Lib Tech T. Rice Orca C2X HP Snowboard 2024
Overview
The Orca is Travis Rice's all terrain tech shred predator featuring a directional shape with a playful, yet incredibly responsive medium flex that is best in the hands (or under the feet) of intermediate and advanced riders. This board features a tight, trench gouging sidecut with a wide enough waist to avoid toe drag when carving hard and give you endless float in pow while still narrow enough to be your daily driver. Take it anywhere! This board is sure to blow your mind.

C2X Rocker/Camber Profile - Utilizing a shortened rocker section between your feet, with lengthened camber towards the tip and tail. Mervin's C2X profile provides unrivaled stability and landing gear while maintaining float and precision on powder and hardpack.
Control / Precision / Float
Horsepower Construction (HP) - 60% Aspen, 40% Paulownia. In addition, the tip/tail have been slimmed down to make rotations easier.
Bi-axial Fiberglass - This 2-way fiber orientation is engineered to provide maximum snap while decreasing chatter.
Tri-axial Fiberglass - This 3-way fiber orientation is engineered to increase snap and decrease vibrations for a smoother, more stable ride.
Basalt Fiber Reinforcement - Basalt fiber has strength properties much higher than fiberglass and better damping properties for a smooth ride. Basalt is a non-toxic, natural element that provides a better ride. Plus, it’s easier to recycle and is safer for humans.
Eco-Sub Poly Top Sheet - Sounds technical right? It just means the top sheet is made from sublimated polyester material that's great for vibrant yet durable graphics, which means a long lasting image.
Sintered Knife Cut Base - This highly durable base has excellent wax retention thanks to its high porosity.
Mervin Made: EnvironMENTAL Construction - Core materials are sources from fast-growing, renewable forest products. Water-based solvents used for cleansing instead of petrochemical-based solvents. All wood sawdust is recycled as a soil additive, plus scrap wood is donated to a local Mood Wood company that packages it as kindling and resells it.
Handbuilt in the USA - Every Lib Tech board is handmade by snowboarders with jobs in the USA.
1 Year Warranty - Covered under manufacturer warranty for 1 year from the time of purchase. Warranty includes structural defects only and DOES NOT cover impact damage, abuse, misuse or normal wear and tear.
Magne-Traction Serrated Edges - Strategically placed bumps that create added contact points along each edge for increased grip and control in all conditions. Turn ice into powder.
Birch Internal Sidewalls - Rugged, lightweight, vertical end grain Birch internal sidewalls add pop and durability.
UHMW Sintered Sidewalls - A Lib Tech innovation that is twice as sintered as most industry sidewalls. This ultra high molecular weight (UHMW) material increases durability, response and control for easier riding.
