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.

Absolute resort killer

Carving is unreal, icy conditions are still fun with the elite edge hold. Wasnt sold on the magne traction creating a noticeable difference after demoing other magne traction boards in past, but having rode other directional sharp sidecut boards without magne, I can say that I could lay total trenches in hardpack on the orca and the magne traction seems to be the cause of this extra sharp edge hold. This thing of course also rips powder, is short enough for moguls and trees, and is surprisingly playful.

Where do I click for 6 stars?

Wow! I cannot speak highly enough of this board. Incredible. Cant wait for the next deep powder day to see what its really capable of. I decided to go with the 150cm (5 11, 175lb size 8.5 boot) and couldnt be happier with my choice. Very nimble in the trees and floats great in the soft snow that I was able to find, also feels very stable at high speed on the groomers and slightly bumpier snow. Dont be afraid to size down its worth it! Thank you lib tech for making me so happy

Orca --- Killer Whale, killer board!

I got my new Orca in the mail and headed straight into the atmospheric river hitting Mammoth Mountain. The board was amazing in the powder and a conversation starter in the lift line waiting for the chair to pop. Not to mention, it's pretty to look at!

Like Butter

Had to skip the morning at work to get this thing out for a couple laps I was so eager. Probably the most fun I've had on a board, especially considering I'd never ridden an Orca. Today had all the snow conditions going, and the board performed on all of them. Gripped the icy cat tracks, chopped through the wind blown chunder and floated through the powder hiding in the trees. Highly recommend.

You probably already know

Had the best first day of the season in years riding this board for the first time. Forgiving enough for exaggerated locked in butters and confidence pointing straight down the fall line, but also it will call you out if you do something wrong and will respond to your pinky toe on a carve. I'll probably always have an orca on hand the rest of my life. Makes my burton custom feel like a slab of cardboard.
