T.Rice Orca II

This thing is a monster anywhere you want to go. I read the reviews and it showed up on almost every top ten powder boards list. Bought it in August and rode a 157 banana magic all winter saving the Orca for my February Whistler trip (didn’t want to ruin it on the ice coast before powder). I’m 6’2” size 12 boot, 175 lbs and got a 153 as recommended by T Rice himself in his YouTube orca review. Stance width is 21” left foot @ 0 & right foot at 3 degrees. Initially, I had my stance as centered as I could get it but I didn’t feel like I was sitting in the middle of the sidecut so I moved it as far back as I could and quickly forgot about it. It feels so natural, like an old friend. Strapped it on for 6 days in whistler including a heli day. This. thing. shreds. everything. Period. It cruises along on the groomers Just fine and is crazy stable, but if you want to turn the heat up, this beast will straight up dominate everything from groomers, to ripping through the glades, to perfect powder. The short tail makes it so much fun in the trees, and that kink is the future. You feel the aggressiveness in the tail from the first butter, the Orca is ready to rip. You can really dig the corners of the linked tail in on hard and fast carves. Lib-Tech, you nailed it. Please make a split Orca.

I'm 6'3 and 200 lbs and bought the 159. The Orca is pure ecstasy on a snowboard. I bought it for the powder but it can hold it's own on groomers. I got this thing going 53 MPH in Mammoth and it felt stable. It also has a nice pop when going off side hits through the trees. Love this board!!

This board is a game changer, I saw so many good reviews i had to try it and boy oh boy it did not disappoint at all. Spent 7 days out in Vail/beaver/keystone and this board is amazing. I brought my terrain wrecker with me just incase and it never made it out of the Airbnb . From groomers to back bowls this board destroys everything in its path. My buddy who loves to bomb runs always ends up passing me about 3/4 of the way down, but he didn't pass me once in 7 days. This board bombs runs and felt super stable in every way. Never had any chatter under foot, and all my turns were locked in. Not only did this board increase my confidence , but it definitely took me to the next level skill wise.I can't tell you how effortlessly i floated thru the pow, its honestly the best board I've ever ridden. I have this board paired with nitro carver bindings and vans infuse boots. Orca size 153 height 5'10 150lbs

Super fun freeride board. Only rode my newly purchased Orca once in knee to waist deep powder and it handled Excellent!!! . Super smooth, Ultra floaty and Stable! Looking forward to more sessions on this Awesome Board! Stoked!!

I weigh 165lbs and went with the 144cm, this thing just charges when I point it straight. WOW!!! Every ride is gnarly when you size down as much as I did. It takes a bit getting use to with the short tail but one must trust the "ORCA".
