Details The Arbor Swoon Snowboard is a big mountain twin (directional twin flex) board for the experienced woman seeking high-level, all-mountain freestyle performance. It's lively pop and balanced board feel are essential to navigating steep, technical terrain, and anyone can expect great float in soft and mixed snow with improved control in the steeps and at high speed on this board. The experienced rider will feel the Swoon's potential at speed, intuitive maneuverability through tight trees and off-piste terrain, and amazing float. Its versatility also makes it an excellent choice for the devoted beginner or adventure-seeking intermediate, who will appreciate the Swoon's stability and balanced feel. The new RAP topless topsheet shaves 8-10% of the weight from past season models. Flex Rating (1 = soft, 10 = most responsive) 5 Suggested Use All-Mountain, Big-Mountain, Powder Camber / Rocker Style Arbor Camber System The Camber System design offers a poppy ride with crisp, fully engaged performance. The System is Arbor's principal design platform. Arbor developed The System to improve true rocker and camber designs by maintaining the integrity of both platforms without fusing either into a hybrid design. Their belief is that hybridization sacrifices some of the inherent benefits of each design philosophy. The System is an advanced rocker and camber design that improves upon the benefits of each platform depending on the needs of each rider. Whether you prefer the crisp, fully engaged performance of camber or the surfy, butter feel of rocker, The System creates a clean, effective connection to the snow, delivering a smooth ride with enhanced control. The System is a blending of two technologies: Grip Tech and Parabolic Profiling. Grip Tech Grip Tech is a tri-radial sidecut design that is not "blended." Natural shaping intersections, that in the past were eliminated, have been transformed into heel and toe contact points that provide a direct, more ergonomic way to grip the snow when additional control is needed. The extra contacts also form pivot zones that make turning easier and more natural. Grip Tech effectively moves a board's primary interface with the snow underfoot, allowing for designs that don't lose performance as they lift leading sections of the effective edge from the snow for a less grabby ride. Those designs include rocker, or camber with the new Uprise Fenders. Uprise Fenders pull the outside contact zones off the snow with angled 3° risers on all Camber System designs. Parabolic Profiling The System utilizes rocker or camber profiles created using the parabolic arc, which progressively reduces the amount of rocker or camber toward the tip and tail of a snowboard. This creates low, more effective profiles. On Arbor Rocker System designs, parabolic profiling ensures the outside contact points are close enough to the snow to engage when maximum performance is required- higher speeds, fully loaded turns, and bigger landings. On Camber System designs, this guarantees the outside contact points do not dig too far into the snow, creating a cleaner, less catchy performance that makes it easier to turn, spin, and ride fast. Shape Big Mountain Twin (Directional) Core Material FSC Certified Double Barrel II Core Poplar to Paulownia blend with bamboo stringers running down the center of the board for added longitudinal pop and unmatched board control. Construction R.A.P. Topless Technology A build process in which the need for a Bio-Plastic Topsheet is eliminated, creating a lighter, more eco-friendly ride.

Bio Resin Starting with the 2020 line Arbor is proud to announce that all Powerplys and R.A.P. Topless Tech veneers will be made with Entropy Bio-Resin, a replacement for traditional petroleum based resin that doesn't affect performance or usability. The ingredients that go into Entropy Bio-Resin 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). Three Year Warranty Manufactured with 100% Solar Energy Edges 360 Degree Fully Wrapped Sidewalls A 360-degree, fully wrapped sidewall that eliminates the need for tip fill, while effectively tying the whole snowboard together.
