Arbor Men’s Annex Camber Wide Snowboard 2024 Arbor

The Arbor Annex explores a beautiful middle ground of pinnacle performance and technical terrain with comfortable, precise edging in bounds. Feel the Carbon Vector Net inlay provide a powerful torsional rebound and unmatched response on all terrain. The Annex’s unique elongated nose and tapered outline coupled with the proprietary System Camber and 3D fender technology make this board ride almost as good as it looks.

Profile: Camber
Terrain: All-mountain/Powder
Response: Responsive

• Offset Fender 5° Nose/ 3° Tail: Unlike “early rise” or a “rockered” nose/tail transition zone, Arbor’s Fenders create smoother performance, without shortening the camber section of the board. As a result, you get a clean ride without any loss of the pop and performance that comes from full-length camber.
• Vector Netting: Newly developed Carbon Vector Net reinforcements create evenly distributed torsional power and accelerated response from tip to tail.
• Mixed Glassing: A Tri-ax over Bi-ax lay up that’s best for versatility; pow, backcountry, groomers, jumps, and more.
• Bio-Resin: All Powerplys and R.A.P. Topless Tech veneers will be made with Bio-Resin, a replacement for traditional petroleum based resin that doesn’t affect performance or usability. The ingredients that go into 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).
• Double Barrel II Core: A progressive 1:2 Poplar and Paulownia blend with bamboo stringers running along the rails of the board for added torsional response and improved board control.
• Factory Tuned: Arbor detuned the tip and tail contact points on all of their snowboards for a catch-free ride before they leave the factory.
• 360* Fully Wrapped Sidewalls: A 360–degree, fully wrapped sidewall that 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
• Recycled Steel Edges: Highly durable, recycled steed edges embody two
  of Arbor’s key values, quality and sustainability.
• Wend Natural Wax: All Arbor snowboards hit the shop floor ready to ride with Wend Natural Wax.
• 2 x 4 14 Pack Inserts
• 1.9cm Taper
• 3-Year Warranty
• Manufactured with 100% Solar Energy
• Curly Maple Stringer Powerply
• Wide: for riders with 11.5+ boots

Profile: Camber

Precision, control and pop. 

The side profile of camber looks like a rainbow. Tried and true, camber has been the dominant board bend in the snowboard industry for almost 40 years. Adopted from the bend of alpine skis, camber snowboards deliver precise turning and edge control, with spring-loaded pop due to the bend in the board, providing better jumping characteristics. Advanced riders tend to prefer this bend, especially for hard carving and high-speed riding. Even when it comes to softer park snowboards, camber boards deliver exceptional pop and control.

However, they are not as forgiving of mistakes and can be more difficult to learn or progress on than a rocker or hybrid bend.

Shape: Directional Tapered

Directional tapered boards excel in a pure mountain environment. The tail sinks in pow for better float and quicker turns.

A directional shape with a longer, softer nose and a shorter, stiffer tail get taken to the next level with a tapering design—which sees a wider nose tapering into a narrower tail. The advantages are two-fold: this shape not only sees mega-enhanced floatation with a surfy feel in deep powder, it also creates a faster turning snowboard which is noticeably more nimble and great for tree riding.

Flex: 8 (Scale 1 – 10)

Power, Precision, Control.

Base: Sintered

A higher molecular weight, sintered base that provides added durability and speed.
