2027 Orca II Review
Took my brand new ’27 Orca II out on the best powder day of the year 4/2/26 with 10” new at the base and over 1’ up top. The board was phenomenal!! So easy and fun in the deep stuff and made me better than I am.
Descripción
ALL MOUNTAIN - DIRECTIONAL
Not your gutless fish. Travis has juiced up this Jackson Hole resort slasher into an apex all terrain tech shred predator. A long floaty nose combined with a powerful poppy contact maximizing short radius “Whale Tail Technology”. A tight 7m trench gouging sidecut. Wide enough to allow you to really put it on a hardpack rail with no toe drag and float pillows like a dream but still narrow enough to be your daily driver all season long. Take it to AK, drop BC pillow stacks or blow minds at the home resort all season. A mammal to eat all fish. TR. Award winning!
VOLUME SHIFTED, RIDE THIS BOARD 3-6 CM SHORTER THAN YOUR NORMAL BOARD.

Flex
How easily does this snowboard bend under pressure? A soft flex is great for fun maneuverability while a stiff flex is better for aggressive high speed hill bombing.

This board rips!
Can't wait for the deep stuff to see how it swims, but this board is so much fun this Spring. Pop, edge hold, snaps, playful, I've had so much fun on this board the last couple of days. So stoked

Maintains the status Quo
As with any Orca I have owned, rides great and eats what you throw at it, with a bonus of looking amazing!

Great snowboard for Japow!
Hi everyone, I'm 6 ft, 79 kgs, Orca is 156. I really enjoyed riding Orca in Hakuba! It is very maneuverable, just what you need between trees. As soon as you shift the bindings far back, it starts floating, the same feeling as riding a long surfboard. If it is icy on groomed tracks, shift the bindings all the way to the front, and the edges start to grip. I would probably change one thing - extend the edge to the frontal part as well, as it is quite gentle there. I am now looking into buying a split board from you, guys. Thanks for a good product!

It's just a board
Rider: 6'5" (159cm) 170lbs. I bought this due to the hype. It' nothing special, yeah sure in the deep ass powder it floats. But other than that it's just another shifted board. If you know how to ride, this board is not worth the money unless you are going STEEP and DEEP. Otherwise it's just going to be slow and washy on the tail. Don't get me wrong, its fun, great construction and what not. But it's nothing special. Save the money and get something more versatile.
