DESCRIPTION

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 maximising 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!

Board size:

Orca 150: I’ll sometimes go tight carving resort on this board although this is pretty small for me. Fun Small, still enough waist width.

Orca 153: This is the main size I ride for resort and steep back country and technical steep trees, pillows and spines. My favorite resort Carver and what I use for Natural Selection events.

Orca 156: I ride this board on deep days in back country, along with resort pow days. I ride my boards a hair smaller than I think most people should ride them.

Orca 159: I ride this board when there is deep pow and I’m not riding very steep terrain.

Orca 162: I’ll ride this on extreme deep and light snow and not very steep
