Bamboo Power Ply - Bamboo is a remarkably sustainable material. By adding it as a power-generating deck-side ply we not only give our skates a super clean, Zen flavor, but also provide our customers with improved return and lasting durability.

Sustainably Sourced Koa and Hardrock Maple Plys - Koa's dense grain adds structure, which improves return, while providing a unique pattern on each skate and true heritage. Koa wood was used by the Hawaiians to build the 1st surfboards 1,000 years ago. Maple provides the best blend of durability and light-weight performance.

Water-Based Finishes and Recycled Glass - Crushed recycled glass replaces highly processed grip tapes to allow the natural grain to remain visible, while providing better performance than the silica bead-based alternatives. All Arbor skates are produced using a water-based sanding sealer and final finish as the best way to help protect the air we all breathe, especially when skating…

Recycled Plastic Risers, Reclaimed Wood By-product - All Arbor completes are shipped with recycled plastic risers, which helps both Arbor and its customers reduce reliance on petroleum and contribution to land fills. All wood by-product created during the production of Arbor skates is reclaimed for use in other Arbor products or by outside companies
