Golden Orca

“I designed this board specifically for the Natural Selection and the demands that back country freestyle has on board design. The graphic couldn’t be more on point as an energy initiator. This board vibrates too high for an artistic noun, so Andrew Schultz straight up painted the vibe." - Travis Rice

Travis took his Orca learnings and merged them with his elite high performance snowboard world freestyle tour dreams to come up with this supreme Orca freestyle evolution. The long floaty Orca nose loves powand the switch friendly power kink tail rides short powerful and poppy on hardpack but floats like a dream through switch freestyle takeoffs and landings.
