Description
Description
We all know about the black shadows of death, the terrors of the deep that are killer whales. Well the apex predator just got 50% more apexier. Think killer whales with freaking laser beams on their heads. Think orcas fighting great whites or giant squids or something, and their skin gets ripped off their face, revealing Terminator-style chrome and blinking red lights underneath. The Lib Tech T.Rice Apex Orca Snowboard is the pow-slaying all-mountain hunter we all know and love, laid up with a crazy light, concerningly bloodthirsty Apex Construction. It's a cyborg murder dolphin made of carbon fiber, PET bottles, and hot nasty speed.
Rocker Type
C2X – A shorter, more aggressive banana rocker combined with cambers that sit more underfoot. Extra solid tip and tail pressure for power, pop, precision and end-to-end stability combined with a medium amount of pressure between your feet for carving, edge hold on ice and float in pow.
Flex
Medium - Stiff – Stout enough to charge your hardest but without excessive harshness.
Shape
Volume Shifted – Ride this board 3-6 cm shorter than your normal board.
Lightweight Spin Slim Tip / Tail
Core
Apex Construction – 20% Aspen / 30% Paulownia / 40% (PET) Recycled Bottles / 10% Balsa. Lightest. Environmentally nicer. Liveliest.
Laminates

33° Carbon Mesh – Light strong, lively carbon fiber oriented to maximize torsional response from control points to contacts points for maximum performance.
S-Glass Strips – High silica content glass fiber that has high tensile strength, high elastic modulus great overall strength to weight properties.
Triaxial Fiberglass – 0° x 45° x 45° oriented fiber combination creates the perfect balance of torsional responsiveness and overall flex performance.
