Discover the Lib Tech Apex Orca
Travis Rice took his beloved Orca and combined it with his high-performance snowboard dreams from the world freestyle tour, multiplied by Mike Olson’s technical composite magic, to create this ultralight supreme Orca freestyle evolution. The result is an unmatched snowboard that is ready to take on any challenge.
The long, floating nose of the Orca loves powder snow and makes this board ideal for deep days in the backcountry. The directional C2 contour ensures excellent performance on-piste, cutting hardpack turns and launching you off mountainous side hits. The unique, powerful short-radius camber tail provides maximum power and control, especially in tight, steep technical terrain. This makes the Apex Orca not only versatile but also extremely responsive and maneuverable.
The construction of this snowboard is a technical marvel. Unidirectional carbon over 30° carbon mega X, combined with magnesium fiber tapes, envelops a core made of recycled PET plastic bottles, Paulownia, and FSC® certified Aspen. This provides a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and yet extremely strong base. The eco-sublimated bio-beans top sheet and the robust, fast sintered base add extra durability and speed.
One of the standout features of the Apex Orca is the elimination of swing weight with the new “Anti Matter” 3-D tips and tails, resulting in a lighter and better performing snowboard. This makes it easier to execute maneuvers and offers unparalleled control.
This volume-shifted board should be ridden 3-6 cm shorter than your normal board, which contributes to its maneuverability and performance. Travis Rice's dream of a directional pillow slayer has become reality in this dreamlike Techno Pop carbon construction. From ripping resorts to heli drops, the Apex Orca delivers unmatched performance.
Experience the ultimate snowboard evolution with the Lib Tech Apex Orca, where lightweight technology, durability, and powerful performance come together. Step on and feel why this board sets the new standard in high-performance snowboarding.
