Description
Made in collaboration with evo Ambassador Erik Leon, the Arbor Relapse Snowboard is a park board for the people. This is a pro-caliber deck built to handle Erik's blend of park, street, and freestyle riding, but true to the mission of his C.O.R.E. Initiative, it's also super accessible for a wide range of riders. The soft flex and durable construction that do so well in the park also make it an easy board to learn to ride on, and it's relatively easy on the wallet, too.
Product Details
Rocker Type
System Camber – If you want a highly responsive ride, crisp on-edge performance, and more pop for carving and ollies - all with smoother camber performance - then System Camber shapes are for you. The camber progressively reduces toward the tip and tail, making the leading edge less aggressive for cleaner on-snow performance.
Flex
Flex Rating – 4 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Shape
Grip-Tech – A tri-radial sidecut design that is not "blended." Natural shaping intersections, that in the past were eliminated, have been transformed into heel and toe contact points that provide a direct, more ergonomic way to grip the snow when additional control is needed.
Core
Single Malt Core – Arbor's standard wood core constructed with 100% poplar for highly reliable return and long-lasting durability.
Laminates
Biax Glassing – A biax over biax lay–up that’s designed for park and street inspired all-mountain riding. Also creates a good platform for learning.
Sidewalls
360° Fully Wrapped Sidewalls – Eliminates the need for tip fill, while effectively tying the whole snowboard together. A technology that delivers incredibly tight tolerances for improved board life and durability.
Base
Extruded Base – A tough, user-friendly extruded base that delivers ease of repair.
Edges
Recycled Steel Edges – Highly durable, recycled steel edges embody Arbor's key values: quality and sustainability.
Factory Tuned – Arbor detunes the tip and tail contact points on all of their snowboards for a catch-free ride before they leave the factory.
Topsheet
Bio Plastic Topsheet – One of the materials Arbor uses in the quest to eliminate harmful petroleum based plastics from the production cycle. Made from castor bean oil, this eco-topsheet is extremely durable and water repellent.
Graphics
Art by DJ Javier – DJ Javier gives his craft back to his community, contributing to C.O.R.E and helping to tell Erik Leon’s story.
Additional Features
Bio Resin – Bio-Resin is a replacement for traditional petroleum based resin that doesn't affect performance or usability. The ingredients that go into it are sourced as co-products or waste products of other industrial processes and are manufactured employing green chemistry techniques that reduce the carbon footprint of the material by up to 40% when compared to its petroleum based equivalent.
Wend Natural Wax – All Arbor snowboards hit the shop floor ready to ride with Wend Natural Wax.
C.O.R.E. Ethos – Arbor Snowboards is proud to offer Erik Leon's Relapse snowboard in compliance with C.O.R.E. ethos. C.O.R.E. seeks to promote new participation, reduce barriers to entry, and inspire more sustainable manufacturing in snowboarding by offering quality, sustainably sourced products at a fair price, as well as subsidizing resort events with support from their retail partners.
