Lib Tech T.Rice Orca II Snowboard 2027

The Lib Tech T.Rice Orca II Snowboard blends Travis Rice’s legendary freeride vision with a progressive approach to sustainability. This volume-shifted pow predator delivers effortless float, tight resort carving, and explosive tail power while using innovative materials that help protect the very mountains and oceans we ride for.

Lib Tech pairs the Orca II’s aggressive directional C2x contour and 7m trench-gouging sidecut with eco-focused construction like the Ocean-Bound recycled PBT topsheet and a Makah Western Hemlock core sustainably harvested near the Mervin factory. The result is powerful energy transfer, durable high-speed performance, and a board built with respect for both riders and the environment.
