GNU Banked Country C3 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. Both feature hybrid (camber/rocker) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The GNU Banked Country C3 is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $629.99 vs $699.99 MSRP, the GNU Banked Country C3 is the more budget-friendly option.
