Travis Rice Pro HP Blunt 2020
Product not eligible for returnThe T-Rice Pro HP from Lib Tech is a men's freestyle/freeride snowboard for experienced riders.
Unique among its kind, the T-Rice is a weapon of mass destruction in the image of its creator. With a pedigree as long as his arm, Travis Rice has performed his biggest sessions with the T-Rice at his feet. And when we say "session" we're talking about his gold medal at the X-Games, the shooting of the films The Art Of Flight, The Fourth Phase, etc. Do you see what we're getting at?
The T-Rice is an all-mountain snowboard, but also, and above all, an all-style one: pow, park, pipe, rails, hard snow, etc. it does the lot. A true jewel to place at the feet of experienced riders. This board was developed by Travis Rice to ride hard, whatever the slope.
The basalt fibre embedded into the fibreglass gives the T-Rice good torsional rigidity. With a C2 camber, the T-Rice will let you float on powder as never before! The Horse Power core will allow you to let loose the horses when you want to attack but also to ride more smoothly at the end of the day after you've made good use of your new T-Rice.
Its construction is Eco-friendly with its bioplastic topsheet, this board has been designed and hand-made in Jackson Hole, Travis' favourite spot. This board is in Travis' image, and will let you push its limits with no constraints.

Camber:
C2 (Hybrid Camber): The C2 consists of a rocker between the supports and camber under each binding. The tips also have rockers. The most versatile camber in the Lib Tech range, the C2 brings control, precision and buoyancy.
Shape
Directional Twin: a symmetrical board that allows for easy gliding whether you are riding switch or regular. Ideal for riding freestyle and for snowboarders who want to curve in all directions.
Core:
Horse Power: a wooden core from plantations close to the Lib Tech factory. Aspen Poplar 60%, Paulownia 40% to lighten the core.
UHMW Tip/Tail Impact Deflection: the nose and tail of the board are in UHMW polyethylene and not wood. Why? In the event of embedding after an impact, no water will enter your core and so your board will last longer.
Birch Internal Sidewall: The wood along the edges is birch.
UHMW Sintered Sidewall: the sidewalls are in UHMW (a sort of elastomer) and not in polluting ABS.
Fibreglass:
Bio Beans : Bioplastic topsheet!
Tri-ax/Bi-Ax Fiber with Basalt: biaxial and triaxial fibreglass and basalt to add torsional power.
Base:
Eco Sublimated Sintered : ultra-fast Sintered base.
Edges:
Magne Traction: The edges of Lib Tech boards are in two parts, rather than a single one. The edges are independent of each other and when you dent or tear the edge, it will be easier to repair.
