Sidewall separating on 2nd day out.
great ride. Floats very good charges hard. Dissapointed the side wall is failing after 2nd ride. Hopefully it was just one bad board.
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.

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.

Blackfish will set you free !!!!!
I already had 4 high end great boards that I had a hard time choosing from but i heard the hype .......could every review be wrong ??? So I pulled the trigger and have since sold 2 of my other boards .... This board is pure magic!!!! If I had to choose to ride this board or my wife but like pre kid wife I’d still pick this board every single time !!! If you’re thinking just stop and buy and you can thank all of us later ...... I’m 6’3 220lbs and the 159 is perfect for me ........ don’t ever stop making this board ......

Orca escapes from seaworld
Found a 147 swimming off the coast of nova scotia, I asked it to join my crew and come west with us to kananaskis country. It has decided to teach the rest of the fish in the quiver how to attack, evade and just be an overall killer. Best ride I've had since returning from fantasia with falcor.

Orca Size Chart
I bought the 2019 Orca size 147 and wondering if I should have bought the 144 instead. I’m 5’5” and weigh 145lbs... I know Travis Rice sized down 8cm for his Orca and unsure if I should have sized down more as well. I normally ride a 150 snowboard. Can’t wait to ride it, but just want to make sure I purchased the best size for me. Thanks
