2027 Arbor Padre Snowboard

The 2027 Arbor Padre is a love letter to Japanese snowboarding, built for perfect corduroy, bottomless powder and turns so deep your jacket brushes the snow. Its long, setback directional shape carries speed with a smooth, drawn-out rhythm, letting you open the board up across wide groomers, bank into natural terrain and paint huge surf lines through fresh snow. This is a board that yearns to be put on edge and held there.

A powerful Parabolic Camber profile gives the Padre the drive and edge hold to commit fully to every carve, while its Japanese-influenced gun shape keeps it stable, fast and beautifully composed through the turn. In powder, the long nose planes naturally while the setback stance lets the tail sink and steer from the back foot. It is precise, expressive and unapologetically directional, made for riders who see the mountain as one long wave waiting to be drawn out.
