Travis is pretty articluate when it comes to breaking down lines, terrain, gear, and boards. He's a student of the game clearly. Been watching him since he rode for Rossi and poached Superpark. The contest innovation and surf-style competition in the Naturah Selection series is exactly the kind of progression the industry needs to go in.
It is my favorite board since I got it. Resort riding or in the backcountry. Love it! Lib Tech killed it!
Love the Karakoram clips
Looks like an excellent split board
Hell yeah the Orca is so sick. Just got done smashing a pow day at Baker on it and have been split boarding on a K2 Marauder. The Orca is night and day. Best board I’ve ever ridden and the K2 feels sluggish and hard to maneuver on the split days. Gonna grab this so I can have as much fun as I do at the resort in the BC.
Looks amazing I’m getting one
I can assert that the tail of the Orca split is much more comfortable than the sharp rising tail found on the regular Orca.
I had the opportunity to get this board in august 2021 to ride it the las week of winter season here en Chile… and it’s mind blowing… I get 153 and I’m 1.76 88 kg and it’s feel so precise and accurate that I couldn’t process in the first ride. I did it with tons of fresh pow and it was amazing. There was no need to lay back and feels like you over a skateboard.
The only problem with 153, was the Splitboard skins doesn’t fit, cause they are made it for larger boards and I had to make a few changes to fit in.
How is the edge hold in walk mode ? I thought it could be an issue since in walk mode your feet sit over where the rocker part of the profile is , Here in NEw Zealand splitboarding there is alot of wind swept and icey terrain , im confident the orca can kill it in normal riding mode but i did have concerns over the walk mode , Still feel the Jones Solution is the better bet but damn that split looks beautiful and I have a normal orca in 153 and its one of my main boards!
I have a camber split board but after buying the Rasman last year I've decided I need a C2x split as well. Glad I found one for cheap, the new $1200 is hard to swallow. Not saying it's not justified as I'm sure that profile as a split is rough to build, but the Weston Backwoods Carbon is cheaper, lighter, stronger. Not C2x tho 😉
I'm 6'2", 180lbs and have about 40 days on a 156 reg orca. I've been thinking about dropping down on my Orca to 153 for side country. What size should I go with for a split?
one to get
grail
It’s camber ??!!!
No
Split mode with a rocker profile?no way😂😂
