100% Solar Power - Arbor Snowboard’s long-standing manufacturing partnership with SWS Board Technology is one of the key components of the brand’s ability to deliver on our founding mission to focus on sustainability. SWS's commitment to mindfully crafting snowboards goes well beyond today’s quality and sustainability standards. Their efforts allow Arbor to offer meaningful progression, year-in and year-out, towards reducing the impact that snowboard production has on the planet. All Arbor Snowboards are produced with 100% Solar Energy.
2x4 10 Pack Inserts - Provide a wide stance range, while at the same time delivering critical micro adjustability.
3-Year Warranty - We stand behind the quality and construction of every Arbor snowboard with an extended 3-Year Warranty. For more information on our warranty policy, visit https://www.arborcollective.com/us/warranty
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.
Extruded Base - A tough, user–friendly extruded base that delivers ease of repair.
Factory Tuned - We detune the tip and tail contact points on all of our snowboards for a catch-free ride before they leave the factory.
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.
Tech Talk
Grip Tech - creates added heel and toe contact points that dramatically improve edge control on snow and ice. The design creates a more ergonomic and direct connection to the snow for substantially improved handling and response time. The added contact points make it possible for Arbor to offer Rocker designs that hold an amazing edge, and Camber designs that provide cleaner edge performance.
GRIP TECH 1.25 mm - 1.25 mm Grip Tech for the extra edge control on the resort and in mixed conditions.
Parabolic Profil - Parabolic profiling is Arbor’s advanced shaping technique that replaces the single-radius arc of traditional camber or rocker with a blended five-radius design. This parabolic arc gradually reduces rocker or camber toward the tip and tail. On rocker shapes, it lowers the leading edge for better edge hold. On camber shapes, it softens the leadingedge for smoother performance. When combined in an intersecting design - such as Arbor’s dual-parabolic builds - these opposing forces work together to create seamless transitions with powerful, precise control.
System Camber - Our System Camber shapes are for riders who want: a highly responsive ride, crisp on-edge performance, and more pop for; carving and ollies; effortless true-camber performance across all types of snow, and during turns, spin, and landings
THE SYSTEM shaping philosophy underpins the design of every snowboard in our line. It allows us to create advanced true-rocker and true-camber designs. As a result, we preserve all of the inherent riding benefits of these proven platforms by avoiding hybridization. Two distinct technologies make this possible: GRIP TECH + PARABOLIC PROFILING
Material
Bio-Resin - All Arbor snowboards are made with Bio-Resin, a replacement for traditional petroleum-based resin. 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.
Highland Core - Our most versatile core, constructed with a 1:2 blend of poplar and paulownia, for super light weight performance, durability, and return.
Paulownia - Sustainable, fast growing, farm grown, and highly renewable, used to reduce board weight without sacrificing tensile strength.
Poplar - Sustainable, farm raised, fast growing, and highly renewable, the backbone of all Arbor cores, light and durable, proven.
Recycled ABS - When a non-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.
Recycled Steel Edges - Our highly durable, recycled steed edges embody two of Arbor’s key values: quality and sustainability.
Wend Natural Wax - Factory-waxed with Wend Natural Wax, all Arbor snowboards are ready to ride out of the box.
