A Legacy of Innovation
Lib Tech, short for "Liberty Technology," was founded in 1989 by snowboard enthusiasts who were determined to change the game. Since then, they've been on a relentless quest to redefine what's possible on the slopes. The brand's founder, Mike Olson, brought his extensive experience in surfboard design to snowboarding, resulting in a revolutionary approach to crafting snowboards that excel in all conditions.

Lib Tech has consistently led the snowboard industry in sustainable practices, including the use of eco-friendly materials and manufacturing techniques. They're on a mission to minimise their carbon footprint while maximising your riding experience.
Revolutionary Technology
What sets Lib Tech apart from the competition is their pioneering use of technology. They're constantly pushing the envelope to create boards that perform at the highest level. Magnetraction™, a signature technology, gives you unparalleled edge hold and control on all types of terrain. Lib Tech also introduced the world to the innovative C2X camber profile, a hybrid rocker-camber-rocker design that offers a perfect blend of control and float.

Their team of passionate riders and engineers ensures that every board they produce is rigorously tested and fine-tuned to meet the demands of real riders.

SUMMARY
Travis Rice directional freeride — Makah Hemlock, Ocean-bound top, Directional C2X, 7m sidecutThe Lib Tech Orca II is Travis Rice’s apex resort and freeride weapon — a directional all-mountain board that blends Travis’ Natural Selection Tour-winning instincts with Lib Tech’s most progressive construction technologies. The 2026/27 edition introduces two significant material updates. The core now uses Makah Hemlock — a sustainably harvested wood sourced from the Makah tribe who reside near Lib Tech’s Mervin Manufacturing factory in Washington State. Hemlock is strong, poppy and naturally suited to high-performance snowboard construction. The topsheet transitions to Ocean-bound PBT — an eco-sublimated material made from recycled PET plastic collected from coastal areas before it enters the ocean. A portion of every Orca II sold is donated to the Orca Conservancy (orcaconservancy.org) in support of the endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales of the Salish Sea.
The contour is Directional C2X: rocker in the nose for float and easy turn initiation, followed by Lib Tech’s C2 camber/rocker/camber through the body for edge hold, pop and power underfoot, then a tight-radius ‘Whale Tail Technology’ tail that maximises contact and creates a short, precise turning radius. The tight 7m sidecut trenches deep carves at resort speeds. VOLUME SHIFTED — ride this board 3–6cm shorter than your normal board.
Rocker Profile: Multi Camber
