T. RICE APEX ORCA MEN'S SNOWBOARD - 2025

The ultimate apex Natural Selection winning, pow pillow blasting directional snowboard in pinnacle apex “Techno Pop” carbon technology performance construction. Travis took his beloved Orca and merged it with his elite high performance snowboard world freestyle tour dreams and multiplied them by Mike Olson’s technical composite wizardry to come up with this ultralight supreme Orca freestyle evolution. Our favorite twin power fish snowboard just went bionic.

VOLUME SHIFTED, RIDE THIS BOARD 3-6 CM SHORTER THAN YOUR NORMAL BOARD.

SHAPE

• DIRECTIONAL: Performance resort ripping to heli drops.
• ORCA C2x DIRECTIONAL PROFILE: Xtreme riding all terrain contour; full contact and control in all conditions. A central rocker builds in carve, edge hold, and float while the powerful cambers build in pop, stability, and control.
• MAGNE-TRACTION: Strategically located edge serrations provide unreal edge hold and control in all conditions.

CONSTRUCTION

• TECHNO POP CONSTRUCTION [TP]: Lightest, environMENTALLY nicer, liveliest.
• CORE: 30% ASPEN: FSC certified fast growing, light, lively, strong wood core material. It’s nature's fiberglass! 25% PAULOWNIA: Fast growing environmentally nicer light and strong and smooth riding wood core material. 45% RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLES (PET): Ultralightweight smooth riding foam core material made from recycled polyethylene bottles.
• GLASS: UNIDIRECTIONAL CARBON: Light, strong lively carbon fi ber running tip to tail for stiff ness, power, pop and apex performance.
• GLASS: 30º CARBON MEGA X: Light, mega strong, ultra lively Carbon fi ber 14 strand bands oriented at 30° to maximize control and response from your feet to the contact points for apex performance.
• GLASS: MAGNESIUM TECHNO FIBER BANDS: High magnesium content glass fiber that has high tensile strength, high elastic modulus great overall strength to weight properties.
• TOP: ECO SUBLIMATED BIO BEANS: Lib Tech's unique proprietary water based graphic process. It’s awesome, smells nice and looks great. Eliminates toxic solvent based inks used by most manufacturers. Allows the use of families of materials previously un-sublimateable.
