Alright, shreddies! My crew and I recently had the chance to take the 2024 Lib Tech Golden Orca for a spin, and let me tell you, this deck is FIRE!
But this ain't just any Orca... this is the Golden Orca, born from the mind of the legendary Travis Rice himself. This is the board that helped him conquer Natural Selection, and now it's ready to unleash its power on the rest of us, mere mortals.
Here's the #Stoke report:
Quiver Killer: This board truly does it all. From groomers to powder to trees, it handles everything like a champ. Travis took everything he learned from the original Orca and infused it with his freestyle prowess to create this all-terrain beast.
Freestyle Finesse: Laying down Eurocarves, boosting side hits, buttering, jibbing, even stomping switch landings – this board is seriously versatile and playful. The C2 contour with Magne-Traction rips the resort, and the "power kink tail" provides the perfect blend of pop and float for freestyle domination.
Powder Powerhouse: Floats like a dream and handles chop with ease. That long, floaty Orca nose was born for powder.
Tech Talk:
This is a volume-shifted board, so ride it 1-3cm shorter than your usual size. And peep that sick artwork by Jessica Lichtenstein!
Where to Find the Golden Orca:
Bear Valley: Head over to Mt. Reba Sports in the lodge and talk to Maxx, Jason, or Noah. They'll hook you up!
China Peak: Hit up the China Peak Sports Shop and ask for Mark or Nakita. They'll get you sorted.
Tell 'em Coop sent ya! You might even score a sweet deal. 😉
Overall:
The team is absolutely #Stoked on the Lib Tech Golden Orca. It's a solid daily driver for intermediate to advanced riders, and even experts will appreciate its versatility. I highly recommend checking it out.
