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.

Seeing enough people on the mountain with this board it was time for me to join the club. I am 5'6"/ 150#/ medium bindings/size 9 boots . I think I was a little intimidated ordering a size online and downsizing a bit. My daily driver is a 153 T. Rice pro . I went with the 150 Orca and I'm super stoked on my set up and the overall feel. It floats, carves and just wants to go on the deepest of days.
bought this board for pow days but its great on the groomers. now this is my all around go to deck!
This stick lives upto the hype! If your looking for an aggressive, pillow smacking, line riding weapon, then this is your board. Not the best at going switch, but it makes up for that with precision in the trees and responsiveness where it counts. I love having an Orca in the quiver.
Rides like an absolute dream. I'm a woman and I was nervous about buying this board because I couldn't find any reviews from lady riders. So I found a demo at my local store and took that out for the day. It was love at first turn and I stepped off the board and straight into the store and bought one. I am 5'5/125lb/medium size binding/size 9 feet and I usually ride a 147cm. So I got the 144. Its perfect. Super stable on groomers but playful in pow. The board loves to turn and the art is sick. The only (very small) gripe I have with it is that the top sheet is very slippery. Its too beautiful to put a stomp pad on so I just sucked it up and got used to the slipperyness and its fine. I have a feeling my other twin board isn't going to get much snow time anymore because I just can't get off this board.
I'm a east coast rider who has solely been committed to the quality band performance of Burton decks since the early 1990's. The hype is real. Rides loose, but is so responsive. Who cares if it's popular, everyone has it, and you're a T Rice wanna be. Put that aside and enjoy the ride. You won't regret it!
