LIB TECH T.RICE GOLDEN ORCA 2027

The Golden Orca takes everything riders love about the Orca and gives it a more freestyle-friendly edge.

Developed with Travis Rice, this is a powerful all-mountain snowboard that’s just as comfortable charging resort runs and laying down hard carves as it is floating through deep powder.

The long, floaty Orca-inspired nose gives you plenty of lift when the snow gets deep, while the switch-friendly tail makes the Golden Orca much more versatile for riders who like to ride both directions, hit natural features and bring some freestyle riding into the backcountry.

Lib Tech’s C2 directional profile combines rocker between the feet with camber zones towards the nose and tail, giving the Golden Orca a combination of float, pop, stability and edge control. Magne-Traction adds seven serrated contact points along the edge for extra grip when conditions get firm.

Heading to Japan, Canada, the USA or Europe?

This is where the Golden Orca really starts to make sense. If you’re chasing Northern Hemisphere powder but still want a board that’s fun around the resort—and you don’t want a dedicated powder board sitting around waiting for the perfect day—the Golden Orca is a seriously versatile option.
