{"product_id":"orca-ii-snowboard","title":"Orca II Snowboard","description":"\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eThe Lib Tech Orca II Snowboard is the latest evolution of Travis Rice’s iconic Orca and combines excellent powder performance with surprising power on the slopes. Lib Tech has equipped the Orca II with an updated Dream Shape featuring a long, floaty nose, a powerful Whale Tail, and a short 7 m sidecut. The board retains its volume-shifted design, allowing you to ride it 3 to 6 cm shorter than a traditional snowboard. Add to that a firm 7\/10 flex, the new Makah Hemlock wood core, and the versatile hybrid profile, and you get a directional freeride machine that isn’t just for powder days. Lib Tech aptly describes it as a freeride powder ripper that also doubles as a resort daily driver. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFlex\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e 7\/10—\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ewith a stiff snowboard like this, you’re guaranteed excellent response and support, allowing you to ride the slopes with confidence and power.
