Make your first turns the Arbor Formula Snowboard. The Arbor Formula features an all-mountain rocker designed to be easy to ride so you can learn and grow with confidence. Turn with ease and eventually bomb hills on the tough and fast Fusion Base. The Formula also features other high-end features such as UN3 Progressive Sidecuts and Rhythm walls found on Arbor's high-end boards to provide you with great edgehold and durability. Affordable, powerful and great for beginners, the Arbor Formula Snowboard is your stepping stone to the world of snowboarding.
System Rocker – A "True-Rocker" design based on the parabolic arc; a shape that gradually reduces the amount of rocker toward the tips. This ensures that the outside contact points are close enough to the snow to reengage when maximum edge control is needed: Loaded Turns, higher speeds, bigger landings. Arbor's parabolic rocker provides an additional layer of on-demand edge control, without sacrificing any true-rocker performance.
Medium Flex – A responsive flex that remains playful and forgiving enough for a fun ride that can handle any terrain.
Directional-Twin Shape – A directional twin shape with a slightly drawn out nose, perfect for on-mountain, backcountry, and deep snow performance
UN3 Progressive Sidecut (Grip Tech) – Unblended tri-radial, better turning, initiation, stability. Grip Tech is a sidecut design that creates four additional contact points under foot for significantly improved, more direct edge control. The new contacts also create heel and toe pivot points that make turning faster and more efficient. Grip-Tech allows Arbor to offer a "True-Rocker" profile with powerful edge control, and thus preserve the full range of associated performance benefits. Grip-Tech also allows riders with larger feet (up to US men's 12) to ride standard width shapes.
Mission II Core – A unique composite core made with 20% reclaimed wood fiber - value, soft-flex performance, strength.
Butter Glassing – A biax over biax lay-up designed for park and street inspired all-mountain riding.
Rhythm Walls – An advanced blend of ABS and urethane; deliver durability and a clean, acoustically damp ride.
Fusion Base – A tough, user-friendly extruded material that's light and easy to repair.
Recycled Steel Edges – Max edge durability and performance, made with 60% recycled hardened steel.
Bio-Film – Hi-gloss film, 30% bio-plastic, protects top while replacing biologically harmful clear coat.
