Description

ALL MOUNTAIN - DIRECTIONAL

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 gouging 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.

Now built with eco-sublimated Ocean-bound PBT top material made from recycled PET plastic waist collected from coastal areas.
Introducing strong, poppy Makah Hemlock wood cores sustainably harvested by the Makah tribe who reside on the Northwestern most corner of the USA near our factory.

Travis and Mervin will be donating a portion of the sale of each Orca snowboard to the www.orcaconservancy.org in support of their efforts to prevent the extinction of the Salish Sea’s Southern Resident Killer Whales. #betheirvoice

Flex

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.

Best board i have ever owned.

Coming from riding twin boards to this has been nothing short of spectacular. I have been snowboarding for over 25 years and this board is hands down my favorite snowboard ever. I ride pow and trees only. This board is the only thing i need. SIZE DOWN!!!!! This board is wide. I am so glad i sized down. I usually ride a 157 and i chose to get a 150. Absolutely zero Regrets. The most effortless float. I have never had to set my stance back. I ride center holes. Gonna try some added set back on a deep day this year though.

Love this thing.

I am not a park rider and that is not what this board is for. Carves great, is great in the deep stuff, and charges through the trees. It has everything I am looking for in a board. Love this thing.

There is a reason you see so many....

If you see a bad review, its cause someone is upset there are so many... There is a reason this board always sells out. Truly the most sensational pow board. Still rips on groomers, and I have even sinned a few times and taken her on the steel. Normally I would say don't believe the hype, but here I implore you to.

Over-produced...

Just like a Tesla or an iPhone, I think city people buy these just to boast that they have one. Ive literally counted over 60 Orcas in a single day here in Tahoe, it kind of kills the appeal for me. I used to really want one, but now they're more common than basic rental boards! It's a beautiful shape, but F that noise! ????

Side hit and tree run slayer!!

If you like to do everything on the mountain, but a lot jibbing or switch riding, you will not want to get off this board. Especially excels on the side hits and through the trees!!????????
