The Lib Tech Apex Orca is a premium snowboard that is as efficient as cutting through the hard slopes of a resort or blasting pillows of fresh snow in the forest. Made with high performance carbon construction. Multi-layer structure made of carbon, magnesium, wrapped in recycled plastic with very light wood filling of paulownia, balsa and aspen. A long buoyant nose combined with a powerful dynamic short radius with maximum contact length and killer whale tail shape. A snowboard wide enough that you can really put it on a hard slope without tucking your toes in and confidently paddle fresh snow like a dream, yet narrow enough to be your daily companion during the whole season.

Features:

• Travis Rice Pro Model
• Graphics: Mike Parillo (@mikeparillo)
• Hardness: 7 out of 10
• Destination: All Mountain/Freeride
• Directional Geometry Directional: A classic snowboard shape with a longer nose than tail. This design allows the board to float in deep snow conditions and maintain excellent stability on the track

• C2X Camber: Pronounced aggressive rocker between binding areas followed by smoother camber into the binding area for increased contact surface, camber designed for aggressive riding, agility; performs well in deep snow and is stable at speeds

• Magne-Traction is 7 strategically placed smooth protrusions on the line of both lateral radii. They protrude the most in the binding area, where the center of gravity is located, which adds control and power exactly where they are needed most. The rest of the lugs are smaller and not as aggressive: providing control without detracting from your freestyle freedom

• T.Rice Apex Orca Construction is a very lightweight, eco-friendly and responsive construction with a balsa, aspen and paulownia core, carbon fiber and fiberglass triaxial braid and elements createdmade from recycled plastic bottles.

• Core: 20% Aspen / 30% Paulownia / 40% Recycled Bottles (recycled bottles) / 10% Balsa - even lighter, stronger and greener for a better ride
• Combined braid: Spread Toe Carbon / 33? Carbon Mesh / S Glass Strips / Tri-ax - 33? carbon mesh braid, additional carbon reinforcement in the nose area, triaxial and S-shaped fiberglass reinforcement, this combination gives excellent torsion rigidity, lightness, good responsiveness and durability of the structure.
• Sustainable top layer: Eco Sublimated Bio Beans Top with the highest strength-to-weight ratio
• Base: Sintered Knife Cut: A fast sintered base with low fluorine content and therefore more environmentally friendly
• Construction: Tip / Tail: Lightweight Spin Slim - Lightweight profiled nose and tail design for better maneuverability
• Birch Internal Sidewalls - Birch Internal Sidewalls laid at a 90? angle provide excellent power transfer to the edges.
• UHMW Sintered Sidewalls - ABS elastomer sidewalls protect the core from moisture.
• UHMW Tip/Tail Impact Deflection - The strongest ABS elastomer in the nose and tail provides excellent responsiveness, strength and vibration damping.
• Handmade in the USA
