Lib Technologies T.Rice Orca II C2X Snowboard—a high-performance freeride board designed for dynamic riding in powder, on the slopes, and in more challenging mountain terrain. The directional shape with a long, lightweight tip ensures excellent float in deep snow, while the pronounced tail supports powerful takeoffs and quick exits from turns. The C2X hybrid profile, combined with a short sidecut radius, allows for precise turn control, good maneuverability, and stability during aggressive riding. The wider design provides ample room for leaning without unwanted contact between the boots and the snow. Thanks to its technologically advanced construction, durable fir wood core, and fast sintered base, the Orca II is ready for all-day riding and demanding freeride expeditions.
- Flex – 7/10, a stiffer flex suitable for dynamic and more aggressive riding; provides stability at higher speeds and support during sharp turns
- Construction – Horsepower Ocean-Bound Native Hemlock (HPONH), a lightweight and durable construction designed for a smooth ride and more sustainable use of materials
- Profile – C2X, a hybrid combination of center rocker and camber underfoot; the rocker promotes easier maneuverability, turns, and float in powder, while the camber under the bindings ensures pop, stability, and edge control
- Shape – Directional, a distinctly directional design with a long, lightweight tip for better float in deep snow and a powerful tail for dynamic turns
- Tail Technology – Whale Tail Technology, a tail shape designed for powerful kick, quick exit from turns, and efficient energy transfer
- Sidecut – a short radius of approximately 7 m promotes fast, tight turns and precise board control
- Core – 60% Makah Hemlock and 40% Paulownia; the hemlock comes from sustainably sourced wood managed by the Makah Tribe; this combination contributes to strength, flexibility, and light weight
- Reinforcement – a combination of triaxial and biaxial fiberglass ensures strength, flexibility, and efficient energy transfer
- Top Layer – More eco-friendly Ocean Bound PBT sublimated material made from recycled PET plastic collected in coastal areas
- Base – Knife Cut sintered base designed for fast glide and high performance
- Sidewalls – internal birch reinforcements support structural strength, while sintered UHMW sidewalls increase impact resistance
- Tip and Tail Protection – UHMW material helps absorb impacts and protect the tip and tail of the snowboard from damage
- Edges – Magne-Traction®, wavy edges with seven strategically placed contact points improve grip on hard and icy surfaces
- Width – The construction provides ample space for deep carving turns and helps minimize contact between the boots and the snow
- Recommended length – thanks to the volume-shifted construction, it is recommended to ride a board that is 3–6 cm shorter than the standard snowboard length
- Use – freeride, powder, groomed runs, and dynamic riding in mountain terrain
- Rider Level – advanced to expert riders
- Graphics – DULK
- Origin – Made in the USA
- The graphic layout may vary slightly from board to board
- Logo placement and design may vary from board to board depending on the season
