Lib Tech Apex Golden Orca 2024 Snowboard
An advanced design combined with the absolute best materials
The Apex Orca was designed by Travis Rice and comes with an advanced construction and the best materials. Carbon and magnesium envelop a core of recycled PET plastic, paulownia, and aspen wood. A tight radius combined with a short, wide shape allows you to lay down the deepest Euro carves without touching the piste with your toes. The long nose and the "whale tail" offer plenty of room for creativity, whether in the backcountry or on the piste.
Riding style
This board is perfect for you if you're an advanced rider always on the hunt for pristine powder slopes and deep carving turns.
Shape
The tapered directional shape is perfect for all-mountain and freeriding. The nose is longer and wider than the tail for best float in powder. The setback of the bindings provides additional support. The Magne-Traction® technology provides improved edge hold with serrated edges. Especially on icy slopes they unfold their full potential.
Profile
The C2x profile comes with a short rocker between the bindings combined with a large camber underneath the bindings. This combination offers a good edge hold thanks to the camber areas, as well as good uplift and unlimited freestyle action without catching an edge thanks to the rocker.
Flex
The medium-stiff flex ensures precise control and fast board response.
Construction
The Techno Pop construction is LIB Tech's high-end build and comes with a lightweight, thin tip and tail profile combined with a durable carbon stiffener. The core is made of aspen, paulownia wood and recycled PET plastic for reduced weight with less vibration. For the stiffening, Lib Tech use a combination of carbon and magnesium fibres. Magnesium is two times more resistant than traditional fibreglass and offers the necessary stiffness with maximum weight reduction. The sintered base is very fast, but requires careful maintenance.
