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 12 Pack Inserts - Provide a wide stance range, while at the same time delivering critical micro adjustability.
Taper - Tail is 3,00 cm narrower than the Nose.
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
DownSize - We suggest you downsize 3-5 cm from your preferred board length.
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.
Mixed Glassing - A triax over biax lay–up that’s best for versatility: pow, backcountry, groomers, jumps, and more.
Sintered Base - A higher molecular weight, sintered base that provides added durability and speed.
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.
POW Fenders - 3D PFD - Full lift of the outside contact points towards the nose - Deep Snow Performance, Maximum Float
System Rocker - Our 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.
Taper - A shaping technique that narrows the profile of the snowboard towards the rear contact points. Tapered snowboards will have a wider nose and narrower tail, allowing the tail of the board to sink in deeper snow creating natural float and cleaner tracking.
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.
Bio-Plastic Topsheet: Used in an ongoing effort to eliminate harmful petroleum-based plastics, this Castor Bean ecotopsheet is extremely durable and water repellent. Sustainably sourced
Handdyed Ash Powerply - Sustainably harvested, majority coming from borer-kill trees, off-white to light brown, the canvas forArbor's hand-dyed designs.
Highland II Core - A 10/20 poplar paulownia from our sourcing partners. The result is a lighter, more responsive version of our Highland Core known for highly reliable return and long-lasting durability.
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.
