The Lib Tech T. Rice Orca Snowboard isn’t messing around. It’s a full-fledged shredator built to tackle any terrain. Think long, floaty nose for powder days and a powerful, poppy tail for popping off jumps. The “Whale Tail Technology” gives you short-radius control for carving, while the tight sidecut lets you rip hardpack with zero toe drag. Wide enough for park rails, narrow enough for all-day riding, this board eats other snowboards for breakfast – just like a killer whale!
