Arbor Men’s Bryan Iguchi Pro Camber Snowboard 2023 Arbor

When Bryan Iguchi set out designing his flagship model, he was looking to design a snowboard capable of “having fun on it on any mountain in any condition” coming into its 6th season, the time tested relevance, timeless appearance, and shape keeps it a top choice for the top of the mountain.

Profile: Camber
Terrain: Powder/Resort
Response: Responsive

Features:

• Hand Dyed Ash Powerply
  
• R.A.P. Topless Technology: A build process in which we the need for Bio-Plastic Topsheet is eliminated, creating a lighter, more eco-friendly ride.
• Double Barrel Core: Arbor’s most versatile core, constructed with a 1:2 blend of poplar and paulownia, for super light weight performance, durability, and return.
• Mixed Glassing: A triax over biax 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).
• 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.
• .15cm Taper
• Wend Natural Wax

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

A smooth, reliable ride.

Directional shapes generally feature a longer, softer nose and a shorter, stiffer tail. These shapes thrive in an all-mountain environment, as they possess the ability to ride more smoothly than their twin-tip counterparts and behave more reliably in variable snow conditions, anywhere from choppy snow to deeper powder. More twin-looking directional shapes where the difference between nose and tail appear minimal will perform best as crossover freestyle snowboards for those looking to still access the park, while more exaggerated differences will excel for additional float in deep powder.

Flex: 7 (Scale 1 – 10)

Powerful balance for big mountain riding.

Base: Sintered

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