RBOR WAS FOUNDED IN 1995 TO CREATE PERFORMANCE DRIVEN SNOWBOARDS IN THE MOST RESPONSIBLE WAY POSSIBLE. TIME SPENT RIDING PROVIDED THE MOTIVATION - PROTECTING THIS PLANET IS ABOUT SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT
THAT WE ENJOY EVERY WINTER.
TO THAT END, ARBOR REPLACES AS MANY ENVIRONMENTALLY HARMFUL MATERIALS AS
POSSIBLE WITH FUNCTIONAL, ECOLOGICALLY BASED ALTERNATIVES. WE DO THIS ACROSS
100% OF OUR LINE. THE MISSION IS TO DELIVER QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE WITH
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.
HAVING SAID THAT, ARBOR’S NOT ABOUT BEING “GREEN” JUST FOR THE SAKE OF
BEING GREEN. WITH FIFTEEN YEARS OF SUSTAINABLE DESIGN EXPERIENCE UNDER OUR
BELTS, WE’RE SURE ABOUT ONE THING - OUR CUSTOMERS EXPECT PERFORMANCE AND
RELEVANCE, EVEN WHEN CHOOSING A MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE.
TO THAT END, WE COMBINE THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY AND MOST POWERFUL ART WITH
THOSE ECO-MATERIALS THAT ACTUALLY ALLOW US TO DELIVER BETTER PERFORMING
PRODUCTS. FORM STILL FOLLOWS FUNCTION…
TODAY, ARBOR IS A COLLECTIVE OF ARTISTS, DESIGNERS, ATHLETES, AND FRIENDS
THAT RIDE - A GROWING CREW THAT REMAINS FOCUSED ON BLENDING ART, DESIGN,
AND SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS INTO THE MOST SUCCESSFUL LINE OF RIDER-ORIENTED
PRODUCTS AVAILABLE. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THE NEW LINE.

AN UNBLENDED TRI-RADIAL SIDECUT DESIGN THAT CREATES FOUR ADDITIONAL CONTACT POINTS UNDER YOUR FEET FOR SIGNIFIGANTLY IMPROVED, MORE
DIRECT EDGE CONTROL. GRIP-TECH COUNTERS THE EFFECT OF ROCKERING (DE-CAMBERING) WHICH, IF NOT ADDRESSED, CAN MAKE A BOARD DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. GRIP-TECH ADDS THIS PERFORMANCE IN A SIMPLE, MORE BALANCED MANNER THAT MAINTAINS THE ROCKER BENEFITS OF EASIER TURNING, SPINS,
SLIDES, PRESSES, AND BUTTERS. IN ADDITION, IT MAKES THE BOARD EASIER TO FLAT BOARD TRACK ACROSS HARDER PACKED SNOW. THE PLACEMENT OF
THE NEW CONTACT POINTS UNDERFOOT ALSO ALLOWS RIDERS WITH LARGER FEET (UP TO US MEN’S SIZE 12.5) TO RIDE STANDARD WIDTH DESIGNS.
A FUSION OF INTERDEPENDENT TECHNOLOGIES THAT SUPPORT
SUCCESSFUL ROCKER PERFORMANCE.
MAKE NO MISTAKE, ROCKER REPRESENTS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT APPROACH TO
SNOWBOARD DESIGN. IT REQUIRES A TOTAL RETHINK OF LONG HELD IDEAS OF HOW FLEX,
MATERIALS, AND SHAPE INTERACT AND AFFECT PERFORMANCE. IN RESPONSE, ARBOR
DEVELOPED THE SYSTEM TO ADDRESS THE NEW PHYSICS OF RIDING ROCKER. IN OUR
OPINION, THE AWARD WINNING “SYSTEM” HAS PROVEN ITSELF TO BE THE BEST ROCKER
DESIGN YET OFFERED. AS A RESULT, WE’VE EXPANDED OUR OFFERING TO 6 MODELS
ACROSS THREE DISTINCT TECHNOLOGY COMBINATIONS.
A ROCKER PROFILE BASED ON A STRETCHED PARABOLIC ARC THAT FURTHER IMPROVES EDGE CONTROL, WHILE MAINTAINING A UNIFORM RUNNING SURFACE FROM NOSE TO TAIL.
GRIP-TECH | PARABOLIC ROCKER | ROCKER FLEX | POWER SPINE | TRUE-TWIN
ROBUSTO TIPS | SUMO STANCE | BRONZE EDGES
ROCKER FLEX
A ROCKER SPECIFIC FLEX PATTERN DESIGNED TO ADDRESS HOW RIDERS EXPERIENCE BOARD
FLEX WHEN SHREDDING A DE-CAMBERED DESIGN.
POWER SPINE
GRIP-TECH | PARABOLIC ROCKER | ROCKER FLEX | POWER PLY
TRUE-TWIN | CORONA TIPS | SUMO- BELLA STANCE | STEEL EDGES
A STRUCTURAL TAPERED SPINE OF WOOD THAT COUNTERS THE EFFECT OF DE-CAMBERING BY
RE-BUILDING BOARD POP, WHILE MAINTAINING THE MAXIMUM ROCKER BENEFIT OF EASIER
TURNING, SPINS, SLIDES, PRESSES, AND BUTTERS.
A WIDER, MORE DRAWN OUT DESIGN THAT MEETS THE NEEDS OF A ROCKER NOSE AND TAIL’S ROLE
AS PLATFORMS FOR PRESSES AND BUTTERS, WITH THE MOST AMOUNT OF ADDED NOSE LENGTH FOR
RIDING THE DEEPEST POWDER.
BRONZE EDGES
SOFTER EDGES THAT DELIVER LESS CATCHY PERFORMANCE ON RAILS, BOXES, AND JIBS; BALANCES THE
ACTIVE EDGE PERFORMANCE CREATED BY THE PARABOLIC ROCKER AND GRIP TECH DESIGNS.
POWER PLY
STEEL EDGES
TRUE-TWIN
STANCES
A STRUCTURAL PLY OF WOOD OR BAMBOO THAT COUNTERS THE EFFECT OF DE-CAMBERING BY
SIGNIFIGANTLY IMPROVING RETURN, WHILE MAINTAINING THE ROCKER BENEFITS OF EASIER
TURNING, SPINS, SLIDES, PRESSES, AND BUTTERS. (NOTE: NO POWER PLY ON FORMULA)
A TWIN-TIP SHAPE THAT ENCOURAGES RIDERS TO EQUALIZE THEIR STANCE AND MORE EFFECTIVELY ACTIVATE THE GRIP-TECH CONTACT POINTS AND STREET ROCKER DESIGN.

