Features:

• Bio-Plastic Topsheet: One of the materials we use in our quest to eliminate harmful petroleum-based plastics from our production cycle. Made from Castor Bean Oil, this eco-topsheet is extremely durable and water repellent.
• Highland Core: Our most versatile core, constructed with a 1:2 blend of poplar and paulownia, for super lightweight performance, durability, and return.
• Biax Glassing: A biax over biax lay–up that’s designed for park and street inspired all-mountain riding. Also creates a good platform for learning.
• Recycled ABS Sidewall: When a plastic alternative is unavailable, as in the case of ABS sidewalls, we do our best to opt for a recycled material to improve the sustainability of our products.
• 360 Fully Wrapped Sidewalls: A 360–degree, 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.
  
• Recycled Steel Edges: Highly durable, recycled steed edges embody two of Arbor’s key values: quality and sustainability.
• Bio-Resin: All Powerplys and R.A.P. Topless Tech veneers will be made with Bio-Resin, a replacement for traditional petroleum based resin that doesn’t affect performance or usability. The ingredients that go into Bio-Resin are sourced as co-products or waste products of other industrial processes and are manufactured employing green chemistry techniques that reduce the carbon footprint of the material by up to 40% (when compared to its petroleum based equivalent).
• Factory Tuned: Arbor detuned the tip and tail contact points on all of their snowboards for a catch-free ride before they leave the factory.
• Wend Natural Wax: All Arbor snowboards hit the shop floor ready to ride with Wend Natural Wax.
• 2x4 10-Pack Inserts
• 3 year Warranty
• Manufactured with 100% Solar Energy

Profile: Reverse Camber/Rocker

Boards best for buttering and progression.

In a snowboard with rocker the centre of the board is the only true contact point. This makes turn initiation easier, so you're less likely to catch an edge. This profile also makes it easier to bend, making it great for buttering. The lifted nose and tail make floating in pow effortless.

This translates well for those looking to progress on rails and in the park as well.

Shape: Twin

A completely symmetrical shape, which thrives in a variety of freestyle situations. At the core of its design, the twin shape features an identical nose and tail shape, which provides an identical feel and predictable maneuverability whether riding regular or switch. Although originally developed with park riders in mind, twin shapes have also grown to be embraced by many all-mountain riders that like to bring a skateboard style riding out of the park and onto the entire mountain.

Flex: 4 (Scale 1 - 10)

Versatility at its finest. From the park to the peak and anywhere in between.

Base: Extruded

All of Arbor's die-cut bases feature our Zero Waste Base technology and come in interchangeable colourways. This process is essential to reducing carbon footprint and eliminating waste during the manufacturing process.
