Mervin Manufacturing: Environmental Construction - Core material is sourced from fast-growing, renewable forest products. Cleaning uses water-based solvents rather than petrochemical-based solvents. All wood sawdust is recycled as soil additive, and scrap wood is donated to the local Mood Wood company, which packages it as firewood and resells it.
T. RICE GOLDEN ORCA
The Power Predator, winner of the Natural Selection competition, features a directional C2x shape with a long, floaty nose. The Power Kink tail is short, powerful, and poppy on hardpack, while the board lifts automatically with takeoffs and landings even when riding switch. The FP core and ultra-thin nose and tail reduce spin weight. Choose a size 1-3cm shorter than your usual board.

Travis Rice Choice : The 157 is my favorite board for resort and side country riding. It's essentially an Orca 153 with a redesigned tail, giving it a larger surface area for powder but also excelling in switch riding. This size is perfect for all-mountain resort riding.
