Lib Technologies T.Rice Golden Orca C2X Snowboard—a high-performance all-mountain board developed in collaboration with Travis Rice, combining the freeride capabilities of the Orca model with the freestyle versatility of the T.Rice Pro series. The directional shape with an extended tip ensures excellent float in deep snow, while the specially shaped tail supports dynamic turns, powerful takeoffs, and confidence when riding on the piste or in the backcountry. The C2X hybrid profile combines a central rocker with a more pronounced camber for precise edge control, stability, and an energetic response. Magne-Traction® technology enhances grip on hard and icy surfaces. The lightweight and durable construction features a wood core made of hemlock and paulownia, carbon reinforcement, and a top layer of recycled plastic collected from coastal areas. Thanks to the Volume Shifted construction, this snowboard should be chosen 1–3 cm shorter than the rider’s usual board length. The Golden Orca is designed for experienced riders looking for a high-performance board for speed, freeride, carving, and creative freestyle.
