The Lib Tech Orca II Snowboard, Union Falcor Snowboard Binding, and Union Reset Pro Snowboard Boot make up an all-mountain and freeride snowboard package for riders who like a short, quick board. The board's directional shape and tight 7 meter sidecut set up short, powerful carves, and its Hybrid C2 contour keeps full contact on hardpack. A Hemlock and Paulownia core with Tri-Ax and Bi-Ax fiberglass keeps the ride light and smooth. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The board rides shorter than I'm used to, so it pivots quickly, and the stiff binding and boot keep that quick response precise instead of twitchy. That's why I'd put an intermediate rider who's ready to push on this package: the lifted nose forgives a sloppy transition in soft snow, and the gear rewards a clean carve on hardpack."
