Arbor's Shaping Ethos

Grip Tech + Parabolic Profiling

The system shaping philosophy underpins the design of every snowboard in our line. It allows us to create advanced true-rocker and true-camber designs. As a result we preserve all of the inherent riding benefits of these proven platforms by avoiding hybridization. Two distinct technologies make this possible:

Parabolic Profiling

We use a unique shaping technique that replaces the 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 our System Rocker shapes the design lowers the leading edge to improve edge hold. In our System Camber shapes the design makes the leading edge less aggressive for smoother performance. The blended five radii design also drastically improves our ability to tune each shape in our line for ability level, target terrain and riding style.

System Camber

Our System Camber shapes are for riders who want:

A highly responsive ride, crisp on-edge performance and more pop for carving and ollies
Effortless true-camber performance across all types of snow and during turns, spins and landings

The System X Baseplate

FOUND ON ALL ARBOR BINDINGS

A proprietary design that transfers rider input out to four heel-to-toe convergence zones, improving edge controls and response time.
A concave design allows a board to flex more seamlessly by reducing flat spots for improved edge performance.
When paired with an Arbor Snowboard, the System X design improves the activation of Arbor's Grip Tech contact points.
This unique binding / board interaction provides maximum performance at speed, in steeps, amd through any turn, carve or spin.

Fender Tech

The edge control created by Arbor's System platform allows us to add Fenders that slightly lift a board's leading edge off the snow. This dramatically improves turning, spins, float and tracking on cambered snowboards.

Unlike "early rise" or "rockered" nose/tail transition zone, Arbor's Fenders create smoother performance without shortening the camber section of the board. As a result, you get a clean ride without any loss of the pop or performance that comes from full-length camber. Today, we use Fenders on the majority of our System Camber designs.

This is the Board you have been Looking for and Dreaming of......I Guarantee It!!!!

"I am 6'3", 228 lbs., Size 14 boot, XL bindings, 25 inch stance, bindings at +15 and 0, I got the 170W. We all dream of finding that mythical snowboard that will instantly elevate us to the skillset and level we know we are capable of....THIS IS THAT BOARD. I own four other great snowboards, they each have a specific function, and I thoroughly enjoy them for what they were designed to do. The A-Frame was my latest acquisition, I just tried it for the first time two weeks ago, I started the trip warming up with my other boards, I waited until my third day on the mountain to give the A Frame a try, the first thought that came to mind after my first four turns on the board......"I was blind but now I see". The only way to describe it was an absolutely fluid and stable ride, it was as if I was standing almost motionless and the board was simply gliding under my body edge to edge with almost no effort at all. I have never felt so in control on a snowboard, all that anxiety was gone, I have never enjoyed and loved snowboarding as much as I did the first time I stepped on my A Frame. I decided to hit an icy steep blue run, I was able to actually bomb the run with minimal effort, what I did not expect was the astonishing amount of bite this board has. The instant I leaned in hard for a steep turn, the board locked in, it instantly went from a fluid and floaty board to the most controlled and stable deck I have ever ridden. GET THIS BOARD....YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!!"
