What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The Apex Orca is next-level. It feels insanely light underfoot but still holds incredible edge control thanks to the C2X profile and Magne-Traction. In pow, the long nose floats without effort, and the short, powerful tail makes it maneuverable even in tight trees. It's the only board I've ridden that feels equally ready for big mountain lines and freestyle hits-it's like riding a bionic Orca."Who It's ForExpert Freeride and Freestyle Riders:The Apex Orca is made for riders who want pinnacle-level performance in all conditions. It's ideal for those chasing powder lines, carving steep resort terrain, and launching freestyle tricks off natural features. Built with Techno Pop carbon construction, it's a dream for riders who demand ultralight responsiveness and power. What It's ForPowder, Big-Mountain Freestyle, and Technical Terrain:With its long floaty nose, C2X hybrid camber/rocker, and short, powerful tail, the Apex Orca dominates in deep snow, carves trenches on groomers, and holds steady in tight, steep lines. Volume-shifted for shorter sizing (3-6cm shorter than your regular board), it's a versatile directional board that thrives everywhere from heli drops to park-style side hits. Why We Like ItCarbon Power, Featherweight Feel:We like the Apex Orca because it takes everything great about the Orca and elevates it with Techno Pop construction. The carbon layering makes it ultralight yet incredibly strong, while Anti Matter 3-D tips reduce swing weight for quicker spins and smoother handling. It's Travis Rice's dream design brought to life for riders who want the ultimate freeride-freestyle hybrid.
