About the Lib Tech T.Rice Orca II Snowboard
The Lib Tech T.Rice Orca II is Travis Rice’s volume-shifted, all-terrain daily driver, built to devour the entire mountain. A long floaty nose combined with a powerful, poppy short-radius tail and a tight 7m trench-gouging sidecut let it carve hardpack with no toe drag while still floating pillows and powder like a dream. Since it’s volume shifted, it’s ridden 3-6cm shorter than your normal board. Now built with an ocean-bound eco-sublimated top and a sustainably harvested Makah Hemlock and Paulownia core.
Who Is the Lib Tech T.Rice Orca II Snowboard For?
The Orca II suits advanced to expert riders who want a genuinely capable powder and freeride board that still slashes the resort. It’s a strong fit for anyone who wants a tight, precise sidecut for hardpack carving alongside real float in deep snow. Riders comfortable sizing down for the volume shift will get on well with it.
