Directional Twin
From contact point to contact point the nose and tail are mirrored from the center of the board in both shape and flex, but the nose is a little longer past the contact point to offer better weight distribution in softer snow. Twins of any kind allow you to ride in either direction a little easier. Ideal for freestyle minded riding and perfect for anyone, beginners included, to dial in riding switch for all mountain dominance.
System Rocker (Parabolic Rocker)
Arbor use a unique shaping technique that replaces the single radius arc found in traditional rocker, with a more advanced parabolic profile. The design blends five separate radii to create a parabolic arc, which gradually reduces the amount of rocker toward the tip and tail. In our System Rocker shapes, the design lowers the leading edge to improve edge hold. The System Rocker shapes are for riders who want a surfy ride with natural float, cleaner tracking across the snow, and more care-free turns and spins. Best in class true-rocker edge hold in the steeps, at higher speeds, and through any landing.
Skill Level
The beginner plus to intermediate rider who is mastering the blue runs and starting to explore more of what the mountain has to offer. The System Rocker is ideal for the rider who wants a looser or surfier feel in their turns.
Flex Rating
The flex rating of 5/10 is just what you think it is. Not too stiff, not too soft. Capable, but easy and fun.
Grip Tech
A tri–radial sidecut design that is not blended. Natural shaping intersections, that in the past were eliminated, have been transformed into heel and toe contact points that provide a direct and more ergonomic way to grip the snow when additional control is needed.
Hand Dyed Ash Powerply
The wood Powerply is a natural topsheet and is what makes an Arbor snowboard ride like an Arbor snowboard. Bringing the board to life with the natural spring and liveliness of the specific woods used. The ash Powerply is also notable for it's ability to be hand dyed making the Arbor snowboards look like the Arbor snowboards we all love.
Mixed Glassing
A combination of a triax weave and a biax weave lay–up, providing flex where you want it with snap and stability where you need it.
360° Fully Wrapped Sidewalls
Fully wrapped sidewall that eliminates the need for tip fill, while effectively tying the whole snowboard together. A technology that delivers incredibly tight tolerances for improved board life and durability.
