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.

Feel so good

This is the first new board I have bought in several years. I previously owned an Emma Peel in the early 90's. I ride east coast and midwest resorts, with the occasional trip out west to Vail or Park City. All I can say is that this is the best deck I have ever ridden. I ride groomers, hard pack, ice, etc every day, and this board totally rips. I can carve deeper than ever before, I can go super fast, I can do straight airs off of rollers and hits. This board does it all for me, so far, on groomers. I can't wait to get it into powder soon out west.

The best powder board..

Rode this board up at Baker on a powder day. In the fresh powder this board is freaking amazing… the big nose makes it to where you literally float on top of the powder, almost as if you were surfing. Later in the day once the snow started to get choppy the board did get a little squirrelly but nothing too crazy.

If you're looking for an all around pow-slayer that's effortless.... You've found it.

POW in the trees

This board is a surfers dream board

I am 6’ 180# and live for powder in the trees. Been riding for 23 years and had a chance to ride some great boards. My wife was demoing skis at whistler so I thought why not “what do you have that is fun”. They recommended dropping to a messily 153 Orca. I thought at this length it would never handle my size. I was wrong. I know own 2 orca’s and have abandoned my other boards. They are very stable in all kinds of conditions. Have saved my a— on multiple occasions when I have pushed past my abilities. It is more than just a power board it is fast and STABLE. thank you Mr Rice, LIB and Mervin
