Key Features

• Shape – Directional Twin
  A directional twin shape gives the Formula Decon a versatile resort feel, with enough balance for switch riding and freestyle progression plus a little extra support when riding in your natural direction.
• Profile – System Camber
  Arbor’s System Camber combines parabolic camber with lifted contact points, giving the board pop, edge control and stability while keeping turn initiation smoother and less catchy.
• Flex – 5–6/10
  A medium flex gives the Formula Decon enough response for carving and cruising, while still keeping it manageable for riders progressing across the resort.

Tech Features

• Highland Core
  Arbor’s poplar wood core keeps the board light, durable and consistent, giving the Formula Decon a smooth, lively feel without making it demanding underfoot.
• Biax Glassing
  A forgiving fibreglass layup that keeps the board smooth, easy to control and playful enough for everyday resort progression.
• Extruded Base
  A durable, low-maintenance base that is easy to repair and simple to look after, making it practical for regular resort riding.
• Grip Tech 2.25mm
  Additional contact points underfoot extend 2.25mm beyond the sidecut, giving the board stronger edge hold and better control on firm, icy or scraped-out snow.
• Fender 3º
  Arbor lifts the outer contact points by 3º to create smoother turn entry, reduce edge catch and make the board more forgiving through variable resort snow.
• 360º Fully Wrapped Sidewalls
  Full perimeter sidewall construction improves durability and helps protect the board through everyday use.
• Recycled Steel Edges
  Durable steel edges made with recycled content, giving the board reliable edge hold while reducing material impact.
• Wend Natural Wax
  Factory-applied natural wax gives the board glide straight out of the wrapper.
• Factory Tuned
  Arbor detunes the tip and tail at the factory for a smoother, more forgiving feel from day one.
