Arbor Swoon Rocker Snowboard 2017

Power Ply Topsheet:
Almost all Arbor Snowboards are made with a sustainably sourced wood or Bamboo topsheet. We call this construction a Power Ply. The natural grain creates the style we've been known for since we launched twenty years ago. Less well recognized is how the technology improves the strength, durability, and return of our snowboards. The Power Ply works like an added layer of fiberglass. During construction, the natural wood or Bamboo fibers are turned into a composite layer inside the board; but the process takes time. In the end, the process makes Arbor Power Ply designs the most labor intensive snowboards on the marker. The resulting performance board life, and finish quality are worth the extra effort, in addition to the reduction in our reliance on man made glues, coatings, and composites.

Single Malt Core:
Our standard wood core, made from 100% sustainably grown poplar for highly reliable return and long–lasting durability.

Parabolic Profiling:
The System utilizes rocker and camber profiles created using the parabolic arc, which progressively reduces the amount of rocker or camber toward the tip and tail of a snowboard, creating nice low profiles. On our Rocker System designs, this ensures the outside contact points are close enough to the snow to engage when maximum performance is required – higher speeds, fully loaded turns, and bigger landings.

Grip Tech:
Grip Tech is a tri-radial sidecut design that is not "blended". Natural shaping intersections, that in the past were eliminated, have been transformed into heel-and-toe contact points that provide a direct, more ergonomic way to grip the snow when additional control is needed. The extra contacts also form pivot zones that make turning easier and more natural. Grip Tech effectively moves a board's primary interface with the snow underfoot, allowing us to deliver designs that don't lose performance as we lift leading sections of the effective edge from the snow for a less grabby ride.

360 Rails:
A 360 degree, 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.

Sintered Base:
A higher molecular weight, sintered base that provides added durability and speed.
