Aggressive
"Sick board that feels better the faster it goes. Plows through crud and absorbs bumps. This is the board I'll use when I want to charge hard. Not a good board for slower speeds or more "playful" riding."

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.

True love does exist
"I’ve been riding for more than 20 years . And I’m a tall guy . I was hesitant I thought a 163 would be a little small for me but oh my god . It took me a while to trust the board and really but my weight in while turning . But when I did couldn’t believe it . Absolute control at really high speed . You can do abosultly anything with this board . I was in a really steep mountain and it was an amazing experience with this board . I also have a board that I love ( another brand so I wont name it ) softer twin board . But after using this one I couldn’t spend a day in the other one . God even to go invert or to parks . Amazing for powder . I’m in love with my board . Thank you !!!!"
