CORK Cork is a bark that’s harvested every nine years off cork oaks without harm. It’s been used for thousands of years as a valuable renewable resource. Cork is an amazing insulator that dampens road vibration, while providing the right grip for barefoot skating.

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.

PHOTOGRAPHY Arbor has built a deep collective of artists over the years that sometimes overshadow the photographers and videographers that we work so closely with. Artists in their own right, these individuals are important contributors to the vision of the brand. The new photo series was created to acknowledge the art of the captured image and the individuals behind the lens, utilizing themes central to the Arbor Collective.

KODY NOBLE Kody Noble can skate anything – street, park, pool, and any hill he finds himself on. Over the years his wide ranging abilities have blended into a hybrid style that we designed the new Shakedown series around. Don’t miss Kody in our “Noble Shreds” video series to see how he blends speed, park level style, and urban tricks into what just might be skating next leap forward.

SHAWN MCKINNEY Shawn McKinney’s use of Americana reflects an inherent need for freedom. His blending of these themes with portrayals of decaying Western icons highlights the strange hybridized world we live in. Shawn worked closely with Kody Noble to create art for the new Shakedown series that complements the hybrid style of urban-downhill skating that Kody is helping to create.

The best all-around reverse-kingpin truck on the market - delivers excellent cruise and carveoriented performance.

PARIS SIZES: 180mm COLORS: Black/Black

GULLWING SIDEWINDER The best freeride-oriented, reverse-kingpin truck on the market - great for higher speed performance.

SIZES: 9.0" COLORS: Silver

Gullwing’s own super responsive Sidewinder truck features two stacked hangers for superior carveability.

GULLWING CHARGER II

GULLWING SHADOW DLX

SIZES: 10.0" COLORS: Silver

SIZES: 8.0", 8.5", 9.0" COLORS: Silver

The updated version of Gullwing’s original Charger, and their answer to the demand for a high performance longboarding and downhill truck. It features reverse kingpin geometry, high quality 90a bushings, and has no rake in the hanger.

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.

GULLWING PRO III SIZES: 8.75" COLORS: Silver, Neon Orange, Neon Green, Neon Pink

Brought back from the dead by popular demand, the Pro III is a reissue of one of the 80’s best and most defining truck models. It’s a conventional geometry truck with a bent pivot that makes it extra turny.

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 lighter weight performance and traction. A rounded edge delivers catch free riding while skating.

FREERIDE SERIES SIZES: 72mm, 78a Durometer

COLORS: Green, Red, White , Black, Blue

A lipped wheel that provides excellent carve, downhill, slide, and urban commute performance. The Freeride Series is ideal for managing your speed, drifting, or any kind of high-powered turning. The offset hub offers the right balance between grip and slip, a wide contact patch for traction, and a sharp, flexible inner and outer lip that allow the wheel to conform to the road.

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 for the smaller board. Don’t let the size fool you, these wheels are great for not only getting around town but also offer enough grip for shredding tight turns.

1/8" RISERS

STAINLESS STEEL BOLTS

ABEC 7 STAINLESS STEEL BEARINGS

Arbor’s new 1/8" risers are made from recycled plastic. They are designed to give you just the right amount of height to take your ride up a notch and provide more leverage over your trucks while alleviating the problem of wheelbite.

Arbor’s new stainless steel hardware is designed to provide long lasting, corrosion proof performance for all season skating. Each pack includes 8 Phillips bolts and Nylock nuts. Bolts come in 1", 1.5", and 2".

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.
