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.Wider waist = More Surface Area | We suggest you downsize 3-5cm from your preferred board length. GRIP TECH Grip Tech creates added heel and toe contact points that dramatically improve edge control on snow and ice. The design creates a more ergonomic and direct connection to the snow for substantially improved handling and response time. The Added contact points make it possible for Arbor to offer Rocker designs that hold an amazing edge and Camber designs that provide cleaner edge performance. PARABOLIC PROFILING We use a unique shaping technique that replaces the single radius arc found in traditional camber or rocker with a more advanced parabolic profile. The design blends five separate radii together to create a parabolic arc which gradually reduces the amount of rocker or camber toward the tip and tail. In our System Rocker shapes the design lowers the leading edge to improve edge hold. In our System Camber shapes the design makes the leading edge less aggressive for smoother performance. The blended five radii design also drastically improves our ability to tune each shape in our line for ability level, target terrain and riding style. SYSTEM CAMBER Our System Camber shapes are for riders who want: 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 landings COMPLETE THE SYSTEM WITH ARBOR SYSTEM X BINDINGS THE SYSTEM X BASEPLATE FOUND ON ALL ARBOR BINDINGS A proprietary design that transfers rider input out to four heel-to-toe convergence zones, improving edge controls and response time. A concave design allows a board to flex more seamlessly by reducing flat spots for improved edge performance. When paired with an Arbor Snowboard, the System X design improves the activation of Arbor's Grip Tech contact points. This unique binding / board interaction provides maximum performance at speed, in steeps, amd through any turn, carve or spin. VIEW BINDINGS FENDER TECH The edge control created by Arbor's System platform allows us to add Fenders that slightly lift a board's leading edge off the snow. This dramatically improves turning, spins, float and tracking on cambered snowboards.Unlike "early rise" or "rockered" nose/tail transition zone, Arbor's Fenders create smoother performance without shortening the camber section of the board. As a result, you get a clean ride without any loss of the pop or performance that comes from full-length camber. Today, we use Fenders on the majority of our System Camber designs.
