• The Rocker System
  Arbor's System Rocker shapes are for riders who want: A surfy ride with natural float, cleaner tracking across the snow, and more care-free turns and spins. Best in class true-rocker edge hold in the steeps, at higher speeds, and through any landing.

• Parabolic Profiling
  Arbor uses a unique shaping technique that replaces single radius arc found in traditional camber or rocker, with a more advanced parabolic profile. The design blends five separate radii together to create a parabolic arc, which gradually reduces the amount of rocker or camber toward the tip and tail. In Arbors System Rocker shapes, the design lowers the leading edge to improve edge hold. In the System Camber shapes, the design makes the leading edge less aggressive for smoother performance. The blended five radii design also drastically improves the ability to tune each shape in line for ability level, target terrain, and riding style.

• Taper
  The widest point in the sidecut tapers in toward the tip earlier for less drag and hooking in powder. Swing weight is also reduced making the ski even more maneuverable in difficult snow.

• FSC Certified Higland III Core
  A 5 / 20 blend of Poplar and Paulownia for lighter weight and higher performance. The Highland III has the highest ratio of Paulownia to Poplar.

• Mixed Glassing
  A triax over biax lay–up that’s best for versatility: pow, backcountry, groomers, jumps, and more.

• Powerply Topsheet
  The Power Ply works like an added layer of fiberglass. During construction, the natural wood or bamboo fibers are turned into a composite layer inside the board, but the process takes time. They start with a log that must be soaked so that it can be sliced or “veneered” into sheets, which are then assembled into “faces”. The “faces” are then backed with a special fleece material, precision sanded, and pre laminated to a protective foil made in part from natural castor bean oil. The finished topsheet is at last ready to be built into a snowboard. In the end, the process makes Arbor Power Ply designs the most labor intensive snowboards on the market. The resulting performance, board life, finish quality, reduced reliance on man–made glues, coatings, and composites are worth the extra effort.
  
  
• Entropy Bio Resin
  All Powerplys and R.A.P. Topless Tech veneers are made with Entropy Bio-Resin, a replacement for traditional petroleum based resin that doesn’t affect performance or usability. The ingredients that go into Entropy Bio-Resin are sArbor’sced 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).

• Sintered base
  A higher molecular weight, sintered base that provides added durability and speed.
  
  
• Wend Natural Wax
  All boards are waxed and ready to use.

• 3D Terra Technology
  Terra Tech is a three-dimensional feature built directly into the nose of two of our latest designs. It reflects our most current thinking on performance in powder and mixed snow conditions. The 3D shape creates a slot, which works like a channel on a surfboard. It gives the snow that naturally builds up in front of your board, a way to quickly move under, and away from your nose. Ultimately, it reduces pressure and resistance for improved speed and performance in deeper snow.

• ABS (recycled) Sidewall
  Provides enhanced durability while keeping the core safe from moisture.When a plastic alternative is unavailable, as in the case of ABS sidewalls, Arbor has choosen for a recycled material to improve the sustainability of their products.
  
  

EDGES

• Griptech
  Grip tech is a tri–radial sidecut design that is not “blended.” Natural shaping intersections, that in the past were eliminated, have been transformed into heel and toe contact points that provide a direct, more ergonomic way to grip the snow when additional control is needed. The extra contacts also form pivot zones that make turning easier and more natural. Grip tech effectively moves a board’s primary interface with the snow underfoot, allowing us to deliver designs that don’t lose performance as we lift leading sections of the effective edge from the snow for a less grabby ride. Those designs include rocker, or camber with our new uprise fenders. Uprise fenders pull the outside contact zones off the snow with angled 3º risers on all camber system designs.
  
  
• Recycled Steel Edges
  Highly durable,recycled steel edges embody two of Arbor's key values: quality and sustainability.
  
  
• 360° Fully Wrapped Sidewalls
  A 360–degree, fully wrapped sidewall that eliminates the need for tip fill, while effectively tying the whole snowboard together. A technology that delivers incredibly tight tolerances for improved board life and durability.
  
  
• Factory Tuned
  Detuning of the tip and tail contact points on all snowboards for a catch-free ride before they leave the factory.
  
  

MOUNTING

• 2x4 Inserts
  Provide a wide stance range, while at the same time delivering critical micro adjustability.
  
  

• Grip Tech
  Grip Tech creates additional heel and toe contact points, drastically increasing edge grip on snow and ice.
