Arbor Satori vs Lib Tech T. Rice Apex 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 Satori has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Lib Tech T. Rice Apex Orca uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Lib Tech T. Rice Apex Orca is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Arbor Satori targets expert riders while the Lib Tech T. Rice Apex Orca is aimed at advanced riders. At $599.95 vs $1299.99 MSRP, the Arbor Satori is the more budget-friendly option.
