21/22 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A strongly directional tapered board that translates the feel of a single-fin surfboard to snow, with a distinctive back-foot-driven steering feel. It tends to be seen as a powder board only, but it performs excellently carving groomers and delivers consistent edge grip on hard snow too.
It suits advanced riders who prefer a directional surf style, as an original one-board quiver.
A closer look
These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.
Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Directional camber
A directional camber construction running from the back binding past the front binding. 'Fender Uprise Technology' is applied only at the nose, running long and mellow, while the tail has none, maintaining traditional camber's grip and stability.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium to medium-stiff flex, with a comparatively soft nose and a slightly stiffer tail. Buttering (especially nose tripods) is difficult, and while pop energy is good it takes some force to access — a slightly damp character.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Advanced
Very strongly directional with a large setback and back-foot-centred steering, it suits advanced riders or highly athletic intermediates. Its characteristics are hard for beginners and intermediates to handle.
What the review liked
- ✓A distinctive back-foot-driven surfy feel gives it outstanding performance carving groomers
- ✓Grip Tech provides consistent grip on hard snow with no edgeless or washy feeling
- ✓The big nose and large setback give it excellent powder float and turn response
- ✓The Uprise fender technology works more effectively in powder than on other Arbor boards
- ✓A stable, non-chattery ride for its size
What the review found lacking
- —The nose Fender Uprise makes nose butters and tripod tricks very difficult
- —The pop is somewhat damped and takes time to get used to
- —The small board size makes it bouncier on bumpy terrain than other tapered boards
- —Its performance in deep powder hasn't been sufficiently verified
