From the mind and experience of Pat Moore – the Rain is Arbor's highest-performance, trick-oriented, smash-the-jump line and destroy backcountry booter board ever. This powerful camber and contemporary board draws on Pat's expansive experience riding just about everything and provides the strength to handle a myriad of conditions.
Flex: 8/10
Shape: Directional Twin - Quiver killing, high performance designs for backcountry freestyle & all-mountain mastery.
0.3cm Taper - A shaping technique that narrows the profile of the snowboard towards the rear contact points. Tapered snowboards will have a wider nose and narrower tail, allowing the tail of the board to sink in deeper snow creating natural float and cleaner tracking.
Bend: Camber - A highly responsive ride, crisp on-edge performance, and more pop for carving and ollies. Effortless true-camber performance across all types of snow, and during turns, spins, and landing
Core: Highland III Core - A 5 / 20 blend of Poplar and Paulownia for lighter weight and higher performance. The HIGHLAND III has the highest ratio of Paulownia to Poplar
Fibreglass: Mixed Glassing - A triax over biax lay–up that’s best for versatility: pow, backcountry, groomers, jumps, and more
Base: Sintered - A higher molecular weight, sintered base that provides added durability and speed.
EXTRAS
Real Wood Powerply - Built with natural fiber, wood and bamboo topsheets drive the performance, aesthetic, and ethos that Arbor is known for. Several steps are taken to get a Powerply onto Arbor snowboards responsibly, and in a way that ensures durability and lasting quality.
Double Carbon Stringer - Two carbon fiber stringers run from the tip to tail providing added pop, snap and landing durability
Recycled Steel Edges - Our highly durable, recycled steed edges embody two of (remove our) Arbor’s key values: quality and sustainability.
360 Degree Wrapped Sidewalls - A 360–degree, fully wrapped sidewall that 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.