EFFECTIVELY ACTIVATE THE GRIP-TECH CONTACT POINTS AND STREET ROCKER DESIGN, WITH
SOME ADDED NOSE FOR RIDING DEEPER SNOW.
ROBUSTO TIPS

AND TAIL’S MORE SPECIALIZED ROLE AS PLATFORMS FOR PRESSES AND BUTTERS.
CORONA-TIPS
A WIDER, SLIGHTLY LESS BLUNT SHAPE AND FLAT KICK DESIGN THAT MEETS THE NEEDS OF
A ROCKER NOSE AND TAIL’S ROLE AS PLATFORMS FOR PRESSES AND BUTTERS, WITH SOME
ADDED NOSE LENGTH FOR RIDING DEEPER SNOW.
HARDER STEEL EDGES THAT ADD TO THE ACTIVE EDGE PERFORMANCE CREATED BY THE PARABOLIC
ROCKER AND GRIP TECH DESIGNS; HELPS FURTHER IMPROVE EDGE CONTROL FOR ON MOUNTAIN
ROCKER SHREDDING.
SUMO-STANCE | MAX: 25.2”/64CM
AN INSERT DESIGN THAT DELIVERS INCREASED STANCE RANGE, ALLOWING RIDERS TO ACCESS SMALLER
BOARDS AND MAINTAIN STREET AND PARK ORIENTED ROCKER-PERFORMANCE.
BELLA-STANCE| MAX: 23.1”/59CM
A WOMEN’S SPECIFIC INSERT DESIGN THAT DELIVERS INCREASED STANCE RANGE, ALLOWING RIDERS TO
ACCESS SMALLER BOARDS FOR PARK ORIENTED ROCKER-PERFORMANCE.

TOPSHEETS
BIO-FILM
IN OUR OPINION, THE WIDELY USED SNOWBOARD CLASSIFICATIONS OF FREERIDE AND FREESTYLE ARE INEFFECTIVE.
THE FACT THAT A PIPE BOARD AND A JIB BOARD GET LUMPED INTO THE FREESTYLE CATEGORY, WHEN THEY ARE
DESIGNED FOR VERY DIFFERENT TERRAIN, IS ONE EXAMPLE OF HOW OUTDATED THE CURRENT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM IS.
TO THAT END, ARBOR USES A BOARD MAPPING SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS YOU TO IDENTIFY THE RIGHT BOARD BY THE
TERRAIN YOU WANT TO RIDE.
EVERY BOARD IN THE ARBOR LINE IS NOW BUILT WITH AN ULTRA THIN PROTECTIVE TOP FOIL MADE USING
30% CASTER BEAN BASED BIO-PLASTIC. THIS TOP SHEET PROTECTS THE BOARD FROM DAMAGE CAUSED BY
LOOSE BINDINGS, OUT-OF-CONTROL SKIERS, OR OTHER UNFORESEEN IMPACTS. ITS NATURAL GLOSSY NATURE
ALSO ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY HARMFUL CLEAR COATS.
POWER PLYS
ARBOR’S WOOD AND BAMBOO POWER PLYS WORK LIKE A THIRD LAYER OF FIBERGLASS - DURING CONSTRUCTION RESIN LOCKS THE DENSE NATURAL FIBERS IN PLACE, CREATING A COMPOSITE LAYER THAT STRUCTURALLY ENHANCES A BOARD FOR ADDED RETURN AND IMPROVED DURABILITY, WHILE ALLOWING FOR
IMPORTANT WEIGHT REDUCTION. THE POWER PLY TECHNOLOGY ALLOWS ARBOR TO REDUCE OUR OVERALL
RELIANCE ON CHEMICALLY TREATED FIBERGLASS AND PETROLEUM-BASED RESIN BY UP TO 20%.

AND PROVIDES 60% MORE RETURN THAN TRADITIONAL CORE MATERIALS. BAMBOO’S TENSILE
STRENGTH AND WEIGHT-TO-STRENGTH RATIO ARE SUPERIOR TO STEEL; YET BAMBOO IS LIGHT,
FLEXIBLE, AND RESISTANT TO COMPRESSION.
