The board is constructed from sustainable and environmentally responsible materials, including Uni-directional carbon, magnesium fiber tires, and a core of recycled PET-bottles, Paulownia, and FSC® certified Aspen wood.
Whether you're looking for those epic powder rides, challenging descents, or your next freestyle-adventure, the Lib Tech Apex Golden Orca is ready to meet your needs.
