Lib Tech T.Rice Orca II Snowboard 2027

The Lib Tech T.Rice Orca II Snowboard is built to dominate powder days while ripping resort laps with pure Travis Rice energy. This volume-shifted freeride machine blends surfy float, tight tree agility, and trench-laying carving power into a board that feels just as at home in deep backcountry lines as it does slashing side hits at your local hill.

Lib Tech pairs the Orca II’s directional C2x contour and aggressive 7m sidecut with thoughtful materials like the recycled Ocean-Bound PBT topsheet and a Makah Western Hemlock core sustainably harvested near the Mervin factory. The result is a responsive, poppy ride with durable construction that supports the ecosystems and communities that make snowboarding possible.
