Arbor Draft Snowboard 2026

The Snowboard

The Draft is Arbor's entry into true twin park territory — a soft-flexing, butter-friendly board built around jibbing rails, lapping the park, and messing around on whatever looks fun. It's not a race board or a powder machine. It's a trick board, plain and simple, and it's really good at being exactly that.

If you're building a quiver and want something dedicated to the park at Seven Springs, or you're a newer rider who wants a forgiving board to learn on, the Draft fits both scenarios well. Browse our full selection of snowboards if you're still narrowing things down — there's a lot out there and we're happy to help sort through it.

Who It's For

This one suits riders who are progressing through park — learning to hit boxes, getting comfortable on rails, working on presses and butters in the flats. The soft flex makes it approachable. Landings are more forgiving. Nose and tail presses come easier. Advanced chargers who spend most of their time on hardpack groomers or variable Pennsylvania ice will probably want something stiffer with a little more edge grip underfoot. The Draft is built for park-focused riders in the beginner-to-intermediate range, and it does that job honestly.

Tech That Matters

True Twin Shape — nose and tail are identical, so riding switch feels exactly the same as riding regular. That matters a lot once you start working on switch tricks.

Parabolic Rocker Profile — the board has a continuous rocker through the middle with flat sections near the contact points. Loose and skatey in the flats, but you still get enough edge hold to not wash out on groomers.

Grip Tech Contact Points — small raised sections at each corner of the board that give you more edge contact right where you need it. Basically helps the rockered shape hold a carve better than a pure rocker profile would.

Poplar Core — lightweight and lively. Gives the board enough snap to pop off lips and launch into tricks without feeling dead underfoot.

Arbor's System Construction — keeps the build consistent and the price accessible. Arbor has been doing this long enough to know how to get a lot of performance out of a straightforward construction.

Sizing

The Draft runs in 148, 152, 155, and 156cm. Softer boards like this generally ride best at or slightly shorter than typical height-based recommendations — shorter gives you more control in the park and makes pressing easier. See the size table below.
