Arbor Draft Snowboard - 2011/2012

Product Descriptions

REI Description: The Arbor Draft is a street-specific rocker snowboard for riders whose focus is park and urban jibs, rails, boxes, trees and wall rides. A buttery, forgiving flex supports your spin tricks. Jib rocker is the perfect platform for spinning, pressing, bonking and buttering your way through life-don't tell mom! Parabolic rocker shape ensures that outside contact points engage with the snow when maximum edge control is needed; this means loaded turns, higher speeds and bigger landings. Grip Tech sidecut makes 4 points of contact underfoot for improved and direct edge control; contact points create heel and toe pivot points for faster, more efficient turning. True twin shape equalizes stance to more effectively activate the contact points underfoot and enhance the rocker design. Certified by the Forest Stewardship Council for sustainable production, this core is the most versatile core made by Arbor; it offers reliable return and lasting durability. Sustainably sourced inlaid wood topsheet structurally enhances the board, adding return and durability, and reducing weight; plus, it creates a one-of-a-kind look. Butter glassing (biax over biax) is best for park and street-inspired, all-mountain and urban riding. Topsheet features a protective ultrathin finish, made from a castor-bean-based bio-plastic, that guards against damage caused by loose bindings and unforeseen impacts. Deep Shadow Flex tapers and thins the board in between the bindings for enhanced jib and street performance. ABS/urethane blend sidewall construction provides maximum durability and excellent edge control. Soft bronze edges ensure less catchy performance on rails, boxes and any other hard surface you care to jib. Fusion base is a made from a tough, user-friendly extruded compound that is light and easy to repair.
