What you're looking at here is the ultimate apex resort ripping, pow pillow blasting shred stick featuring pinnacle carbon construction and eco-friendly tech like recycled PET plastic bottles and Eco-Sub Bio Beans. With a long floaty nose and a powerful, poppy "Whale Tail Technology", riding the Apex Orca is not unlike a surfboard on a wave when it comes to pow, yet you also get a tight, trench gouging sidecut that lets you really dig in on hardpack. This fish is tough enough to handle any run you huck it down. The real question is... are YOU tough enough?
