The Arbor Terrapin PFD Snowboard has been reimagined as your ultimate 'Powder Floatation Device', engineered to dive deep and surface smooth in the steep and deep. Surf-inspired System Rocker meets a new flattened zone under the back foot for powerful drive and control, while redesigned 3D fenders, a boat-hull nose, and an aggressive tail slot carve fresh lines through trees and untouched bowls with unmatched flow. With its radically tapered shape and surfboard soul, the Terrapin PFD transforms every powder day into a deep, dreamy escape.
System Rocker – If you want a surfy ride, natural float, buttery turns and spins, and catch-free tracking across the snow - all with highly reliable edge hold - then Arbor's System Rocker shapes are for you. System Rocker progressively reduces the amount of rocker toward the tip and tail and allows the outside contacts to easily engage when max edge hold is needed.
Flex Rating – 5-6 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Directional Shape – 30mm Taper
Grip Tech 1.25mm – A tri-radial sidecut design that is not "blended." Natural shaping intersections, that in the past were eliminated, have been transformed into heel and toe contact points that provide a direct, more ergonomic way to grip the snow when additional control is needed.
3D PFD Fenders
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.
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.
Real Wood Powerply – From the beginning, Arbor's Powerply veneer topsheets have been made with sustainable sourced wood and bamboo material whose organic fiber drives performance through natural power, strength and longevity. The individuality of each slice of veneer provides every board a one-of-a-kind aesthetic that is otherwise impossible to replicate.
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.
Wend Natural Wax – All Arbor snowboards hit the shop floor ready to ride with Wend Natural Wax.

The Arbor Hemlock Snowboard Bindings are ideal for riders taking a freestyle-first approach to their riding. Symmetrical highbacks have 5 degrees of lateral pre-rotation for maximum freedom of movement, while Arbor's System X baseplate connects you directly to your board for improved response as you line up your next trick.
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 Durometer 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.
Adjustable Extruded Aluminum Heelcup – Highly durable extruded aluminum, designed to work with the Mini-Disk for amazing adjustability. Use the highback to center the foot and the disk to fine-tune your stance width.
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
EVA Footbed
Tool-less Forward Lean Adjustment
Hemlock 2 Asymmetrical Highbacks with 5° Lateral Pre-Rotation
BioStraps – Arbor’s plant-based BioStrap takes the place of harmful petrol-based plastics focusing on heel lock and secure fit, with a comfortable curvature and low profile, single-injection ankle strap. Stronger, lighter, more sustainable, and the first of its kind.
Bow-Strap Adjuster – Arbor's patented "Bow-Strap" adjuster and ladder strap swings out of the way quickly and easily, making binding entry a simple, user-friendly experience. The pre-curved strap steers clear of your boot while maintaining form and durability in even the coldest conditions.
Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon Buckles and Levers
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.
2x4 Universal Mini-Disc – Mini-Disks require less surface area and along with the System X help provide a more organic snowboard flex underfoot. They are channel compatible.
