This is an all-terrain directional powder board designed for advanced to expert riders taking on big-mountain lines. With a slight taper and a pronounced camber profile, you'll have tons of control and power underfoot. You can see Arbor's new Caron Vector Net blended with an Inlaid Powerply stringer in the Bio-Plastic topsheet which helps the board be just as responsive from tip to tail, and, edge to edge. And this epic graphic . . . yea it's from the man himself, Bryan Iguchi!

The System: Parabolic Camber - Arbor Camber System is a true camber design that progressively reduces the amount of camber from a lower center point out to softened tip and tail transitions for improved snow dynamics. The design offers a buttery ride, while maintaining the pop of real camber.
FSC Certified Highland II Core - A newly developed screening process has allowed Arbor to hand-select the very lightest and highest quality Paulownia from their sourcing partners. The result is a lighter, more responsive version of the original Highland Core known for highly reliable return and long-lasting durability.
Cross Vector Netting - Creates evenly distributed torsional power and accelerated response from tip to tail.
Mixed Glassing - A triax over biax layup that's best for versatility: pow, backcountry, groomers, jumps and more.
Sintered Base - A higher molecular weight, wax-infused sintered base that provides unmatched durability and speed.
Knucklehead Tip Profile - Peak to parking lot with extra punch for powder
360° Full Wrap Sidewalls - An advanced blend of ABS and urethane; deliver durability and a clean, acoustically damp ride.
Recycled Steel Edges - Built with hardened steel edges made using 60% recycled steel; provides maximum edge performance.
Bio Plastic Topsheet - One of the materials Arbor uses in their quest to eliminate harmful petroleum-based plastics from their production cycle. Made from CastorBean Oil, this eco-topsheet is extremely durable and water repellent.
Inlaid Powerply Stringer - A specialized and highly intricate die-cutting process allows Arbor to combine the natural grain of multiple species of wood into a singular, sophisticated Powerply topsheet.
2x4 14-Pack Inserts - Provides a wide stance range and micro-adjustability - max stance 24.4" / 62cm.
Entropy Bio Resin - The ingredients 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).
Factory Tuned - Arbor detunes the tip and tail contact points on all snowboards for a catch-free ride before they leave the factory.
Wend Natural Wax - All Arbor Snowboards hit the shop floor ready to ride with Wend Natural Wax.
Arbor Sustainability - Arbor practices improving sustainable manufacturing. They work with FSC wood and bamboo materials, use solar power for 100% of their production line, focus on the most sustainable/recycled components and donate a portion of every sale to forest restoration projects.
3 Year Warranty - Covered under manufacturer warranty for 3 years from the time of purchase! Warranty includes structural defects only and DOES NOT cover impact damage, abuse, misuse or normal wear and tear expected from aggressive riding.
Sorry folks, but bashing your board on a rock or rail does not qualify as a "manufacturer's defect" and will not be honored.
