BAMBOO Bamboo is mankind’s most sustainable building material. It’s incredibly strong, yet flexible and easy to shape. By adding bamboo as a deck-side power ply, we create a hybrid maple construction that has a clean Zen flavor, nice return, and long lasting durability.
NANAMI COWDROY Born in Sydney, Nanami Cowdroy’s artistic roots reflect both her native Australian and mixed Japanese-European heritage. Nanami’s blend of complex characters and highly detailed objects create a juxtaposition of the foreign and familiar. Her subjects are organic, yet exude a strength and depth; the perfect combination for our bamboo designs.

TRUCKS
GULLWING CHARGER SIZES: 9.0" / 10.0" COLORS: Silver/Silver, Black/Black, White/Blue, Silver/Black, Black/Rasta
The best all-around reverse-kingpin truck on the market - delivers excellent cruise and carveoriented performance.
GULLWING SHADOW DLX
PARIS SIZES: 180mm COLORS: Black/Black
The best freeride-oriented, reverse-kingpin truck on the market - great for higher speed performance.
GLOVES
SIGNATURE SLIDE GLOVES Arbor’s Signature slide gloves were designed for lightweight performance and breathable comfort. Hemp cloth and neoprene offer comfort and mobility, while double stitching in critical areas improves durability. Gel tipped fingers improve grip when grabbing your rail, while the reflective logo adds visibility while riding in low light conditions.
SIZES: 8.0", 8.5", 9.0" COLORS: Silver
A new model from Gullwing, the Shadow DLX is a conventional geometry truck with a straight pivot. It’s made for destroying ledges, parks, and pools, and also gives you the classic skateboard feeling that we all grew up with.
WHEELS/COMPONENTS
WHEELS All Arbor wheels are made with an environmentally friendly sucrosebased bio-urethane formula that reduces Arbor’s reliance on harmful synthetic materials, while maintaining the highest level of performance.
STREET SERIES SIZES: 65mm / 70mm, 78a Durometer
COLORS: Green, Red, White , Black, Blue
A center-set wheel that’s ideal for versatile urban skating, with a mid-wide profile for light weight performance and improved roll speed. A rounded edge delivers catch free riding while commuting and sliding. Its centerset core means you can flip and ride them either way, giving the wheel an extended life.
FREERIDE SERIES SIZES: 72mm, 78a Durometer
COLORS: Green, Red, White , Black, Blue
A lipped wheel that provides excellent carve, downhill, drift, and urban commuting performance. The Freeride Series is the ideal choice for managing your speed on the slopes, drifting, or any high-powered turning. The offset hub offers the right balance between grip and slip, a wide contact patch for traction, and sharp flexible lips to allow the wheel to conform to the road for maximum hold.
HYBRID SERIES SIZES: 63mm, 78a Durometer
COLORS: Green, Red, White , Black, Blue
A slightly smaller lipped wheel designed to offer traction and excellent slide characteristics on a smaller board. Don’t let the size fool you, these wheels are great for not only getting around town but also provide enough grip for shredding tight turns.
1/8" & 1/4” RISERS Made from recycled plastic, Arbor risers are designed to allow you to fine tune your deck height for right clearance and leverage over your trucks. Available in 1/4” and 1/8”.
ABEC 7 STAINLESS STEEL BEARINGS Arbor’s ABEC 7 bearings are made with performance in mind. They feature double sided rubber shields for easy cleaning, a blended grease and oil lubricant for long lasting high speed performance, and highly polished stainless steel components for smoother, corrosion resistant all weather skating. Skate faster - roll longer.
ADDITIONAL MATERIALS WOOD: All of our wood material including the maple plies and wood veneers come from sustainable sources of supply. All wood by-product created during the production of our skateboards is reclaimed for use in other Arbor products or by outside companies.
LUCID GRIP: Lucid grip is made with long-lasting crushed recycled glass. This ultra clear re-grip surface allows the deck’s natural grain and color to remain highly visible, while providing better performance than silica bead alternatives.
WATER BASED FINISHES: All Arbor skateboards are produced using a water-based sanding sealer to avoid polluting the air we breathe, especially when skating.
RECYCLED PLASTIC RISERS: All Arbor completes are shipped with recycled plastic risers, which allows us to reduce our dependence on petroleum-based plastics, while helping the effort to stop the proliferation of plastic pollution.
