    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:

    Grip Tech

    Grip Tech creates added heel and toe contact points that dramatically improve edge control on snow and ice. The design creates a more ergonomic and direct connection to the snow for substantially improved handling and response time. The Added contact points make it possible for Arbor to offer Rocker designs that hold an amazing edge and Camber designs that provide cleaner edge performance.

    Arbor System Grip Tech

    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
    Arbor System Parabolic Profiling

    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
    Complete the system with Arbor System X Bindings

    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.

    Pinnacle performance every ride

    "In my 30 years of riding; this is the best board I’ve ever owned. Every time I take it out I fall in love with it all over again. From deep powder to a sunny day of groomers; this board consistently delivers maximum stoke."

    Steve (5/5)

    Happiness

    "Super smooth carving, easy edge to edge. Great in the trees with the short tail. More than impressed with this board, its been a joy to ride in every condition. I thought it would be a bit aggressive due to the stiffness but the uprise fenders make it really forgiving. The stiffness just makes the board super responsive and stable when you need it."

    Luke (5/5)

    Good East coast all-arounder.

    "Rips groomers, effortlessly floats on pow, Uprise fenders do not impact carving ability like I initially thought they might. Plows chop and ice cookies no issue. Great choice for the east coast where conditions can be very variable."

    Q&A

    Hi, I'm 6'0 200lbs size 11.5 boot and am trying to decide between the 158w and the 163mw. Looking for a board for fast carving down groomers as well as hitting big steep lines.
    Hi there, Based on your description we would recommend an Annex 163MW! It will provide a stable ride at higher speeds and disperses your weight for a better float!
    I have an Annex that I bought in ‘21 that I absolutely love and ride 90% of the time. It’s taken some abuse over the years, esp with the 30+ days on it last season. I’m looking at the new board this season - are there any major differences with the newer version of the Annex?
    Hi there, Our Annex has the same specs, just different graphics!
    Recommended wax to use on the board? Wax before first ride or is it good to go?
    Hi there, All of our snowboards are factory waxed so it is not necessary to wax before first use!
    Thank you for your response regarding the annex being volume shifted. Is that just for the current model or are all models of the annex volume shifted?
    Hi there, Yes, all models of the Annex are volume shifted!
    Hi I am looking at replacing my old Burton Custom 158 with an Annex but I curious about sizing. I have heard that it is a little volume shifted so the 156 would ride more like a 158/159. Is this true or should I look at the 159? I am 160lbs 5’5” and an experienced rider. Thanks!
    Hi there! Yes, the Annex Camber is volume shifted so we do recommend going with a size 156 based on your description.
