Lib Tech - Orca Travis Rice
Not your gutless fish. Travis has juiced up this Jackson Hole resort slasher into an apex all terrain tech shred predator. A long floaty nose combined with a powerful poppy contact maximizing short radius “Whale Tail Technology”. A tight 7m trench gougin sidecut. Wide enough to allow you to really put it on a hardpack rail with no toe drag and float pillows like a dream but still narrow enough to be your daily driver all season long. Take it to AK, drop BC pillow stacks or blow minds at the home resort all season. A mammal to eat all fish. TR. Award winning!
VOLUME SHIFTED, RIDE THIS BOARD 3-6 CM SHORTER THAN YOUR NORMAL BOARD.
Travis worked with our experiMENTAL Division to design this dream freestyling directional freerider. Ultra light, smooth riding basalt construction that can handle power and an oversized terrain mindset. Low spin weight tips and tails and a balsa enlightened core for nimble precision and extra rotations where applicable. Dream big!

“True to its name, this board is an epic tribute to the force of the Orca. I used a super traditional pointalism technique to create the gradation of the whale’s body, and we let all the magic come from its single eye. The idea here is that this board carries you through the depths of the backcountry, and the Orca’s eye is your compass along the way. There is no getting lost” ~ Kim Krans
