bit getting use to with the short tail but one must trust the "ORCA".

The Stoke is real!

I never write reviews.. but after riding this board I felt compelled to do so. Believe the hype.. the stoke is real! I have never ridden a board like this in my life. By far the most fun I have ever had on a snowboard. I will buy one of these every year until they quit making them. Travis you nailed it on this one!

best board ever

this board is by far the best board i have ridden so far. handles everything perfectly, pow, groomers, and jumps, except ground tricks. very fast very stable. it is hard to find a board that is both agile and stable. this is that board. you won't regret it
