2026 Arbor Rain Snowboard

Arbor Rain Snowboard – Freestyle Power, All Gas No Brakes

The Arbor Rain Snowboard is a freestyle powerhouse built to dominate everything from resort jump lines to backcountry booters. Designed in collaboration with Pat Moore, the Rain is the next evolution of the Candle Collection, delivering the explosive pop, precision, and durability needed to push freestyle riding to the next level.

With a traditional camber profile and a true directional twin shape, the Rain is dialed for big landings, deep carves, and aggressive freestyle riding. It’s got the stability to handle high-speed approaches and the responsiveness to snap off the lip with confidence.

Key Features

• Shape – Directional Twin
  A directional twin shape gives the Rain the freestyle balance needed for switch riding, jumps and side hits, with extra drive and stability when riding in your natural direction. It is built for powerful freestyle riders who want a twin-style platform that can handle bigger resort and backcountry lines.
• Profile – Parabolic Camber
  Arbor’s parabolic camber gradually reduces towards the contact points, giving the Rain strong pop, edge hold and stability while keeping the ride smoother and more manageable than a harsh full camber profile.
• Flex – 7–8/10
  A stiff flex gives the Rain serious support for fast riding, heavy landings and powerful take-offs, making it better suited to confident riders who want a strong, precise freestyle board.

Tech Features

• Highland III Core
  Arbor’s premium Highland III Core uses a lightweight blend of poplar and paulownia to reduce weight while keeping the board strong, lively and stable for high-impact freestyle riding.
• Double Carbon Stringers
  Carbon reinforcement running from tip to tail increases pop, response and torsional strength, giving the Rain more power through take-offs, landings and high-speed riding.
• Real Wood Powerply
  Arbor’s signature real wood topsheet adds a natural finish and reduces reliance on synthetic topsheet materials.
• Mixed Glassing
  A blend of biaxial and triaxial fibreglass gives the board a balance of strength, response and torsional control for aggressive freestyle and all-mountain riding.

  A topsheet made with bio-based material to reduce reliance on traditional petroleum-based plastics while keeping the finish durable.

  Arbor’s bio-based resin system reduces petroleum content while maintaining strong bonding and board durability.
