ALL MOUNTAIN - DIRECTIONAL
Where on the mountain this snowboard is especially tuned to excel.
Beginner level snowboards are fun and approachable for all riders while an advanced snowboard is tuned for a particularly aggressive / athletic style of snowboarding.
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.

Best board I've ever ridden. Rides very sensitive to Back-leg or Power-Leg *(ultra responsive), solid Board capable of surviving rough riding. Floats my 225 Lbs body at 156 on 3 Feet of Powder, beautifully. Best board I think I've ever ridden (been riding since 2007, 70+ days a Season).
The season ended early because of the heat wave. Tahoe was melting! Last day of the lift at this fabulous resort formerly known as Squaw Creek. Saw folks navigating or sitting to scoot past gnarly terrain. Whoah! What I experienced on her debut outing was that the Apex Orca will transform slush, ice, and even mud into the most pleasant riding experience! I felt like the Silver Surfer! The Apex performed like the Apex she is! Cannot thank JoshS72 enough for the bespoke riding experience! Woohoo! https://youtube.com/shorts/JSahUTVc7pE?si=dcCMnIblhKpk2o5v
I own 2 boards a Capita Mega Mercury 158W & this board in 153. The Apex orca floats l like nothing i have experienced in knee to waist deep Japow days. It is my dedicated Pow board. Easy to turn in the deepest of pow & floats when the slopes mellow out while all ur friends are stuck. Best board for Japan tree runs. This board is super stiff & being a person with a shit knee & lower back from previous injuries. It can be tough on the body when the snow get chopped up & chundary. Doesn't absorb the bumps as well as the Mega mercury. Shouldn't be an issue for most people but if u are like me then might he a point to consider & maybe go with the normal orca. Having said that its a great board & fits well in my quiver.
This board is absolutely fantastic. When I first pulled it out of the box, I was mesmerized by the Jessia Lichtenstein art blended with the carbon inlay. Look it up - it's quite impressive! On the mountain this board truly rips! I got mine at the end of the 2024 season and started with some nasty icy conditions, then got a pow day, then finished in slushy Spring. I was thrilled how versatile the board is. Highly recommend!
This board is amazing. It carves like a knife and floats like a cloud. I can’t believe how it can hold an edge. After one day on this board I decided to sell my other boards and use this as my one board. It’s the quiver killer.
