2026 Arbor Terrapin PFD Snowboard

Arbor Terrapin Snowboard – A Modern Classic Reimagined for the Deepest Days

The Arbor Terrapin Snowboard has been re-engineered for those who seek precision, power, and float on the deepest days. Inspired by the original design, the third-generation Terrapin incorporates cutting-edge Powder Floatation Device (PFD) shaping, ensuring that the board excels in all conditions, particularly when the snow is deep and the terrain demands control. The evolution of this iconic snowboard takes inspiration from traditional snow-surfing and fuses it with innovative modern performance to create an all-mountain board that is built for those who demand the best.

This redesigned Terrapin brings the best of both worlds: a surf-inspired, directional System Rocker profile with a longer, flattened section under the backfoot for added power and control. The PFD shape offers incredible floatation in powder, while the redesigned 3D fenders and heavily tapered shape harken back to the OG Terrapin, providing the perfect balance of float and edge control. The addition of a 3D boat-haul-like centerline through the nose and an aggressive tail slot give you more edge-able contact in deep snow and tight trees, making this board your go-to choice for the deepest days and any challenging terrain you encounter.
