Breach! What’s that off the starboard bow? Early Release 26/27 Travis Rice models popping up at your local shop featuring all new recycled Ocean Bound top sheet material, poppy light locally sourced Makah Hemlock and a reshaped Orca II! We went down to the beautiful shoreline a few miles from the Lib Tech factory to have Pete Saari and Travis Rice break it down for us and swim with the whales… the Lib Tech ones. Welcome to a new chapter in the story of the world’s best powder predator and his Natural Selection winning brother, we are proud to introduce Travis Rice’s 26/27 T.Rice Orca II and Gloden Orca.
The Orca II, similar to the dynamic, classic Orca but with some beautiful improvements. Nose, we’ve rounded out a little bit for easier turning in deep snow and we’ve improved the switch-ability on the tail.

NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE PURPOSES OF GOOD (AND RIPPING)!
We’ve been working on this for six years trying to get it to come to fruition. It’s materials sourced within 50 kilometers of oceans and rivers that it is in jeopardy of coming into the water system. It get’s pulled out and made into a lighter, rugged PET top material.

The Hemlock naturally comes back, they don’t have to replant it, it comes back in the forest it grew in, self regenerating. And they mill it to our exact specifications so there’s almost no waste.
