Arbor GPS vs Lib Tech T. Rice Orca

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freeride and powder riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Arbor GPS has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Lib Tech T. Rice Orca uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Arbor GPS is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $629.95 vs $699.99 MSRP, the Arbor GPS is the more budget-friendly option.
