This is the 147cm Orca II, Lib Tech’s all-mountain board, in the men’s fit. Mervin lists it with: New Dream Shape, Ocean Bound Top Material, Makah Hemlock Core; Freeride Pow Ripper Meets Resort Slashing Daily Driver; Floaty Nose, TightSidecut, Maximum Power 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 147cm rides differently from the same model two sizes up. Mervin also notes: Lighter, Environmentally Nicer, Smoother. 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.
