The Carter comes from the brutal and best conditions. From the mind, grit, and riding style of Mark Carter, its wider platform displaces volume for stable float without sacrificing the energy transmission and a reactive pop necessary for taking more tactical lines. The brand new Carter features a bit less tip and tail that will come back to you as underfoot stability in hardpack and a surfy board feel in powder. Yeehaw now.

Flex: 4/10

Shape: Big Mountain Twin - Quiver killing, high performance designs for backcountry freestyle & all-mountain mastery.

0.8cm 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: Double Barrel II Core - A progressive 1:2 Poplar and Paulownia blend with bamboo stringers running along the rails of the board for added torsional response and improved board control.

Fibreglass: Mixed Glassing - A triax over biax lay-up that’s best for versatility: pow, backcountry, groomers, jumps, and more.

Base: Sintered Base - A higher molecular weight, sintered base that provides added durability and speed.

EXTRAS

AWD Carbon Uprights - A carbon fiber lay-up insert running from the contact points to the inserts creates structural A-frames for improved torsional performance in the steeps and at speed.

Eucalyptus Powerply - Our wood and bamboo topsheets. Built with natural fiber drives the performance, aesthetic, and ethos that Arbor is known for. Several steps are taken to get a Powerply onto our snowboards responsibly, and in a way that ensures durability and lasting quality.

Offset Fender 5° Nose/ 3° Tail - The edge control created by Arbor’s System platform allows us to add Fenders that slightly lift a board’s leading(remove hyphen)edge off the snow. This dramatically improves turning, spins, float, and tracking on cambered snowboards. 

Bio Resin - All Powerplys and R.A.P. Topless Tech veneers will be made with Bio-Resin, a replacement for traditional petroleum-based resin that doesn’t affect performance or usability. The ingredients that go into Bio-Resin 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). 

Recycled Steel Edges - Our highly durable, recycled steed edges embody two of (remove our) Arbor’s key values: quality and sustainability.
