The Arbor Annex Snowboard is a board of many epiphanies. Eureka, space concept art truly makes the best base art. Yes, Bryan Iguchi really loves quality snowboards and his inspiration serves the sport and its comrades-in-shred quite well. And, oh snap, Carbon Vector Netting, responsive camber, and a premium Sintered Pus Base all lend to the Arbor Annex Snowboard being a seriously rad rippin' ride. Come out of the woodwork and explore a little. Or, better yet, explore a lot.
Product Details
Rocker Type
System Camber – If you want a highly responsive ride, crisp on-edge performance, and more pop for carving and ollies - all with smoother camber performance - then System Camber shapes are for you. The camber progressively reduces toward the tip and tail, making the leading edge less aggressive for cleaner on-snow performance.
Flex
Flex Rating – 8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Shape
Taper – 20mm
Core
FSC Certified Double Barrel Core – Poplar and paulownia blend with bamboo stringers running down the center of the board for added longitudinal pop and unmatched board control.
Laminates
Mixed Glassing – A triax over biax lay-up that's best for versatility: pow, backcountry, groomers, jumps, and more.
Cross Vector Netting – A recent Arbor development, Carbon Vector Net reinforcements create evenly distributed torsional power and accelerated response from tip to tail.
Sidewalls
Recycled ABS – When a plastic alternative is unavailable, as in the case of ABS sidewalls, Arbor does its best to opt for a recycled material to improve the sustainability of their products.
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.
Base
Sintered Plus Base – Arbor's sintered plus base is mid-density material that demonstrates increased speed and durability while maintaining the ease of repair.
Edges
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.
Topsheet
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.
Additional Features
Inlaid Powerply Stringer
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.
