This is the 159cm Apex Orca II, Lib Tech’s all-mountain board, in the men’s fit. Mervin lists it with: Travis’ Dream Directional Pillow Slayer In Dreamy Techno Pop Carbon; Performance Resort Ripping To Heli Drops; Light Weight Anti Matter 3-D Floaty Nose Power Camber Fish Tail.
Length is the first thing to get right on a snowboard – it is matched to rider weight and boot size, not to height alone, and a board cut at 159cm rides differently from the same model two sizes up. Mervin also notes: Lighter, Environmentally Nicer, Liveliest. Check the size chart against your own weight before ordering.
Lib Tech and GNU are both Mervin Manufacturing brands. Mervin has been building snowboards since the 1970s and runs a zero-hazardous-waste production process it has made central to how it operates.
