2026 Arbor Padre Snowboard

Arbor Padre Snowboard – A Symphony of Precision, Power, and Low-Angle Mastery

The Arbor Padre Snowboard is a celebration of craftsmanship, engineered for riders who seek the thrill of dynamic carving, deep powder, and fluid, low-angle turns. Inspired by traditional Japanese snow-surfing, the Padre fuses timeless design with Arbor’s signature performance and sustainability, offering a ride that feels as natural as it is powerful.

Drawing from over fifty years of snow-surfing heritage, this board is crafted to excel in low-angle terrain, delivering high-performance, surf-style turns that hug the snow and feel effortlessly smooth. With its directional shape and camber profile, the Padre thrives on powder days but remains equally capable on groomers and hardpack, making it a versatile addition to any quiver.

The Arbor Padre embodies the essence of Japanese snow-surfing, bringing precision, float, and unmatched flow to low-angle powder fields and wide-open runs. Its tapered directional shape and powerful camber allow for deep, ground-hugging turns, while still providing edge hold and control on steeper terrain. Whether you’re chasing powder or carving fresh corduroy, the Padre delivers a fluid ride that feels like second nature.
