Mens Arbor Cask Camber Snowboard
Pop open a good one, because the Arbor Cask Snowboard slays powder so well it's reason to celebrate. A powder-specific design focuses on snow-to-board contact where it matters most and reduces contact in strategic areas for smooth edge-to-edge transitions. A long, floaty nose shifts to camber under foot, then into a smaller tail area for that surfy yet powerful ride sensible powder warriors clamor for. Mmm, yes, indubitably, the Arbor Cask Snowboard is to powder riding what an 18-year single malt Speyside is to a scotch fan. A toast, to the mountains!
Product Details
Rocker Type
The System Camber – Arbor's Camber profile has a poppy ride with crisp, fully engaged performance. The parabolic camber has uprise fenders to help to keep the outside contact points from digging into the snow, thus creating a cleaner, less-catchy board.
Pow Fenders – Pow Fenders are oversize Up-Rise Fenders that pull the outside contact points up off the snow, creating smooth turning and extra float.
Flex
8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Shape
Knucklehead Tip – Peak to parking lot with extra punch for powder.
Pow Tech – PowTech eliminates the front two GripTech contact points and moves the board's primary interface with the snow under your backfoot for pow-specific performance driven by the power of your back leg.
2cm Taper – A shaping technique that narrows the profile of the snowboard towards the rear contact points. Tapered snowboards will have a wider nose and narrower tail, allowing the tail of the board to sink in deeper snow creating natural float and cleaner tracking.
Core
FSC® Certified Highland II Core – A newly developed screening process has allowed Arbor to hand select the very lightest and highest quality paulownia from its sourcing partners. The result is a lighter, more responsive version of the FSC Certified Highland Core known for highly reliable return and long-lasting durability.
Laminates
Mixed Glassing – A triax over biax lay-up that's best for versatility: pow, backcountry, groomers, jumps and more.
Sidewalls
360° Rails – A 360°, fully wrapped sidewall that eliminates the need for tip fill, while effectively tying the whole snowboard together. A technology that delivers incredibly tight tolerances for improved board life and durability.
Recycled ABS – When a plastic alternative is unavailable, as in the case of ABS sidewalls, Arbor does its best to opt for a recycled material to improve the sustainability of its products.
Base
Sintered Base – A higher molecular weight, sintered base that provides added durability and speed.
Edges
Recycled Steel Edges – Arbor uses the most sustainable components possible. All edges are made from recycled steel. Highly durable, recycled steel edges embody both quality and sustainability.
Topsheet
Hand Dyed Ash Powerply – The Powerply works like an added layer of fiberglass. During construction, the natural wood or bamboo fibers are turned into a composite layer inside the board.
Bio-Plastic Topsheet – One of the materials Arbor uses in its quest to eliminate harmful petroleum based plastics from its production cycle. Made from castor bean oil, this eco-topsheet is extremely durable and water repellent.
Additional Features
Entropy Bio Resin – Starting with the 2020 line, Arbor is proud to announce that all Powerplys and R.A.P. Topless Tech veneers will be made with Entropy Bio-Resin, a replacement for traditional petroleum based resin that doesn't affect performance or usability. The ingredients that go into Entropy Bio-Resin are sourced as co-products or waste products of other industrial processes and are manufactured employing green chemistry techniques that reduce the carbon footprint of the material by up to 40% when compared to its petroleum based equivalent.
Factory Tuned – Arbor detunes the tip and tail contact points on all of its snowboards for a catch-free ride before they leave the factory.
Wend Natural Wax – All Arbor snowboards hit the shop floor ready to ride with Wend Natural Wax.
