Drawn up to win his own Natural Selection contest every year, the Lib Tech T. Rice Golden Orca Snowboard will absolutely roast the meager slopes of your local resort. Designed as a cross between the “regular” Orca and the ripping T.Rice Pro, this volume shifted hybrid is a little more centered, with a more switch friendly tail profile. Fire up the drone and drop in: every run is a winner on this thing! It’s light, quick, floaty, and fast.
