2027 Arbor Rain Snowboard
The 2027 Arbor Rain is a high-performance all-mountain snowboard built for riders who want powerful camber response, explosive pop, and the confidence to ride fast across the mountain. Built around a Directional Twin shape and Parabolic Camber profile, the Rain combines precise edge control with the balanced feel needed for park lines, jumps, and all-mountain freestyle riding. A stiff 7–8/10 flex, Highland III Core, and nose-to-tail Carbon2 stringers create powerful snap and high-energy response, while Mixed Glassing and a Sintered Base provide the support, speed, and durability needed for aggressive riding. From locked-in takeoffs and stable landings to high-speed laps across open terrain, the Rain is built for riders who want to push harder everywhere on the mountain.

Camber Profile
- Parabolic Camber: A parabolic profile with five blended radii allows the leading and trailing edges to engage and release more smoothly, enhancing flow and control.
Flex
- Stiff Flex – 7–8/10: A powerful, responsive flex provides the support and stability needed for aggressive riding, high speeds, jumps, and hard charging across the mountain.
Shape
- Directional Twin: A directional twin shape combines balanced freestyle handling with the confidence and control needed for aggressive all-mountain riding.
Core
- Highland III Core: A 5/20 Poplar-Paulownia blend uses Arbor's highest ratio of Paulownia to Poplar for reduced weight and higher-performance response.
Laminates
- Carbon2: Dual nose-to-tail carbon stringers boost pop, create powerful snap, and add high-energy performance.
- Mixed Glassing: A triax-over-biax fiberglass layup provides versatile response and support across groomers, powder, backcountry terrain, jumps, and more.
Base
- Sintered Base: A higher molecular weight sintered base provides increased durability and speed.
Additional Features
- Real Wood Powerply: Sustainably sourced wood and bamboo veneer uses natural fibers to contribute power, strength, longevity, and a unique aesthetic to each board.
- 360° Fully Wrapped Sidewalls: Fully wrapped sidewalls eliminate the need for tip fill while tying the entire snowboard together for tight tolerances, durability, and improved board life.
- Bio-Plastic Topsheet: A durable, water-repellent topsheet made from castor bean oil helps reduce the use of petroleum-based plastics.
- Bio-Resin: A lower-impact alternative to traditional petroleum-based resin reduces the material's carbon footprint by up to 40% without compromising performance or usability.
Binding Compatibility
- 2x4 14-Pack Inserts: A 14-pack 2x4 insert pattern provides broad binding compatibility and multiple stance adjustment options.
