2027 Orca II Snowboard

Not your average fish. Travis Rice took the original Orca concept and turned it into a full-blown all-terrain predator built to slash, carve, and dominate resort terrain. A long, floaty nose pairs with a powerful, poppy contact length and short-radius Whale Tail Technology to create explosive turning power and control.

The tight 7 m sidecut bites deep into hardpack, while the wider platform lets you lay it over without toe drag and float effortlessly through pillows and soft snow. Despite its width, the Orca II stays agile enough to be a true daily driver—whether you’re carving trenches at home, dropping pillows in the backcountry, or heading north for bigger lines.

This latest version features an eco-sublimated, ocean-bound PBT topsheet made from recycled PET plastic collected from coastal areas. Inside, a strong and lively Makah Hemlock core—sustainably harvested by the Makah Tribe in the northwestern United States near Mervin’s factory—adds snap, durability, and responsiveness.

Travis Rice and Mervin Manufacturing donate a portion of every Orca snowboard sold to the Orca Conservancy, supporting their work to protect the endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales of the Salish Sea.

Award-winning performance, built with purpose.
