APEX ORCA SNOWBOARD
Pickup available at 325 Rue du Marais
Usually ready in 24 hours
The Lib Tech T. Rice Apex Orca Snowboard evolves Travis' beloved pow-slayer with Techno Pop carbon wizardry and 3-D Anti Matter tips that eliminate swing weight while maintaining that famous volume-shifted profile. This directional beast combines a floaty nose for powder with powerful camber in the fish tail for precise control in steep terrain – all wrapped in unidirectional carbon, magnesium fiber bands, and a recycled eco-core that delivers supernatural performance whether you're trenching resort hardpack or dropping from a heli.
Product Details
Rocker Type
C2X – A shorter, more aggressive banana rocker combined with cambers that sit more underfoot. Extra solid tip and tail pressure for power, pop, precision and end-to-end stability combined with a medium amount of pressure between your feet for carving, edge hold on ice and float in pow.
Flex
Medium - Stiff – Stout enough to charge your hardest but without excessive harshness.
Shape
Volume Shifted – Ride this board 3-6 cm shorter than your normal board.
Lightweight Spin Slim Tip / Tail
Core
Techno Pop Construction – Core: 30% Aspen / 25% Paulownia / 45% PET (recycled plastic bottles) Glass: Unidirecitonal carbon with 30˚ Carbon Mega X / Magnesium Techno Fiber Bands
Laminates
Spread Toe Carbon – Flattened widely aligned carbon fibers maximize strength, minimize weight and eliminate potential stress/break points associated with woven carbon fabrics. Light, strong and responsive.
33° Carbon Mesh – Light strong, lively carbon fiber oriented to maximize torsional response from control points to contacts points for maximum performance.
S-Glass Strips – High silica content glass fiber that has high tensile strength, high elastic modulus great overall strength to weight properties.
Triaxial Fiberglass – 0° x 45° x 45° oriented fiber combination creates the perfect balance of torsional responsiveness and overall flex performance.
Anti Matter – Travis pushed Mervin's experiMental division for less weight, and they gave him Apex performance: 3-D carbon reinforced absence of matter in the tip and tail, reducing spin weight.
