Natural Selection winning power predator in both directions. 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 pow. A directional C2 contour rips resort, trenches hardpack carves and blasts off mountainous side hits. A brand new long floaty switch friendly power kink tail rides short powerful and poppy on hardpack but floats like a dream through switch freestyle takeoffs and landings. The beloved Orca merges with magical T. Rice Pro and manifests a golden power beast. VOLUME SHIFTED, RIDE THIS BOARD 1-3 CM SHORTER THAN YOUR NORMAL BOARD. • Now built with eco-sublimated Ocean-bound PBT top material made from recycled PET plastic waist collected from coastal areas. • Introducing strong, poppy Makah Hemlock wood cores sustainably harvested by the Makah tribe who reside on the Northwestern most corner of the USA near our factory.

RIDER INFO: Travis Rice Height: 180cm / 5’11” Weight: 86kg / 190lbs Boot size: 44EU / 11US Board size: Golden Orca 157: I love this board for resort and side country. Still a lot of surface area for pow but this size is my go-to for all mountain resort riding as it is basically an Orca 153 with a redesigned tail that excels while switch riding. Golden Orca 161: This is my ultimate backcountry freestyle stick that I compete with at Natural Selection and film with. Great for resort as the core is damp and well suited for resort chop. ~Travis Rice BOARD ART BY: DULK
