Arbor Westmark Rocker Snowboard 2018

The Arbor Westmark Rocker is a repeat winner of the TWS Good Wood Award. It was designed to provide the flex and response you want while jibbing, without sacrificing the stability and pop you need for bigger gaps in the park and on the mountain. The Westmark is offered in both Camber System and Rocker System versions. The Arbor Westmark Rocker 2018 snowboard offers a more buttery ride, with natural float and cleaner tracking.  

Features

The System Rocker: The System Rocker: The System Rocker design provides a surfy ride, with natural float and cleaner tracking. This rocker deck's design eliminates the leverage required to release and re-engage a snowboard's outside contact points. In translation, riders get a seamless turn initiation, better float in powder, and more fluid spins and slides.

Parabolic Profiling: The System utilizes rocker and camber profiles created using the parabolic arc, which progressively reduces the amount of rocker or camber toward the tip and tail of a snowboard, creating nice low profiles. On our System Rocker designs, this ensures that 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 System Camber designs, this guarantees that 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.

Medium Flex: 6 (1=Soft, 10=Stiff)

True Twin: Symmetrical in all aspects, true twin boards are ideal for freestyle riding environments.

Flathead Tip: Provides more surface area for butters, ollies & nollies.

Grip Tech Contact Points: 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 us to deliver designs that don’t lose performance as we lift leading sections of the effective edge from the snow for a less grabby ride. Those designs include rocker, or camber with our new Uprise Fenders.

Ash Power Ply Top: The Power Ply works like an added layer of fiberglass. During construction, the natural wood or bamboo fibers are turned into a composite layer inside the board; but the process takes time. Raw timber must first be soaked so that it can be sliced or “veneered” into sheets, which are assembled into “faces,” then backed with a special fleece material, precision sanded, and pre-laminated to a protective foil, made in part from natural caster oil. The finished topsheet is at last ready to be built into a snowboard. In the end, the process makes Arbor Power Ply deigns the most labor intensive snowboards on the market. The resulting performance, board life, and finish quality are worth the extra effort, in addition to the reduction in our reliance on man made glues, coatings, and composites. 

2x4 14 Pack Inserts: Provide a wide stance range, while at the same time delivering critical micro adjustability.

360 Rails: 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.
