New! The ultimate apex Natural Selection winning, pow pillow blasting directional snowboard in pinnacle apex “Techno Pop” carbon technology performance construction. Travis took his beloved Orca and merged it with his elite high performance snowboard world freestyle tour dreams and multiplied them by Mike Olson’s technical composite wizardry to come up with this ultralight supreme Orca freestyle evolution. The long floaty Orca nose loves pow. A directional C2 contour rips resort, trenches hardpack carves and blasts off mountainous side hits. The Orca’s unique powerful short radius camber tail provides power and control and maximum mobility and control in tight, steep technical terrain. Unidirectional carbon over 30° carbon mega X over magnesium fiber bands wrapping a recycled PET plastic bottles, Paulownia, and FSC® certified Aspen core. Eco sublimated bio beans top and rugged, fast sintered base. All this and the elimination of swing weight with new “Anti Matter” 3-D tips and tails... Our favorite twin power fish snowboard just went bionic.
VOLUME SHIFTED, RIDE THIS BOARD 3-6 CM SHORTER THAN YOUR NORMAL BOARD.

Board size:
Apex Orca 153 - "I ride this board off resort and it excels in Backcountry and pow. I rode this board at the Revelstoke Natural Selection event."
Apex Orca 156 - "I ride this board off resort and I will frequently ride the Apex 156 where I normally would ride the Orca 153 as it is even lighter than the 153 and with a reduced spin weight but added surface area, it is a great hack if you normally would ride the Orca 153."
