Lib Tech T. Rice Orca C2X Snowboard 2025
Overview
Shred pow, carve groomers, and dominate any terrain with the T. Rice Orca C2X Snowboard, designed by the legendary Travis Rice. This board isn't your average fish - it's an apex predator built for all-mountain technical mastery. The Orca boasts a long, floaty nose that effortlessly handles powder, while the powerful, poppy tail with "Whale Tail Technology" maximizes contact for explosive ollies and powerful landings. Carving is a dream thanks to the tight, 7-meter trench-gouging sidecuts that leave impressive lines on any snowpack. The wide design eliminates toe drag, allowing you to confidently lay down powerful lines on hardpack rails and float through pillows of untouched snow with ease. Yet, the Orca remains narrow enough to be your reliable daily driver all season long.

Control / Precision / Float
Horsepower Construction (HP) - 60% Aspen, 40% Paulownia. In addition, the tip/tail have been slimmed down to make rotations easier.
Bi-axial Fiberglass - This 2-way fiber orientation is engineered to provide maximum snap while decreasing chatter.
Tri-axial Fiberglass - This 3-way fiber orientation is engineered to increase snap and decrease vibrations for a smoother, more stable ride.
Eco-Sub Poly Top Sheet - Sounds technical right? It just means the top sheet is made from sublimated polyester material that's great for vibrant yet durable graphics, which means a long lasting image.
Sintered Knife Cut Base - This highly durable base has excellent wax retention thanks to its high porosity.
Mervin Made: EnvironMENTAL Construction - Core materials are sources from fast-growing, renewable forest products. Water-based solvents used for cleansing instead of petrochemical-based solvents. All wood sawdust is recycled as a soil additive, plus scrap wood is donated to a local Mood Wood company that packages it as kindling and resells it.
Handbuilt in the USA - Every Lib Tech board is handmade by snowboarders with jobs in the USA.
1 Year Warranty - Covered under manufacturer warranty for 1 year from the time of purchase. Warranty includes structural defects only and DOES NOT cover impact damage, abuse, misuse or normal wear and tear.
Magne-Traction Serrated Edges - Strategically placed bumps that create added contact points along each edge for increased grip and control in all conditions. Turn ice into powder.
Birch Internal Sidewalls - Rugged, lightweight, vertical end grain Birch internal sidewalls add pop and durability.
UHMW Sintered Sidewalls - A Lib Tech innovation that is twice as sintered as most industry sidewalls. This ultra high molecular weight (UHMW) material increases durability, response and control for easier riding.
