Perfect for tackling fresh snow while still holding an edge on groomers, the Counterbalance thrives in any terrain. Sit back, relax, and let this top-performing board guide you to new heights.

Shape/Profile: Directional Camber

Flex: Mid

Base: Sintered WFO

Details:

• A tapered directional snowboard features a shape where the tail is narrower than the nose, providing enhanced control and stability in deeper snow. This design improves floatation in powder and allows for smoother turns, making it ideal for freeride and backcountry riding. 
• Directional Camber incorporates rocker in the nose, enhancing float in powder while preserving the responsiveness and stability of traditional camber.

• Inserts: The Channel

  The Burton Channel forgoes the traditional mounting system and introduces a channel for your front and rear inserts. This allows you to fine-tune your stance width and gives you more freedom in your stance location. The Channel is compatible with most major binding brands, but works best with Burton EST bindings.

• Laminate: 45° Carbon Highlights:

  The 45° Carbon Highlights is a tip-to-tail carbon layer that cuts down on weight while incorporating 45° angled fibers. This design enhances the board's torsional flex, delivering a more aggressive and responsive ride.

• The Super Fly II 700G Core combines stronger, lighter woods in key areas, boosting pop and strength while reducing weight for a more responsive ride.
• Dualzone EGD aligns the wood grain along the heel and toe edges in two continuous zones, perpendicular to the rest of the core. This setup ensures superior edge hold and strength, delivering a more consistent and stable ride.
• Squeezebox blends thicker, more powerful sections with thinner, more flexible ones throughout the core. This profile improves energy transfer, making the board snappier and enhancing its stability.
• Edge: Frostbite Edges
  Frostbite Edges extend slightly under your bindings, providing extra edge hold on hardpack and ice for superior control and stability in challenging conditions.
• The Sintered WFO base—short for Wide F!#@ing Open—features a high-density, extra absorbent material infused with a special wax. This creates a durable, fast base that handles all conditions with ease.
• Infinite Ride:
  Burton's Infinite Ride process overbuilds each board in the factory before using machinery to break it in. This ensures your board maintains its pop and performance from day one to day 100, year after year, for consistent, long-lasting performance.

SIZE GUIDE:

The Coda is a highly versatile, big mountain twin, with a shape, flex, and build that supports speed, big landings, and deeper snow. This quiver cornerstone features Arbor's 'Rise Above Plastic RAP' topsheet - a sustainably sourced powerply, with zero plastic. The new technology delivers a highly-responsive ride in a lighter, more responsible way. The System Camber design offers a poppy ride with crisp, fully engaged performance.

Shape: Camber

Flex: 7/10

Base: Sintered

Details:

• All Mountain
• 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-stiff flex that is perfect for hard charging riders that need to get the most from their boards, but still like it to have a bit of play.
• This board is a twin but has a directional shaped nose and tail, so it can ride switch with no problems but will provide better float going forwards.
• 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.
• Uprise Fenders - Due to the addition of Grip Tech, it's possible to slightly lift the outside contact points, reducing catch and improving tracking and turn initiation.
• The most progressive core from Arbor, the Double Barrel II Core is made from Poplar reinforced with two Bamboo struts running down the edges of the board for added torsional response and stability.
• A Triax and Biax layup that provides superior versatility over standard Triax or Biax layups.
• 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.
• R.A.P. Topless Technology - Built in a way that eliminates the need for a Bio-Plastic Topsheet, which makes it a lighter, more eco-friendly ride.
• 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.
• Entropy Bio-Resin - This board is made with Entropy Bio-Resin, which is a replacement for traditional petroleum-based resin that doesn't affect performance. The ingredients that go into Entropy 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.
• Recycled ABS - ABS Plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. Arbor improve the sustainability of this snowboard by using recycled plastic.
