2026 Arbor Rain Snowboard
The 2026 Arbor Rain is Pat Moore’s signature all-terrain powerhouse, built for riders who charge hard and demand stability when it counts. With a directional twin shape, full camber profile, and a stiff 7–8 flex, it’s engineered to go big—whether you’re lining up a booter, locking into a jump line, or navigating heavy landings in the backcountry. The Highland III Core and Double Carbon Stringers deliver explosive pop and reinforced takeoff-to-landing support, while the Mixed Glassing layup keeps it powerful and responsive across variable snow. Finished with Arbor’s Real Wood Powerply and Bio-Plastic Topsheet, the Rain blends natural style with the durability high-impact riding requires.

Camber Profile
- Camber (Parabolic Camber) – A full camber profile shaped with Arbor’s Parabolic Profiling, reducing the camber toward the tip and tail for smoother turn initiation, enhanced edge connection, and powerful stability on landings.
Flex
- Flex Rating: 7–8 – A stiff, high-response flex built for airtime, precision, and confidence on big features and fast, committed riding.
Shape
- Directional Twin – Balanced for freestyle performance with a slightly directional feel, offering stability at speed without sacrificing switch control.
Core
- Highland III Core – A 5/20 blend of paulownia and poplar engineered for maximum pop, reduced weight, and premium responsiveness—the lightest and highest-performance core in the Arbor line.
Laminates
- Mixed Glassing – A triax-over-biax lamination that increases torsional response and provides versatile performance across jumps, groomers, and variable terrain.
- Double Carbon Stringers – Two full-length carbon stringers add explosive pop, snap, and stomp-strength for heavy landings and big-feature confidence.
Sidewalls
- 360° Fully Wrapped Sidewalls – A fully wrapped construction that ties the board together for improved durability and precise manufacturing tolerances.
Base
- Sintered Base – A high-molecular-weight, durable sintered material that maintains speed, absorbs wax efficiently, and stands up to abrasion over a long lifespan.
Topsheet
- Real Wood Powerply – A sustainably sourced wood veneer that naturally enhances strength, snap, and board feel while giving each deck a one-of-a-kind aesthetic.
- Bio-Plastic Topsheet – Made from castor bean oil, this eco-friendly topsheet is durable, water-repellent, and helps replace petroleum-based plastics.
Resin
- Bio-Resin – A plant-based resin that reduces environmental impact by up to 40% compared to petroleum-based alternatives while maintaining high bonding strength.
Edges
- Recycled Steel Edges – Durable, sustainably sourced steel edges aligned with Arbor’s commitment to quality and environmental responsibility.
Additional Features
