The 2023 Lib-Tech Apex Orca takes Travis Rice's brainchild and iconic directional shaped Orca, mixes it with his 'Climax' series, and adds the incredible Apex carbon construction to create the ultimate apex in a resort ripping, pow slashing freeride powerhouse. Taking the same floaty nose, tight sidecut and the contact maximising 'whale tail technology' shape but adding carbon over carbon over magnesium, everyones favourite power fish snowboard just received a futuristic bionic upgrade. If you want to one-up all your friends with a top-tier, all mountain quiver snowboard, look no further than the Apex Orca.
*Due to the volume shift on this board, we recommend you ride this board 3-6cm shorter than your normal board.
Rider Level: Intermediate - Advanced
Board Type: All Mountain Freeride
Camber Type: C2x
Shortened rocker between your feet with lengthened camber to the tip and tail gives you power and pop on groomers and in the park along with float and freedom to charge through powder. More loaded pressure in the tip and tail than regular C2 for a more aggressive and stable ride.
Flex: 7/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)
Shape: Directional
This board has a naturally wide waist width, a long floaty nose, and a powerful tapered tail that gives it amazing float in powder while still being versatile enough to ride every day.

Lightest, environmentally nicer, smoother. Combines 20% Aspen and 30% Paulownia and 10% Balsa woods mixed with 40% (PET) recycled plastic bottles with toe spread carbon, 33 ° carbon mesh and Triax glass for a super smooth, light weight ride.
Base: Sintered Knife Cut
Fast and rugged with maximum wax retention.
Mounting Pattern: 2x4 inserts
Additional Features:
Magnetraction - 7 strategically placed serrations along the edges of the board grip onto the snow and hold a strong edge in any condition.
Eco Sublimated Bio Beans Topsheet - A bio-plastic made from beans. Good for your board, and good for the environment.
Lightweight Spin Slim Tip and Tail - Reduced thickness in the tip and tail reduce swing weight, giving you quicker spins and a lighter board.
