The Lib Tech T. Rice Apex Orca Snowboard evolves Travis' beloved pow-slayer with Techno Pop carbon wizardry and 3-D Anti Matter tips that eliminate swing weight while maintaining that famous volume-shifted profile. This directional beast combines a floaty nose for powder with powerful camber in the fish tail for precise control in steep terrain – all wrapped in unidirectional carbon, magnesium fiber bands, and a recycled eco-core that delivers supernatural performance whether you're trenching resort hardpack or dropping from a heli.
C2X – A shorter, more aggressive banana rocker combined with cambers that sit more underfoot. Extra solid tip and tail pressure for power, pop, precision and end-to-end stability combined with a medium amount of pressure between your feet for carving, edge hold on ice and float in pow.
Medium - Stiff – Stout enough to charge your hardest but without excessive harshness.
Volume Shifted – Ride this board 3-6 cm shorter than your normal board.
Lightweight Spin Slim Tip / Tail
Techno Pop Construction – Core: 30% Aspen / 25% Paulownia / 45% PET (recycled plastic bottles) Glass: Unidirecitonal carbon with 30˚ Carbon Mega X / Magnesium Techno Fiber Bands
