Nobody tells an 8,000 lb. sea mammal what it is or isn't going to have for lunch and the same applies to the fresh new Lib Tech T.Rice Apex Orca Snowboard. If it happens to be a 50 degree face with massive mandatory air, so much the better. Featuring the new Techno Pop construction with tip to tail unidirectional carbon fiber and massive Mega X Carbon reinforcements emanating from the binding mount areas backing up a core of Aspen, Paulownia and recycled plastic bottles, the Apex Orca is ready to make a feast of any slope you point it at.
C2X – A shorter, more aggressive banana rocker combined with cambers that sit more underfoot. Extra solid tip and tail pressure for power, pop, precision and end-to-end stability combined with a medium amount of pressure between your feet for carving, edge hold on ice and float in pow.
Medium - Stiff – Stout enough to charge your hardest but without excessive harshness.
Volume Shifted – Ride this board 3-6 cm shorter than your normal board.
Lightweight Spin Slim Tip / Tail
Techno Pop Construction – Core: 30% Aspen / 25% Paulownia / 45% PET (recycled plastic bottles) Glass: Unidirecitonal carbon with 30˚ Carbon Mega X / Magnesium Techno Fiber Bands
Spread Toe Carbon – Flattened widely aligned carbon fibers maximize strength, minimize weight and eliminate potential stress/break points associated with woven carbon fabrics. Light, strong and responsive.
33° Carbon Mesh – Light strong, lively carbon fiber oriented to maximize torsional response from control points to contacts points for maximum performance.
S-Glass Strips – High silica content glass fiber that has high tensile strength, high elastic modulus great overall strength to weight properties.
Triaxial Fiberglass – 0° x 45° x 45° oriented fiber combination creates the perfect balance of torsional responsiveness and overall flex performance.
Anti Matter – Travis pushed Mervin's experiMental division for less weight, and they gave him Apex performance: 3-D carbon reinforced absence of matter in the tip and tail, reducing spin weight.

Strap in, strap out, strap in, strap out. It's a drag, isn't it? The Nidecker Supermatic Carbon Snowboard Bindings change the game with a revolutionary drop in design that makes it easier than ever to get going. The all new configuration combines traditional straps with a reclining highback and automatic closure system. Simply drop your boot in from above, step down, and a heel pedal automatically snaps the highback and straps shut to lock you in for the ride. This upgraded Carbon version features a stiff, powerful flex and cutting edge lightweight materials for the best possible precision and response when you need it most. Super indeed!

Carbon Auto Base
Heel Pedal – The heel pedal activates the automatic closing of the hiback and straps, and locks the engagement system. This mechanism is self-cleaning to avoid snow build-up, and there are three engagement clicks for increased security.
Release Lever – Push to unlock the engagement system and lift your boot up & out. The release lever is located on the medial side of the baseplate for maximum ergonomic effi ciency and protection from external triggers.
Heelcup Roller – The heelcup roller reduces friction and guides the heel of the boot down, for buttery-smooth entry and exit.
Slip-N-Grip Plate – Reduces friction with the outsole of your snowboard boot. Allows you to easily slide in and out, without compromising the underfoot comfort of 2.5° Bankbeds.
Nylon Multidisk – 4HP + 3HP + Channel
Carbon S Ultraback
Reclining Highback – The Reclining Hiback creates the fastest automatic entry system. It fully folds down, creating a large opening to conveniently drop in your boot.
Exo-Kush Pro S Hybrid Straps
Hexo Toe Cap with Aux Tech – A 3D Hinged Auxetic pattern for unmatched formfitting the toebox of your boot.
Active Strap – As you recline the hiback, the footstrap gets actively lifted out of the way, so you can easily and conveniently get your boot in and out. The straps hug your boot with the tightness at which you first set them, each & every time you drop in.
LSR 2.0 Auto-Lock Carbon – Locking Slap Ratchet buckles lock down to secure your preferred footstrap tightness. Either Set-it and Forget-it for the Automatic mode, or just use them like regular buckles for the two-strap experience.
Drop In Technology – This technology was developed to allow easy opening and closure in complete safety. Multiple notches allow the binding to lock shut from the first click; there are three in total, which allow closure even if obstructed by snow accumulation. Just in case you’re in steep or off-camber terrain...or waist deep powder.
