High Performance Rocker Snowboards from Arbor

With “The Rocker System” the brand launched a platform for reverse camber shapes. Boards with reverse camber, also known as a rocker, are similar in shape to surfboards. As opposed to standard, or positive camber, these boards feature a negative camber which brings with it a handful of advantages such as:

• Easy Turns
• Smooth spins and slides
• More float in powder
• A playful, forgiving ride

On top of all that, their “ parabolic shape ” and “ Grip-Tech sidecut ” make Arbor snowboards perfect for technical riding . The parabolic shape sees the rocker ease off towards the nose and tail, guaranteeing enough edge contact to maintain control at high speeds or on hard pistes. The Grip-Tech sidecut design gives the board 4 underfoot contact points to ensure optimum power transmission for aggressive turns and playful edge changes.

Board Mapping: The Right Board for Any Environment

Arbor's board collection features a range of boards for every environment. Depending on your style, you can choose between freestyle snowboards, freeride snowboards and all mountain snowboards. Jibbers should look no further than the Draft , a jib machine that offers plenty of bang for your buck, while powder junkies will love the Shreddy Krueger , a set-back, gun shape board that can hold its own in any terrain.
