From the free-wheeling features of Natural Selection to the humble slopes of your local resort, the Lib Tech T.Rice Golden Orca Snowboard delivers the goods. 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 switch friendly tail profile. Just who’s riding switch in pow? Well, you are! Takeoffs, landings, pow pillow blastings – everything is possible on this dream machine. Throw in a sick Joy Division inspired topsheet, and you’ve got a board that’s less “unknown pleasures”, and more “guaranteed fun”.
