What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying"I've ridden a lot of directional boards, but the Apex Orca II hits different. The Magne-Traction edge hold is no joke - it turns ice into a non-issue. The Orca nose lifts and surfs through soft snow, and then the fish tail snaps you back into control when the terrain gets technical. It's a stiff board that still communicates well underfoot. Travis knew what he was doing when he merged these two shapes."Who It's ForIntermediate to Advanced All-Mountain and Backcountry RidersThe Apex Orca II suits riders who can hold an edge and want a board that performs from resort groomers to open powder fields and technical backcountry terrain. It rewards committed, precise riding and is built for those ready to push into steeper, more demanding lines. What It's ForPark, Resort, and Backcountry TerrainThis board is designed to handle it all - groomed resort runs, pillow lines, heli drops, and trench-carving hardpack. The directional shape and Orca C2x contour make it equally at home charging powder as it is ripping resort groomers with precision. Why We Like ItTechno Pop Carbon Construction with Orca Hybrid Rocker/CamberThe Apex Orca II is built around Lib Tech's Techno Pop carbon construction - lighter, more environmentally responsible, and livelier than conventional builds. The core blends 30% Aspen and 25% Paulownia with 45% recycled PET bottles, wrapped in unidirectional carbon and 30deg Carbon Mega X magnesium techno fiber bands. The Orca C2x contour delivers full contact and control in all conditions, with a lengthened camber underfoot and shortened rocker at the nose for lift in soft snow. Magne-Traction serrated edge technology adds grip on hardpack that a standard edge simply can't match. The sintered knife-cut base and eco sublimated Bio Beans top round out a board engineered for riders who want performance without compromise.
