ALL MOUNTAIN - DIRECTIONAL
Where on the mountain this snowboard is especially tuned to excel.
Beginner level snowboards are fun and approachable for all riders while an advanced snowboard is tuned for a particularly aggressive / athletic style of snowboarding.
How easily does this snowboard bend under pressure? A soft flex is great for fun maneuverability while a stiff flex is better for aggressive high speed hill bombing.

Had a skate banana for the last 10 years and finally purchased this beauty. First time out on it today the pop and flex are insane great all around board.
Got this board for the trip to Japan, Hakuba. 4-5 meters of insane powder. This board is just perfect. I'm 180cm/83kg and got the 157. Floats in powder like a dream. Landings are perfect, riding switch is easy. Glad i did not size down.
This is the one orca to rule them all. I've been riding the regular orca 156 for the last few seasons and been loving it. But found that the weight up front made it more difficult to spin when rotating off jumps and side hits. With the Golden Orca, it feels so much lighter up front! Been able to nail 360's off side hits first try super easy. Also, the extra tail-kink surface area on the golden orca makes landings on cliff drops sooo much easier. The graphics are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT on this one too, couldn't ask for a better all around pow and resort board. I'm 6'0, 190lbs, and got the 157. 157 has been perfect for resort and regular pow days; however, if the pow was going to be mega deep, I'd want the 161 Apex Golden Orca.
I have had an old Ride Serum 153 for over twenty years and was apprehensive about a new board because mine is still super fast. I got the 150 “B” Golden Orca and there were a couple of hard to notice spots on the top sheet, really nothing to write about. The board is a carving machine, super nimble, stable at higher speed, and so much fun to ride. This is all MY opinion of course. 23 years of riding, Snowboard instructor, speed freak.
