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.

WOOD POWER PLY | FUSION BASE | MISSION CORE | BELLA STANCE ARTIST: RUSS MILLS

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.

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%.

• WOOD POWER PLY

PRODUCED USING A RANGE OF SUSTAINABLY SOURCED, NATURAL WOOD VENEERS. THE VARIANCE OF REAL WOOD GRAIN CREATES A ONE-OF-A-KIND LOOK ON EACH BOARD MADE WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY.

• BAMBOO POWER PLY

CODA | PUSH MADE FROM BAMBOO, WHICH IS THE MOST RENEWABLE, SUSTAINABLY GROWN BUILDING MATERIAL AVAILABLE TODAY. BAMBOO ALSO DELIVERS THAT CLEAN, ZEN FLAVOR.

POWER SPINE

DRAFT ARBOR’S SUSTAINABLY SOURCED, INLAID WOOD POWER SPINE WORKS LIKE CARBON FIBER - TUNING THE BOARD TO IMPROVE RETURN IN TARGET ZONES WITHIN THE FLEX PATTERN. THE POWER SPINE IS ONE OF THE SYSTEM SET OF TECHNOLOGIES. PLEASE REFER TO “THE SYSTEM” SECTION FOR MORE DETAILS.
