Lib Tech Apex Golden Orca vs Lib Tech Doughboy

How they compare

the Lib Tech Apex Golden Orca leans more all mountain, while the Lib Tech Doughboy leans more freeride. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Lib Tech Apex Golden Orca has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Lib Tech Doughboy uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Lib Tech Apex Golden Orca is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range.
