2027 Arbor Padre Snowboard + 2026 Cypress Binding Package

First chair on fresh corduroy, carving big open turns while the mountain is still empty, then heading into the trees once the sun softens things up and the deeper snow starts calling. The Arbor Padre x Cypress package is built for exactly that kind of day. The Padre is a directional, cambered carving machine with a long nose, setback stance and enough shape to float properly when the snow stacks up, while the Cypress gives you the support and response to really drive the board when you start laying turns over or charging through deeper terrain.

This is not the setup for doing a bit of everything. It is for riders who care about carving hard, floating well and making good snow feel even better. On firm mornings it wants deep, committed turns and plenty of speed. When the snow gets soft or deep, the directional shape and freeride binding support let you keep pushing without the setup losing its composure. If your idea of a great day is big turns, deep snow and zero interest in the park, then look no further because you have found your new setup.

Tech Features

Snowboard

• Parabolic Camber: Full camber power with smoother engagement towards the tip and tail, giving the Padre strong edge hold and plenty of drive without making turn entry feel abrupt.
• Highland II Core: Lightweight Poplar and Paulownia core that keeps the board responsive and lively while maintaining dependable strength through harder riding.
• Mixed Glassing: A layer of triaxial fibreglass over a layer of biaxial fibreglass, giving the Padre the strength and response to drive hard through carves while retaining enough torsional flex to stay smooth through variable snow.
• Sintered Base: Fast, durable base with strong wax retention for carrying speed across groomers and through deeper snow.
• Real Wood Powerply: Sustainably sourced wood topsheet that adds structural strength while giving the Padre its distinctive natural finish.
• 360° Wrapped Sidewalls: Fully wrapped sidewall construction adds durability and helps tie the board together through hard, high-pressure riding.

Bindings

• System X Baseplate: Arbor’s X-shaped chassis directs rider input towards the four corners of the binding for stronger edge control and more direct power transfer.
• 30% Fibreglass Reinforced Baseplate: Stiffer construction that gives the Cypress the strength and response needed to drive a directional freeride board properly.
• 65A System X Outsole: Firmer TPE dampening layer that filters out high-frequency chatter while retaining strong rebound and response.
• Adjustable Aluminium Heelcup: Helps centre the boot in the binding while adding strength through the heel.
• BioStrap: Plant-based ankle and toe straps designed for secure hold with a low-profile, comfortable fit.
• Asymmetrical Freeride Highback: Pre-rotated for strong heelside support while retaining useful freedom of movement.
• 2x4 Mini Disc: Smaller mounting footprint reduces dead spots underneath the binding and helps the board flex more naturally.
