Lib Tech T. Rice Orca vs Never Summer Proto FR DF

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freeride terrain, while the Lib Tech T. Rice Orca leans more powder. 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 Never Summer Proto FR DF is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
