2025 Arbor Padre Snowboard
High-performance, low-angle, touch-the-ground turns are the hallmark of traditional Japanese-style snowboarding, and the Padre draws heavy inspiration from the region of the world that has been snow-surfing for over fifty years. This board is a set-back, directional, Japanese-influenced gun shape with a powerful camber profile that goes fast and turns hard.
Camber Profile
- System Camber – If you want a highly responsive ride, crisp on-edge performance, and more pop for carving and ollies - all with smoother camber performance - then System Camber shapes are for you. The camber progressively reduces toward the tip and tail, making the leading edge less aggressive for cleaner on-snow performance.
Flex
- 8/10 (1=Soft,10=Stiff)
Shape
- Directional
- 7mm Taper
Core
-
Highland II Core – A 10 / 20 blend of Poplar and Paulownia for a lighter,
more responsive version of the Highland Core.
Laminates
- Mixed Glassing – A triax over biax lay-up that’s best for versatility: pow, backcountry, groomers, jumps, and more.
Topsheet
- Real Wood Powerply – Built with natural fiber, wood and bamboo topsheets drive the performance, aesthetic, and ethos that Arbor is known for. Several steps are taken to get a Powerply onto Arbor snowboards responsibly, and in a way that ensures durability and lasting quality.
Sidewalls
-
360° Fully Wrapped Sidewalls – Eliminates the need for tip fill, while effectively tying the whole snowboard together. A technology that delivers incredibly tight tolerances for improved board life and durability.
Base
- Sintered Base – A higher molecular weight, sintered base that provides added durability and speed.
Edges
- Recycled Steel Edges – Highly durable, recycled steel edges embody Arbor's key values: quality and sustainability.
- Factory Tuned – Arbor detunes the tip and tail contact points on all of their snowboards for a catch-free ride before they leave the factory.
Additional Features
- Wend Natural Wax – All Arbor snowboards hit the shop floor ready to ride with Wend Natural Wax.
- Bio Resin – Bio-Resin is a replacement for traditional petroleum based resin that doesn't affect performance or usability. The ingredients that go into it are sourced as co-products or waste products of other industrial processes and are manufactured employing green chemistry techniques that reduce the carbon footprint of the material by up to 40% when compared to its petroleum based equivalent.
- Manufactured With 100% Solar Energy
