Best Directional Twin Snowboards

The Lib Tech T. Rice Orca Snowboard is a versatile all-mountain board designed for advanced riders seeking a blend of freestyle and freeride performance. Built with Travis Rice's input, the Orca features a directional shape with a floaty nose for powder days and a powerful tail with "Whale Tail Technology" for maximizing pop and stability. The tight 7-meter radius sidecut ensures trench-carving precision on hardpack, while the wide body allows for comfortable riding and effortless maneuvering.

A rare and advanced piece of snowboarding progression from Lib Tech. It’s a wide, directional snowboard designed for power. Riding low-angle powder is a blast thanks to all the added buoyancy underfoot—in spite of the fact this this board was built for the steepest, deepest runs on earth. I wouldn’t recommend it for beginners, but it’s a great tool for bridging the gap into more advanced, all-terrain snowboarding when a rider is ready to challenge themselves.
