Arbor - Padre 2025 Snowboard
The Arbor Padre Snowboard takes inspiration from the surfy shapes and laid back culture of Japan's snowboarding scene. Its combination of tapered directional shaping with a powerful camber profile and seriously setback stance is perfect for painting clean, smooth arcs in the deepest snow. Pair with an onsen and ramen session afterwards for the full effect.
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.
