Lessons learned…

Arbor’s park and mountain shifter - a directional board developed for riders who quickly transition from one terrain or riding style to another and demand reliable all-aspect performance.  The Coda’s structural bamboo top and bamboo-reinforced core generate incredible pop and durability.

Protecting the planet is about the environments we utilize everyday. We need clean air to skate, clean water to surf, and snow to ride.

STRUCTURAL BAMBOO TOPSHEET - Bamboo veneer not only creates a clean, Zen flavor - it also works like a 3rd layer of fiberglass.  During construction resin locks the dense natural fibers in place, creating a composite layer that structurally enhances a board, providing added return and durability, while allowing for important weight reduction.

FSC CERTIFIED WOOD CORES - All of Arbor’s wood cores are made with poplar that has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council as sustainably produced.  Poplar is still the best choice as a primary wood core material due to its combination of lighter-weight performance, durability, and availability.

BAMBOO REINFORCED WOOD CORE - Solid bamboo radically increases board power and durability.  Bamboo is one of the strongest materials on the planet.  It has 40 times the effective life of carbon fiber and provides 60% more return than traditional core materials.  Bamboo has a tensile strength and weight-to-strength ratio superior to steel; yet it is light, flexible, and resistant to compression.
