Arbor Push Snowboard - Women's 2010

Comments about Arbor Push Snowboard - Women's 2010:

I debated most of last season whether or not I wanted to upgrade my older K2 Luna to an Arbor Push. After reading seemingly endless stellar reviews online I pulled the trigger and bought the Push. I wish I had done it sooner!!

The first thing I noticed about this board is the super fluid maneuverability. Turning is smooth and initiates easily even on steeper terrain (definitely a plus).
Another huge difference I felt between the Push and my ex Luna was when carving. This Arbor 's got teeth- it really grips the mountain and combining that with the fluid turn initiation makes for heavenly carves on nearly every type of snow. I hit everything from icy groomers to crunchy nerds to silky powder and the Push handled it all. The camber gives just enough umph to propel you out of turns when you're shredding hard to keep you from catching an edge. Also notable is how stable the ride is, be it on the chunk or smooth flatter runs.

The only draw back of this board is that it dings easy but still not as easily as my Luna. I would not recommend the Push for beginners- the coolest features of this board (sidecut, camber etc) would be best utilized/handled by intermediate riders. This is a great board to step up your riding and although the Push is not the best choice for days when it's dumping powder it'll still hold its own.

I would recommend this board to intermediate lady boarders that ride the whole mountain and push themselves. The more aggressive the better!

[...]I'm really happy I bought the Arbor Push. I've boarded for 10+ years and I like to bomb it down the slopes. This board is so fast that I have to watch my speed. Its also super responsive and stable so the chatter doesn't throw me off and I can stop/turn on a dime. It truly felt like I was surfing the mountain the first time I rode it! I've retired from the park so I can't say anything about doing tricks with this board but its perfect if you are looking for speed and stability!
