Since 1995 Arbor has been replacing environmentally harmful materials with ecologically based, natural alternative to create their snowboards. For the most part Arbor was the only environmentally friendly alternative available and many people looked at Arbor and saw them as the ‘tree-hugger’ stereotype, a stereotype that Arbor gladly embraced. Now, after twelve years of hard work and dedication Arbor has remained a rider owned and operated company and is proud to be known as the pioneer of ecologically-driven, rider-oriented design. Arbor’s unique approach has allowed them to develop an independent voice and arrive at today’s fusion of green innovation and expanded environmental awareness.
3. Full Wood Topsheet Works like a 3rd layer of fiberglass - during construction resin locks the dense wood fibers in place, creating a composite layer that structurally enhances a board, providing added return and durability, while allowing for important weight reduction. Poplar Wood Core Poplar is still the best choice as a primary wood core material due to its combination of lighter-weight performance, durability, and availability. Ecotechnologies A versatile true-twin for rippers who rule from park to peak. A structural Waterwood top, balanced flex, and progressive shape make this charger ideal for hitting everything from park floaters to hidden backcountry kickers - from naturals to man-welded features.

Full Wood Topsheet Works like a 3rd layer of fiberglass - during construction resin locks the dense wood fibers in place, creating a composite layer that structurally enhances a board, providing added return and durability, while allowing for important weight reduction. Paulownia Wood Core Additive Paulownia is a fast growing, plantation-cultivated species that we use an ultra-lightweight, balsa-like core additive. Unlike balsa, paulownia strength is similar to traditional wood core materials, which allows us to deliver maximum weight reduction, without reducing durability. Poplar Wood Core Poplar is still the best choice as a primary wood core material due to its combination of lighter-weight performance, durability, and availability.
5. Ecotechnologies 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. Poplar Wood Core Poplar is still the best choice as a primary wood core material due to its combination of lighter-weight performance, durability, and availability .
