Product Info

They look like Orcas from the chairlift, which is scary enough. But upon closer inspection, researchers can see the Lib Tech T.Rice Apex Orca Snowboard is an even fiercer beast. The silhouette's the same as as the "normal" board, but the Apex version have been quadruple Orcafied, with Lib's Techno Pop Construction – carbon, carbon everywhere. Lighter, faster, and a bit more stable, the Apex has a slightly mellower sidecut, making it better suited to the open faces you might find on your Natural Selection courses. Yeah, this one's a bit much – which is exactly what you're looking for. Chomp chomp!
