- Lib Tech has an amazing lineup of boards for 23/24. When it comes to the Orca, what kind of rider is that specific board for exactly?

Much appreciated!

I love my Orca, it is my go to on powder days. It still rocks even when the mountain gets chewed up on those big powder days. If there is not a bunch of new snow I prefer my Jones Flagship. Both amazing boards.
2 top notch rides for sure!!
The Orca is my favorite out of my 7 boards. This board can literally do anything.
It really is a more versatile board than people think.
Wow that side profile is gnarly… you can actually see that odd camber shape. 😮
And it works like a charm!! 👍
Good to see you again matt

I have an Orca and love it
It’s a best seller for a reason! 👍
Hey guys,
what Orca Size would I want with 189cm, 100kgs and size 11 boots?
And would you even propose an Orca at all for someone transitioning from beginner/intermediate to more advaned rider?
Thanks!
You will want the 162 and yes the Orca is great for Intermediate to Advanced riders. 👍
I’m 5”10 200lbs would you recommend sticking with a 156 ?
If you are primarily freeriding the 156 would be great, if you want a more versatile all mountain feel you could drop down to the 153 no problem.
How does the 2024 orca compare to last years? Trying to decide if this is the one
No change really, just the graphic
@@PeterGlennSports gotcha! Better graphics. We all like that
Hi sadly not much pow locally. Looking for crust smashing, chunder busting, hard pack ice /slush 🐗 boar.
The Orca can do it all 👍
@@PeterGlennSports Thanks
Many thanks for sharing, much appreciated! How does this compare to my 2022 Deep Thinker which I ride at 157 (being 180cm/ 80kg)?
Similar riding style, all mountain board hidden in a freeride shape but the Orca has a volume shift so you would ride a 153.
Many thanks again and reaallllly good to see you on the internet again! 💪
My current collection: Deep Thinker 2022, Never Summer Protoslinger and Bataleon Disaster.
Any specific benefits the Orca would provide? @@PeterGlennSports
@@user-ld9xu9mk7z Doesn't look like you have a volume shift deck yet so for sure would be a good whip to add to your quiver! They are incredibly versatile boards and super fun to ride. Especially in the trees, extra nimble and easy to throw around in tight spaces.
👍 sorry to bother you again. When would I take out my Deep Thinker instead of the Orca?
@@user-ld9xu9mk7z Honestly if you had an Orca its so much fun theres a chance you might not ride the Deep Thinker any more 🤷♂
Popular for good reason. Riding this board anywhere almost seems like cheating.❤
Crazy versatile ride!!!
i'm really liking this board, but i mostly go on trips to late for any deepsnow ... Is this still one of a kind board feelwise? or should i opt for something different?
Like Matt said in the video, it's a surprisingly versatile board that performs awesome in deep snow. But it can be a one board quiver for sure.
@@PeterGlennSports Just doubting if there is anything better for Just the all mountain stuff then :)
Peter Glenn? But youre the Burton Boot Ladder man
Haha, got better stuff coming up here! Stay tuned
Hi, I had an Burton Baracuda 165, for 10 years now. I tried the new Lib tech T-Rice pro 159, but was not happy with the floating in pow. I am 6.1 and apx 220Ibs. Because of this I am thinking of getting a Lib tech Orca 159. What do you quess, will I be happy with that? And is 159 a good size for me?
With the volume shift the 159 will definitely fit you better in the Orca. That T.Rice is for sure a little small.
if i ride 149cm board, is the 147cm fine or should i go with 144cm? 144cm seems so short aha
144 would fit better. 👍
will this work well with the burton step on?
100%, the StepOn bindings will fit on pretty much any snowboard on the market.
195cm
85kg
9,5 US boots
Whats Orca size u recommend for me ?
You will need the 162 for sure
@@PeterGlennSports how ? I thought i have to downsize , i was looking for 156 ?
@@filipcvetanoski as tall as you are you are going to want more stability than the 156
Should I ditch my HTH for this board?
Up to you, it’s like having a short HTH. Definitely a fun board! ORCA: www.peterglenn.com/product/libtech-orca-snowboard-snowboard-mens
Hey man I’m using a jones frontier 158 I’m 250lb 5’8” boot size 9.5 and I’m a intermediate snowboard what size do you recommend?
I would check out the 156
You think the 153 would be to small? Just that I was told the 153 but idk for it would handle my weight
@@thebabyyoda9116 I honestly wouldn't go any smaller than the 156. Couldn't hurt to have the extra stability and pop.
What if I don’t get it 3-6 cm shorter and get my regular size board?
It will feel like you have a bigger board under your feet. Potentially feel TOO big and TOO stiff than what you are used to, or feel comfortable riding.
Rocker VS Camber? Rocker seems like it begging to catch an Edge... Looking at it. Ive never ridden a rocker. Please tell me more, any one.
You'll find that traditional camber is the most likely to catch an edge. Check out this video about the different profiles for a great visual explanation-> ua-cam.com/video/IZK1cPADUtw/v-deo.html
