ALL MOUNTAIN - DIRECTIONAL
Where on the mountain this snowboard is especially tuned to excel.
Beginner level snowboards are fun and approachable for all riders while an advanced snowboard is tuned for a particularly aggressive / athletic style of snowboarding.
How easily does this snowboard bend under pressure? A soft flex is great for fun maneuverability while a stiff flex is better for aggressive high speed hill bombing.

I’m a huge fan of the Orca. I had a 2022 model and I’m a hard, aggressive rider. Needless to say, beat up the 22’ and it had some issues faster than I had hoped. Reached out to Lib and they made it right with a discount on the 2025. Haven’t ridden it yet, but it seems a bit more stable and the artwork is next level. Can wait to get deep in the trees on this bad boy!
I got this deck because of a board failure and store credit. I’ve been a long LibTech fan and I decided since I had the funds I’d buy an Orca. I always saw it as utterly overhyped and no way could it live up to reputation it had. Seeing how setback it was and using C2x I was even more skeptical as an East Coast rider. But today I was blown away! At my home mountain the temp was 32 degrees, three inches of fresh but heavy snow had just been dumped, and rain was threatening too. Still I took this deck out to give it a ride on the icy wet East and see how much of mistake I made. I had another deck in the truck so I wasn’t worried too much. Well this deck made me forget about the backup one I had in the truck fast! It destroyed the first run with ease. It’s a 156 and it ran with the stability of 165! Next was how easy it was to carve, it’s like this deck hates simple skidded turns and wants to charge only. C2x has long been a problem for me in firm conditions but I hardly even noticed it even when the snow began to firm up! All in all this IS a powder deck that can do a whole lot more! I’ve rode the Burton Fish and the similarities are there. The set back, long nose, short tail, taper. But the Orca eats that fish with a smile. Burton’s Fish was horrible outside of powder but the Orca adapts and destroys. If you’re looking for a deck for pow and whole lot more get this and believe the hype too. I do now!
This board is really fun. I am 5'5" and 120 lbs. I usually ride a 153 snowboard I got a 147 orca and I like it a lot. I can't imagine riding a 144 but I like powder
Advanced rider, 185 lbs, 10.5 boots and the 153 is perfect. Been snowboarding since the 90’s and this board blew me away. SUPER fun. Amazing it pow. Turn ability in tight trees is incredible. Carving is rad. Pop is good / fun flex. Love all that. BUT this is NOT the board for bombing down firm groomers unless you are on edge. I ride fast and had some close calls on it. So, amazing board overall and I love it…but don’t expect it to do everything!
First of all just look at it, second of all don't you guys think its popular for a reason, this thing bombs everything and anything, im 6’0 205 and i got the 156
