2026 Arbor Madre Snowboard

Arbor Madre Snowboard – Precision and Power for Women Who Love to Shred

The Arbor Madre is a women’s-specific directional board built for fast lines, deep carving, and powerful freeriding. Designed with a traditional powder gun silhouette and Arbor’s System Camber profile, the Madre delivers edge hold, drive, and float without compromise.

Taking inspiration from Japan’s rich snow-surfing culture, the Madre blends classic shaping with modern construction for a responsive ride that feels smooth at speed and locked-in when you lay it over. The setback stance and tapered outline add stability in powder and precision in aggressive terrain, giving riders full control across big-mountain faces and technical descents.

Finished with eco-conscious materials and Arbor’s signature craftsmanship, the Madre is made for women who want to ride fast, carve deep, and leave a line worth remembering.
