Lib Tech T. Rice Apex Orca vs Never Summer Swift

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. Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff). At $699.99 vs $1299.99 MSRP, the Never Summer Swift is the more budget-friendly option.
