{"product_id":"lib-tech-orca-ii-snowboard-2027","title":"Orca II Snowboard 2027","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRocker Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi Camber\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDirectional C2X contour — rocker in nose for float and initiation;
