2026 Arbor Metal Machine Decon Snowboard

Arbor Metal Machine Decon Snowboard – Simplified Power for Park and Street

The Arbor Metal Machine Decon Snowboard strips down the aggressive nature of the original Metal Machine to deliver a more accessible and forgiving ride. Designed for park laps, rails, and street sessions, this board retains the clean twin shape and camber profile but incorporates a softer core and durable extruded base. It's the perfect board for riders who want high performance without going full throttle.

The Metal Machine Decon is all about keeping things simple yet effective. Its camber profile gives you the pop and response you need, while the extruded base offers easy maintenance and durability. The twin shape ensures smooth switch riding and balanced performance, making it an ideal companion for riders looking to progress their park skills or hit the streets with confidence.

Decon Explained:
Decon boards are built with a simplified construction that removes extra layers to create a lighter, more natural flex and a more direct connection to the snow. They're designed to deliver a lively, responsive ride without sacrificing quality or performance.
