DEFENDERS OF AWESOME

The Defenders of Awesome series has a big reputation and these boards have earned it. As winners of the most coveted design award in snowboarding five years in a row, this highly sought after series has won a Transworld Good Wood Award every single year of its existence. Truly undefeated, the DOA is one of the best in the game and has the accolades to prove it. It may not be necessary to spend our time trying to improve perfection, but at The Mothership there’s no time for sleep. The Defenders of Awesome series features a next-generation hybrid-camber design which delivers the pop and response of a cambered board with the predictability of reverse-camber. With an all-new fiberglass and resin configuration, as well as an upgraded Superdrive™ base material, the ultimate go anywhere, do anything freestyle deck just got even better.

With legendary status as an all-terrain slayer, The CAPiTA Black Snowboard of Death is always evolving. In fact, the only element that has remained the same over the last eighteen years is the name itself. The Black Snowboard of Death has been refined within its anytime, any place, any condition, all-mountain design mantra which made it famous from the beginning. With a balanced presentation of a directional shape, the custom-designed hybrid camber allows for incredible control—making you a better snowboarder in variable terrain and changing conditions. The model features a new FSC® Certified FC Hover Core™ with embedded Forged Carbon Power Rods™ and new Amplitex™ V-Tech Amplifiers to retain longitudinal power while achieving a desirable flex for advanced all-mountain terrain. Combine those attributes with a carbon formulated HyperDrive™ base featuring a factory-direct Moonshot Pro-Tune™ race base structure, and The Black Snowboard of Death once again stands as one of the most advanced snowboards available.

Bryan Iguchi Pro Camber

Described as a "quiver killer" by Bryan Iguchi, the Arbor Bryan Iguchi Pro Camber Snowboard offers everything you need for long days carving, slashing, floating and pointing it. Its camber system provides a snappy, energetic ride with a powerful feel and combines with a non-symmetrical twin shape and stiff flex for a dynamic and confidence-inspiring platform that'll perform at the highest levels in freeride terrain.

“I wanted to design a board that worked for my style of riding…a daily driver, or “quiver killer”. Its roots are purely freestyle driven, but my riding has evolved. The design is inspired with the intention to perform well in all conditions. I wanted to have the ability to fully commit to carving as hard as possible, yet allow forgiveness in the entry and exit of each turn, regardless of how subtle or dynamic. I spend a lot of time in the backcountry searching for powder but in reality, I still can’t pass up a good wall hit at the resort or resist the urge to blast a method out of a good transition I come across. I love it because I can have fun on it on any mountain in any condition.” -Bryan Iguchi

The Bryan Iguchi Pro is available in both Rocker System and Camber System technologies. The Camber System design offers a poppy ride with crisp, fully engaged performance.

INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED

The Cosa Nostra is the most versatile, Rocker System gun in the line. Don't let appearances fool you, the Cosa Nostra will ride very similarly to your standard Rocker System snowboard with added float in powder thanks to a setback stance, reclined rocker profile and elongated nose. This board excels in the trees, through the park, and up into the steeps with remarkable adaptability. The Cosa Nostra dons a classic Maple Power Ply topsheet and performs at the top of its class thanks to a fast and durable sintered base. Stainless steel tip and tail protectors complete the package by adding unmatched durability to this Arbor classic

The board that put Arbor on the map, and still one of their best sellers, the Arbor Element Snowboard and its distinctive Walnut topsheet deliver top shelf performance in any conditions. Tweaked slowly over the seasons, the Element now incorporates the Knucklehead tip profile for added float in powder as well as the high-performance bamboo-reinforced Double Barrel core. If you're in your element when it's cold and deep, adding the Arbor Element to your quiver will make it that much more RIGHT.

The Helix is a Rocker System twin designed for younger riders. We've implemented the same technologies and materials used on our best-selling boards in a youth model to create a premium, all-around snowboard that exemplifies all of Arbor's steadfast values: craftsmanship, quality, and performance. A soft flex paired with parabolic rocker and grip tech contact points aids progression by giving you increased board control across a variety of conditions.

For a super stable and responsive ride on the whole mountain, look no further than the Arbor Swoon Camber Snowboard. It's designed with Thunderhead Tips for speed and versatility, plus a Camber System for a more crisp and poppy ride. Intermediate to expert riders looking for unparalleled performance at speed through a wide variety of conditions should look towards the Arbor Swoon Camber Snowboard.
