The Arbor Kuro Neko Snowboard is a true twin, full camber board built for park riders who value the core fundamentals of freestyle riding. With a low-tech, no-frills approach to progression, it’s nimble, quick, and designed to boost confidence on rails, jumps, and side hits. Named after the Japanese “Black Cat,” the Kuro Neko always lands on its feet — agile, reliable, and ready to pounce.
Camber – This is the classic camber profile where the center of the board is raised off the snow, and the contact points are closer to the bindings.
Flex Rating – 5-6 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
True Twin
Highland II Core – A 10 / 20 blend of Poplar and Paulownia for a lighter, more responsive version of the Highland Core
Mixed Glassing – A triax over biax lay-up that's best for versatility: pow, backcountry, groomers, jumps, and more.
Real Wood Inlay
360° Fully Wrapped Sidewalls – 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.
Sintered Base – A higher molecular weight, sintered base that provides added durability and speed.
Recycled Steel Edges – Highly durable, recycled steel edges embody Arbor's key values: quality and sustainability.
Factory Tuned – Arbor detunes the tip and tail contact points on all of their snowboards for a catch-free ride before they leave the factory.
Bio-Plastic Topsheet – One of the materials Arbor uses in the quest to eliminate harmful petroleum based plastics from the production cycle. Made from castor bean oil, this eco-topsheet is extremely durable and water repellent.
Bio-Resin – Bio-Resin is a replacement for traditional petroleum based resin that doesn't affect performance or usability. The ingredients that go into it 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.

All mountain ripping comes easy when you're rocking gear designed just for you. The Arbor Sequoia Snowboard Bindings are engineered for smaller, lighter bodies with women's specific Asymmetrical Highbacks that hit your boot lower for a comfy, ergonomic feel. Combined with the awesome power transfer and responsiveness of Arbor's System X baseplate, the Sequoias will keep you coming back for more.
Flex rating – 3 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff)
System X – The System X design evenly distributes a rider's energy into their snowboard. No matter where pressure is applied to the binding, the System X allocates energy across the baseplate's structural X shape, and out to the four cardinal points. The result is quicker, more effective control. 15% glass content for added strength and stability.
50A TPE Outsole – The Outsole is a dampening interface made from a special TPE rubber. The Outsole integrates with the System X design and sits between the binding and a rider's snowboard. The Outsole diffuses high-frequency chatter while providing rebound and cushion for high-impact landings. On the Cypress, Arbor uses a slightly stiffer durometer TPE for added performance.
Fiberglass Reinforcing – The Hemlock and Sequoia, feature a 15% glass content for a softer, more forgiving ride; while the Cypress have 30% glass content for added strength and stability

Cast Aluminum Buckles and Levers – Offering ultra-reliable performance with long-term durability and a tighter, stronger click for an unparalleled boot-to-binding connection.
