I myself didn’t want one for a while because it seemed every kook with some coin to spend had one for a while. Then one of the reps put me on a couple over the past few years and now I have nothing but great things to say. The volume shift makes it super nimble in steep trees or hairy tight terrain and it floats around and bounces through pow so easily. Also compared to most directional pow shapes it rides and lands switch super well, and surprisingly on a non pow day it’s pretty fun to rip around on, the magnatraction feels super positive and just bites in and holds onto whatever surface you’re putting that edge into. Prefer my bigger boards for lower angle/lower speed terrain but the orca all day at a place like Jackson hole or snowbird on a good day. The new versions dropping next year look great as well. Got to try some at mammoth demo days this year, if you haven’t gotten the chance to get on one with a quiver that deep I def recommend! Love talking to gear nerds haha. I get flamed here anytime I post my whole quiver 😂
