T.RICE ORCA BOARD 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 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 3-6CM SHORTER THAN YOUR NORMAL BOARD.
Travis and Mervin will be donating a portion of the sale of each Orca snowboard to the www.orcaconservancy.org in support of their efforts to prevent the extinction of the Salish Sea’s Southern Resident Killer Whales. #betheirvoice

T.RICE ORCA RIDER INFO:
Travis Rice
Height: 5’11” Weight: 190lbs, Boot size 11
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 ~Travis Rice
T.RICE ORCA ARTIST INTERVIEW: JESSICA LICHTENSTEIN
Briefly describe your art background… and where does your law degree fit into it all:
I was always an artist, loved to paint as I was growing up. Learned basically from Bob Ross shows how to paint landscapes. So art was always something I had on the side. Went to law school, became a lawyer for a bit. And realized my heart was really in art. While i was working as a lawyer I approached a gallery, they had an opening for an art show in 3 weeks. I worked my ass off created some pieces and the show sold out in one month. I quit being a lawyer and have been a full time artist ever since.
