Arbor A-Frame Snowboard – A New Era of Power and Precision

The Arbor A-Frame Snowboard returns reimagined for a new generation of riders. Now reincarnated as a swallowtail, this next-gen A-Frame combines Arbor’s legacy of high-performance snowboards with surf-inspired design elements and progressive directional shaping. This innovative redesign embodies the ethos of Arbor’s Founders Collection, fusing cutting-edge performance with the timeless spirit of exploration.

Perfect for the rider who craves precision on groomers and float on powder days, the A-Frame now offers a more dynamic, back-foot dominant turning experience.
