The Arbor Draft is a park-oriented fully rockered twin that is forgiving enough for beginners but packed full technology for your more intermediate to advanced riders. Made with a softer flex for easier turn initiation and more maneuverability while still retaining good edge hold with the Grip tech contact points. Whether you are doing butters in the park or just looking for a board that's easy to ride, this is a great option.

Why we like it:

The Arbor Draft is a great value for someone who is looking to progress in the park. Full rocker profile and make it not only forgiving if you are just starting out but also makes it maneuverable for the rider who is looking to explore off trail. Twin shaping also makes it just as comfortable to ride switch as it is riding regular.

Who it's for:

This board would be a great option for a beginner looking to dabble in the park or a more advanced rider looking to weave through the trees effortlessly. A great option if you are skiing out west in deeper snow as well.

Highlights:

The price is not the only thing we like about this board, made with Flip Tips which are gradually rockered tips and tails that have a flat surface making it great for nose and tail presses. The Highland core is a combination of Poplar and Paulownia which provide great reliability and durability for the life of the board. Added Grip Tech contact points make for better edge hold on harder packed icy conditions while the fully rockered profile makes it easy to maneuver through tight trees and moguls.

Things to consider:

The Draft is fully rockered so you do sacrifice some stability and edge hold on harder packed icy conditions and the softer flex may not be the best for your heavier more aggressive riders. The twin shape and more centered reference stance make for less float in deeper snow but the refence stance can be set back to help with this.

Fit & sizing considerations:

With the full rocker and softer flex, this board can ride a little short, but you can always size up for more stability.
