It’s been an insane snow year in SoCal, the kind of season you may only see every ten years. At Bear Mountain, it’s almost been more about riding powder in the canyons than shredding one of the best parks in the world. In this Video Of The Week, Arbor marketing director, Brad Farmer and Bear Mountain team rider, Eli Weiner set out on a powder mission into Bow Canyon–Eli on the Wasteland snowboard and Brad on the Draft. Not your typical pow boards but then this isn’t your typical place to shred deep snow. Get into it.
Arbor’s take on the rocker revolution - the new Draft is designed around The System, a fusion of interdependent technologies that support jib-specific performance.

Hahai no ka ua i ka ulula’au. Translation: The rain follows after the forest.
Explanation: If you destroy the forest, the rains will cease to fall and the land will become a desert. without the forest soil will run into the ocean and killing our fish and reefs-the balance will be lost.
