The Lib Tech Apex Orca II 2027 Snowboard is the premium, high-performance evolution of Travis Rice’s iconic Orca. Built as the ultimate lightweight freeride machine, the Apex Orca II features an updated shape, advanced materials, and cutting-edge construction designed to deliver explosive power, incredible float, and unmatched responsiveness across the entire mountain.
Taking everything riders love about the original Orca and pushing it further, the Apex version introduces a switch-friendly Power Kink tail, giving you extra control when riding out of sketchy landings or approaching freestyle features. Combined with the volume-shifted shape, longer nose, and setback stance, the board floats effortlessly in powder while still carving aggressively on groomers.
Advanced carbon construction and Lib Tech’s innovative Anti-Matter 3D tip and tail design reduce swing weight and increase responsiveness, creating a board that feels incredibly quick and powerful underfoot. The result is a freeride board that can charge steep lines, slash powder, and still remain playful and maneuverable when needed.
Due to the volume-shifted design, it’s recommended to ride the Apex Orca II approximately 3–6 cm shorter than your usual snowboard length.
