Shape/Profile: Directional Camber
Flex: Mid-Stiff
Base: Sintered WFO
Details:
- Freeride Snowboards
Designed for steep, off-piste terrain, freeride snowboards excel in aggressive riding, making them ideal for more advanced riders who want to tackle challenging conditions.
- Powder Snowboards
Built for deep snow, powder boards typically feature a directional shape with a tapered tail, offering better float and ease of ride in fresh, deep snow. -
Tapered Directional: The tail of the board is narrower than the nose, enhancing control and stability in deeper snow, improving float in powder, and providing smoother turns. This shape is ideal for freeride and backcountry conditions.
-
Directional Flex: With more pop in the tail and a stiffer nose, this flex design makes the board easier to control in all conditions, whether you're charging down a mountain or navigating technical terrain.
- Directional Camber introduces rocker in the nose, providing extra float in powder while maintaining the power, response, and edge control of traditional camber. This results in unmatched precision and stability.
- The Burton Channel replaces the traditional mounting system with a channel for front and rear inserts. This allows you to fine-tune your stance width and position, providing more flexibility in your setup. While the Channel is compatible with most major binding brands, it performs best with Burton EST bindings.
- Laminate: Triax with Carbon I-Beam
Triax fiberglass is layered above and below the core to provide a versatile flex and consistent response, suitable for all types of snowboarding. A lightweight Carbon I-Beam backbone is added to the Triax fiberglass layer to increase pop and responsiveness. -
Super Fly II 700G Core: Uses stronger, lighter woods in targeted areas to provide more pop and strength while reducing weight.
-
Dualzone EGD: Aligns the wood grain along the heel and toe edges in two continuous zones, perpendicular to the rest of the core, providing consistent edge hold and strength.
-
Squeezebox: Features thicker, more powerful sections combined with thinner, more flexible sections throughout the core, enhancing energy transfer for a snappy, stable ride.
- Base: Sintered WFO
The Sintered WFO base, standing for Wide F!#@ing Open, is crafted from an ultra-absorbent, high-density sintered material infused with specially formulated wax. This base is durable, fast, and performs well across a variety of conditions.
- Balanced Freeride Geometry
A setback camber and stance-centered sidecut make this board feel like a twin when riding flat, while still providing the tight turns and effortless float typical of a directional board.
- Super Sap Epoxy
Super Sap is a bio-based resin that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% compared to conventional petroleum-based epoxies, making the board more environmentally friendly without compromising performance.

Arbor Cadence Womens Snowboard 2025
The 2025 Arbor Cadence Camber is a versatile board that is soft enough the press and butter in the park, but still with all the stability you need for jumps and all mountain riding. With the System Camber profile, you'll get a responsive ride with increased edge hold around the mountain, while still being plenty of fun in the park.
Shape: Positive camber
Flex: 4/10
Base: Sintered
Details:
- Resort / Park
- The Camber System from Arbor is a parabolic take on positive camber that progressively reduces the amount of camber towards the tip and tail. This ensures your contact points don't dig too hard into the snow, preventing edge catch, making it easier to turn and spin, and giving you a poppy ride with fully engaged performance.
- A mid-soft flex that is perfect for riders that need to get the most from their boards, but still like it to have a bit of play.
- This board is constructed exactly the same tip to tail, so will ride exactly the same in regular or switch.
- Grip Tech is a combination of three separate sidecut radii in the nose, tail, and centre of the board, effectively giving the board an additional two contact points. This provides extra grip and control in all conditions, and also makes turning smoother, easier, and less catchy, without losing performance.
- Made from the lightest and highest quality paulownia wood, the end result is a core that is lighter, more responsive with long lasting durability.
- A full Biax layup that's designed to be softer flexing and more forgiving for freestyle inspired all-mountain riding
- Sintered means fast and tough base material that is quick in all snow conditions.
- Hand Dyed Ash Powerply - This creates the style Arbor is known for, but isn't just for looks. Power Ply is a sustainably sourced layer of wood or bamboo that acts like an added layer of fibreglass due to a labor intensive process that results in increased performance, finish quality, board life, and less reliance on man made materials.
- Bio Plastic Topsheet - Made from Castor bean oil, it is durable, water resistant and much more friendly than the petroleum base equivalent.
- 360° Fully Wrapped Sidewalls - These 360° sidewalls eliminate the need for tip fill, enhancing durability and improving board life.
- Recycled Steel Edges - These highly durable recycled steel edges promote sustainability without sacrificing quality.
- Bio-Resin - This board is made with Bio-Resin, which is a replacement for traditional petroleum-based resin that doesn't affect performance. The ingredients that go into Bio-Resin are co-products or waste products of other industrial processes and reduces the carbon footprint of the material by up to 40% (when compared to a petroleum-based equivalent).
- Wend Natural Wax - This board is waxed with Wend Natural Wax and is ready to ride straight out of the shop.
- Factory Tuned - This snowboard is factory de-tuned at the tip and tail, so you can go riding straight away.
