2026 Arbor Madre Snowboard – Women's
The 2026 Arbor Madre is a women’s snowsurfing tribute, born from over 50 years of Japanese surf-influenced turning and shaped for riders who live for flow. Sharing DNA with the men’s Padre, the Madre uses a setback directional outline, elongated gun profile, and traditional camber to carve low, fast arcs with effortless grace. Whether you’re laying out deep turns on groomers, slicing low-angle pow, or exploring creative freeride lines, the Madre transforms turning into an art form and the mountain into a canvas.

Camber Profile
- Traditional Camber – A classic full-camber profile that delivers strong edge hold, responsive energy return, and precise control for riders who want power and stability in their turns.
Flex
- Flex Rating: 6–7/10 – A medium-stiff flex built for powerful carving, stability at speed, and confident freeride performance on varied terrain.
Shape
- Directional – 8mm Taper – A long nose and tapered tail mirror traditional Japanese snowsurfing designs, enhancing float, drive, and smooth fall-line turning.
- 1.5° Fenders – Subtle 3D shaping that lifts the contact points for easier turn initiation and improved float without reducing the precision of full-length camber.
- Grip Tech (1.25mm) – Additional heel and toe contact points create direct, ergonomic edge engagement for reliable grip in firm and variable snow.
Core
- Highland II Core – A lightweight, lively blend of poplar and paulownia engineered for responsiveness, strength, and smooth flex throughout the board.
Laminates
- Mixed Glassing – A triax-over-biax fiberglass layup that balances torsional rigidity and maneuverability, ideal for freeride carving and smooth powder flow.
Base
- Sintered Base – Durable and fast, this high-density base material absorbs wax well and maintains speed across varied snow conditions.
Additional Features
- 360° Fully Wrapped Sidewalls – Full-perimeter protection increases durability and ensures consistent performance over the board’s lifetime.
- Real Wood Powerply – Natural wood veneer adds strength, responsiveness, and a unique visual identity to every deck.
- Bio-Plastic Topsheet – Castor-bean-based topsheet that improves durability and water resistance while reducing petroleum use.
- Bio-Resin – Eco-conscious resin system that reduces environmental impact by up to 40% without sacrificing structural integrity.
- Recycled Steel Edges – Durable, sustainably sourced edges built to handle freeride terrain and aggressive carving.
- Factory Tuned – Tip and tail contact points come pre-detuned for smooth, catch-free performance right out of the wrapper.
- Wend Natural Wax – Factory-applied wax ensures the board is ready to ride immediately.
