Lib Tech Orca II Snowboard 2027

The Lib Tech Orca II 2027 Snowboard is the next evolution of Travis Rice’s legendary powder and freeride board, redesigned to deliver even better performance across the entire resort. With an updated shape, eco-conscious construction, and a lively Makah Hemlock core, the Orca II blends effortless powder float with powerful carving ability for riders who want to dominate all types of terrain.

A longer nose and setback stance provide excellent lift in deep snow, while the tight sidecut and responsive flex allow the board to carve aggressively on groomers. Thanks to its volume-shifted design, the Orca II offers exceptional stability and float in a shorter length, making it incredibly nimble while still maintaining powerful control.

Built using Lib Tech’s environmentally responsible Horsepower Ocean-Bound Native Hemlock construction, the Orca II delivers a smooth, damp ride with reduced weight and sustainable materials. Whether you're chasing deep powder overseas or carving fast laps at your local resort, the Orca II is designed to handle it all with speed, power, and precision.

Due to the volume-shifted design, it’s recommended to ride the Orca II approximately 3–6 cm shorter than your usual snowboard length.

A portion of every Orca snowboard sale supports the Orca Conservancy, helping protect the endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales of the Salish Sea.
