Arbor Crossbow
The Arbor Crossbow Snowboard is designed for the ideal big mountain and backcountry experience, allowing you to take on nearly any terrain or snow conditions with ease. The all-wood construction of the board provides the Crossbow the durability and sturdiness to take on the steepest of drops and thickest of powder. The progressive sidecut allows for pinpoint control and the carbon fiber strut keeps the chatter to a minimum. Reinforced sidewalls make turn initiations that much quicker and allow you to take off faster afterwards. The sintered base keeps the Crossbow moving quickly through any conditions, from the groomers to the steeps.
The Arbor Crossbow is noted for providing enhanced speed, more stability, next to no chatter, and incredible edge hold. The board is not for beginners though, requiring a substantial amount of rider input to make the same sharp, fast turns that a freestyle board makes more easily. In addition, The Crossbow is a little too stiff and edgy for use in the park. It is not made for park riding either. With the enhanced stability the board provides, speed is almost always higher. For tough runs and experienced riders, this is a must have. Sizes available include: 154cm, 158cm, 162cm, and 166cm.

If I could only own one board, this would be it!
I have ridden lots of boards and have done countless demo days where I get sent to ride a wide range of boards from all companies.
The minute I stepped on this mountain destroyer, I knew that I was on something special and not just a piece of dead wood with a bunch of fancy named Gimmicky features!
When you ride this thing you can charge and beat through any chop in front of you and when coming out of a turn it fires you like a dart as the board wants to spring back to it`s natural shape.
The only downfall and the reason that I would not give it a ten for it`s overall is that it is not forgiving, therefore stay away from rails and hitting big park jumps as if you are not Super clean you are Gonna slam big-time and wake up a long time later!
This said, I still love it more than any other board as the feel is second to none…and if you want a safe sport you can always take up Lawn Bowl`s Princess!
