I got the late release 156 with Gnu, Freedom bindings. This thing floats like no other in the pow and can handle groomers at speed, very stable. Great feel from edge to edge on hard pack, carves very nice. Awesome all mountain board! GOOD JOB MERVIN!!!

Hi Guff, love the reviews. How would you compare the Orca to the Rossignol Xv Magtek? I seen your reviews of the Rossi before and I know you’re a fan. I’ve ridden the Rossignol and I loved how stiff it was but didn’t like how it was super nimble to turn in tight spaces. I’m tossing up between the 2 boards, I’m 6’ and 195 pounds. Which board and size would you recommend? Thanks

Thanks for the review! I am interested in this board. What size would you recommend? I am 6'25, 195lbs and size 10.5 boot.

Just ordered the 147cm Orca and pairing it with Union Stratas with a size 10.5 boot standing at 5"10 160lbs. I'm so stoked to see what this board will do for me!!!

I prefer the orca it handles great on groomers and definitely in pow. With the warping I find it a bit plankish and not as nimble as the orca.. just my opinion..

I mean, the Climax is made up of carbon in the tips, makes it very light, and also pricey. It has a very strong core make-up. I think these two boards are pretty hard to compare, the Orca is a classic, really.

How does this compare to the Gnu Hyperkyarve. Seem almost identical as far as specs. I think set back is more on Orca but how do they compare riding?
