K2 Instrument vs Lib Tech T. Rice Orca - Blem

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 (rocker/camber) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The K2 Instrument is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The K2 Instrument targets advanced riders while the Lib Tech T. Rice Orca - Blem is aimed at expert riders.
