The Lib Tech T. Rice Apex Orca Snowboard evolves Travis' beloved pow-slayer with Techno Pop carbon wizardry and 3-D Anti Matter tips that eliminate swing weight while maintaining that famous volume-shifted profile. This directional beast combines a floaty nose for powder with powerful camber in the fish tail for precise control in steep terrain – all wrapped in unidirectional carbon, magnesium fiber bands, and a recycled eco-core that delivers supernatural performance whether you're trenching resort hardpack or dropping from a heli.
