In the ever-evolving world of snowboarding, where each season brings new shapes, profiles, and technology-laden promises, few boards manage to maintain relevance while consistently pushing the envelope. The 2025 Lib Tech T. Rice Pro Camber Snowboard stands not only as a testament to longevity and excellence but also as a vivid reflection of Travis Rice’s relentless pursuit of performance across all-mountain domains. Refined, powerful, and razor-sharp, this year’s iteration of the T. Rice Pro Camber doesn’t reinvent the wheel—it spins it faster, with more purpose, across powder, park, and steeps.
Legacy Refined: The T. Rice DNA
Named for and designed in collaboration with Travis Rice, the T. Rice Pro line has long been Lib Tech’s flagship for high-performance versatility. It’s the board that Rice rode in films like The Art of Flight and Depth Perception, and it continues to be his tool of choice for backcountry senders, natural terrain lovers, and precision park riders.
The 2025 T. Rice Pro Camber retains the core silhouette and aggressive attitude that made it a staple in expert quivers while dialing in the details for more speed, stability, and finesse. Lib Tech, as always, builds this board in their eco-minded, zero-waste factory in Washington State, using handcrafted materials and innovative construction techniques that merge sustainability with performance.
Profile and Flex: Aggressive, Responsive, Dialed
The standout feature of the 2025 model is its C3 Camber profile, Lib Tech’s most aggressive camber option. This configuration places mild rocker between the bindings, flanked by powerful camber zones underfoot, delivering a ride that blends locked-in carving control with enough float to handle varied terrain.
Unlike a full-camber board—which can feel punishing in powder or uneven terrain—the T. Rice Pro C3 strikes a confident balance:
- Edge control on hardpack is near surgical, with instant energy return.
- Pop and ollie power are explosive, thanks to that deep traditional camber feel.
- Powder performance remains reliable, with just enough central rocker to reduce nose-diving.
The medium-stiff flex (rated around 7/10) makes this board ideal for riders who charge hard and need a deck that holds its shape at high speed. It’s responsive and alive underfoot, requiring active riding, but rewards every committed turn, press, or jump with feedback and precision.
Shape and Sidecut: Directional Twin Versatility
True to the T. Rice ethos, this model features a directional twin shape—symmetrical in sidecut and flex but with a slightly longer nose for better float and control in deeper conditions. Whether you’re riding switch in the park or dropping cliffs in the sidecountry, the shape ensures stability, centered balance, and reliable edge transitions in both directions.
Lib Tech’s Magne-Traction® edge tech is back in full force for 2025. These wavy, serrated edges create multiple contact points that grip even the iciest slopes like a chainsaw through cordwood. This is a particularly valuable tool for riders in variable conditions—East Coast riders take note—as it turns sketchy ice patches into manageable terrain, giving you confidence to lay into carves even when snow quality isn’t ideal.
Construction: Eco-Tech Meets Power
Lib Tech prides itself on crafting snowboards that are not only high-performing but also environmentally conscious, and the T. Rice Pro 2025 is no exception. It’s built using the brand’s proprietary Horsepower (HP) construction, which is lighter, stronger, and greener than traditional snowboard builds.
Core
- Made from 60% aspen and 40% paulownia, the wood core balances strength and lightness while remaining durable over a long lifespan.
Laminates
- Bi-ax and tri-ax glass layers add torsional rigidity and rebound, crucial for responsive flex without dead spots.
- The eco-sublimated topsheet is lightweight, high-performance, and designed using water-based inks and bio-resins—no toxic lacquers or VOCs.
Base
- The sintered knife-cut base delivers excellent glide and durability, even across harsh spring conditions or exposed rocky terrain. It holds wax well and requires minimal maintenance while still outperforming extruded alternatives in speed tests.
Every layer is pressed with Lib Tech’s environment-first ethos—including their recycled UHMW sidewalls and zero hazardous waste manufacturing processes. It’s the rare board that both charges hard and treads light on the environment.
Performance Breakdown: From Park Laps to Big Lines
The 2025 T. Rice Pro Camber doesn’t demand a specific mountain—it owns the whole thing. Whether you’re threading tight trees, pointing down couloirs, or lapping a jump line, this board remains composed and responsive under pressure.
Freestyle
While not a jib board by nature, the T. Rice Pro shines on large features. Its pop off kickers is thunderous, and the landings are cushioned but responsive thanks to the camber’s energy return. Switch performance is solid, especially for a directional twin, and the edge control makes setting spins and holding high-speed takeoffs seamless.
All-Mountain
From steep groomers to mogul fields, this board feels confident underfoot. The C3 camber provides near-unshakable carving capability, especially when paired with the Magne-Traction. Whether you’re euro-carving on corduroy or navigating tracked-out crud, it locks in and holds direction like a blade.
Powder
The board’s subtle rocker and directional shape help keep it afloat in deep snow, especially in the 159 and 161.5 sizes. Riders looking for a surfier feel may lean toward Lib Tech’s Orca or Golden Orca, but the T. Rice Pro holds its own on storm days—particularly for riders who appreciate camber-powered float over loose surf.
Ideal Rider and Sizing Options
The T. Rice Pro Camber is built for intermediate to advanced riders who value precision, responsiveness, and versatility. This is not a beginner board—it requires technical engagement and rewards those who ride assertively. But for the rider who wants one board to ride park laps on Monday and summit ridgelines on Friday, this deck delivers.
Available sizes include:
- 153, 155, 157, 159, 161.5, and 164.5 cm
- Wide options are available for larger boot sizes
Smaller sizes cater well to freestyle-focused riders, while the longer lengths hold their own in big mountain terrain.
A Flagship Board for Riders Who Charge
The 2025 Lib Tech T. Rice Pro Camber Snowboard is a shining example of how performance and progress can evolve side by side. It’s aggressive, yet playful. Technical, yet intuitive. This is a board that respects tradition—namely, the camber shape and directional twin design—but continues to refine and modernize it through construction, tech, and eco-conscious ethos.
Riding this board is a bit like dropping into a line with Travis Rice himself narrating in your ear—every turn amplified, every jump boosted, every carve dialed in. For those who ride fast, push hard, and want a snowboard that mirrors their intent, the T. Rice Pro Camber is more than a tool—it’s an extension of their ambition.
Either you’re lacing bootpack ascents in the Tetons or sessioning your home mountain park, this board doesn’t just show up—it commands terrain, earns lines, and leaves a trail of vapor and style in its wake.
