Arbor Company Review

Arbor has made a huge leap for longboarding and I’ll tell you how. In 1995 Arbor was founded and they decided unlike the companies that used wood (Which Arbor does, but they use as little as possible) they wanted to improve the performance of a longboard, and make it environmentally friendly and they’ve done just that. Arbor was one of t he first board companies to even think about helping the environment, and that’s no longer no true.

Arbor makes a lot of their boards out of Bamboo, which is a weed and grows up to 4 feet a week! not only does it grow super fast but it’s super durable and flexible just like wood. Arbor isn’t totally based on bamboo however they bought a certain ammount of land and those are the only trees they use. Not only does arbor make some of their boards from bamboo but they make their wheels with a special soybean based polyurethane rather than normal polyurethane which is not only good for the environment but provides great grip.

ARBOR FLEX SERIES: The flex series is great for carving and getting around town I’ve tried all of the flex series boards, and I was very pleased. All of the flex boards as you might have guessed have an excellent flex. Flex and return gives A great feel for both riding the streets and carving at the parks.

ARBOR CARVER SERIES: The carver series as you might have guessed is excellent for carving! the carving series has a lot of flex and a long wheelbase for nice, smooth long turns for the perfect carving experience. I’m not much of a carver but i tried one board from the carver series and even though i couldn’t go car ve down at the parks (it was a shop demo) they turned so nice i almost didn’t give it back.

ARBOR STREET SERIES: The street series is great for riding over rough street terrains because of the way they’re made, they’re bigger and wider which means you can have bigger and wider wheels which will roll over anything in your path. The street is also great for downhill racing, but they have a whole other section just for downhill these are great arbor longboards.

ARBOR TRANNY SERIES: The Arbor tranny series is great for quarter pipes, bowls, or any transition you want really. The tranny series is great because of it’s small wheelbase which makes kickturns super easy while giving you a wide boardsurface to help keep you from falling. The Arbor tranny’s are also made with a recycled glass grip, like a lot of our arbors but the recycled glass is good for the environment and provides superior grip.

ARBOR MINI SERIES: The Minis are great for getting around town especially if you have to be somewhere where you have to pick up, they’re so small and compact that you can just pick them up and carry it wherever you want! whether you’re going to a store, the mall, or even a friends house you can pick it up and stash it anywhere. Not to mention the pinpoint turning and speed that these little boards can give you.

ARBOR ROLLER SERIES: The roller series was made for downhill racing. The rollers are super huge and have a huge wheelbase which gives you excellent stability at high speeds. the roller series is also great for cruising around town at high speeds. The roller series also comes with recycled glass grip like most of our other exceptional arbors.
