T.Rice Orca Snowboard floats deep powder, carves hardpack, and powers freeride lines with volume-shifted design
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Orca lives up to the hype. I sized down and it still charges harder than my old boards. It floats in powder, grips on ice, and somehow feels both powerful and forgiving. It’s become my go-to ride for any conditions."
Who It’s For
Intermediate to Expert Freeriders:
Made for riders who want a shorter, wider board that floats effortlessly in powder and carves confidently on hardpack. Ideal for those who ride steep terrain, tree lines, and variable conditions with speed and control.
What It’s For
Powder, Trees, and Technical All-Mountain Riding:
The Orca is designed for deep snow and aggressive freeriding. Its directional shape, setback stance, and wide waist enhance float and stability, while the C2x hybrid camber profile provides edge hold, pop, and control in unpredictable terrain.
Why We Like It
Float, Control, and Versatility in One Board:
We like how the Orca’s volume-shifted design lets us size down without losing surface area. Magne-Traction edges lock in on ice, the Horsepower core keeps it light and lively, and the basalt alloy laminates provide smooth power transfer. It’s stable, surfy, and powerful—built for chasing lines anywhere on the mountain.

I read so many reviews on so many boards and ultimately decided the Orca sounded like the perfect board for me. And it totally lives up to all the hype. I love it so much. I've been riding for 25 years and this board tears through everything easier than any board I've ridden before. I feel super stable and times when I think I'm going to catch an edge, I don't, the board saves me! My previous board was a 152 Gnu B-Pro, I sized down to a 147 for the Orca and it's just right.
