Description

The Lib Tech T. Rice Golden Orca Snowboard is a pow-hungry predator that’s equally lethal in both directions, featuring the iconic floaty nose for deep days plus a revolutionary switch-friendly power kink tail that pops on hardpack and floats through powder landings. This Natural Selection champion maintains the volume-shifted philosophy (ride it 1-3cm shorter than a regular board) while adding versatility that transforms it from resort daily driver to pillow-line destroyer. This is Travis Rice’s personal superpower for those days when “impossible” just isn’t in the vocabulary.
