GPS Snowboard

Real Wood Powerply
Built with natural fber, wood and bamboo topsheets drive the performance, aesthetic, and ethos that Arbor is known for. Several steps are taken to get a Powerply onto Arbor snowboards responsibly, and in a way that ensures durability and lasting quality.

Grip Tech 2.25mm
Grip Tech is a design feature that creates an ergonomic and direct connection between the edge of a snowboard and the snow through added heel and toe contact points. It provides improved handling and response time with added edge control on the resort and in mixed conditions. These added contact points also make it possible for Arbor to offer Rocker designs that hold an edge unlike most other reverse camber boards available.

Offset Fenders
Fender Tech is a 3D feature that symmetrically pulls a snowboards outer contact points up off the snow. On System Camber models, fenders can be found in both the nose and tail at the traditional contact points and are designed to create smoother turn initiation and finish. On System Rocker models, their primary purpose is added flotation on deep days.

Bio-plastic Topsheet
Used in an ongoing effort to eliminate harmful petroleum-based plastics, this Castor Bean eco-topsheet is extremely durable and water repellent.

Bio-resin
All Arbor snowboards are made with Bio-Resin, a replacement for traditional petroleum-based resin. The ingredients that go into 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.

Double Carbon Stringers
Two carbon fber stringers run from the tip to tail providing added pop, snap and landing durability.

Highland III Core
A 5 / 20 blend of Poplar and Paulownia for lighter
weight and higher performance. The HIGHLAND
III has the highest ratio of Paulownia to Poplar.

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

Mixed Glassing
A triax over biax lay-up that’s best for versatility: pow, backcountry, groomers, jumps, and more.

360º Wrapped Sidewalls
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.
