Lib Technologies Golden Orca Snowboard - 2027 One Color, 161cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying""I've ridden a lot of all-mountain boards, but the Golden Orca is something different. The C2 hybrid contour locks in on hardpack and then just floats when the pow shows up. The Makah Hemlock core gives it this snappy, lively feel that makes every turn feel deliberate. Travis Rice helped shape this thing, and you can feel that pedigree under your feet on any terrain.""Who It's ForIntermediate to Advanced All-Mountain RidersThe Golden Orca is built for riders who want one board that does it all — from resort groomers to backcountry pillows. Intermediates will appreciate the forgiving hybrid profile and switch-friendly nose, while advanced riders will push into the directional shape's freeride capabilities and poppy Hemlock core response. What It's ForAll-Mountain and Resort Terrain with Powder CapabilityThis board thrives on resort runs, hardpack carves, and deep powder days alike. The long, floaty directional nose handles pillow lines and open faces, while the C2 contour delivers full contact and control on groomed runs. It's designed to ride shorter than your normal board, giving it a nimble feel without sacrificing float. Why We Like ItFirepower Hemlock Construction Meets Proven Hybrid PerformanceThe Golden Orca pairs Lib Tech's new Firepower Hemlock Construction — a core blend of 60% Makah Hemlock and 40% Paulownia — with the award-winning Hybrid C2 rocker/camber contour. Magne-Traction serrated edge technology provides grip on ice and hardpack that a standard edge can't match. The Ocean Bound PBT topsheet is made from recycled coastal plastic, so the board carries environmental credibility alongside its performance credentials."
