Shred terrain parks and carve like a pro with the Arbor Erik Leon Relapse snowboard. Built for freestyle dominance, this twin-shaped board boasts a mid-soft flex that's perfect for jibbing, buttering, and throwing down creative tricks. The secret to the Relapse's versatility lies in its innovative Parabolic Camber System. This design incorporates true camber underfoot for explosive pop and precise edge control, but gradually reduces camber towards the tip and tail. This allows for a smoother, catch-free feel during presses and butters while retaining the pop and power needed for freestyle maneuvers. For confident control on any feature, the Relapse features a Grip-Tech Sidecut. This unique design adds four extra contact points along the edges, enhancing stability and responsiveness. Combined with Up-Rise Fenders that elevate the outside edges, Grip-Tech allows for easier spins and quicker turns without sacrificing edge control, even on a true camber profile. Arbor doesn't just focus on performance they're committed to sustainability. The Leon Relapse is built with FSC-certified wood and bamboo, utilizes solar power in production, and supports forest restoration projects with a portion of every sale. So grab a Leon Relapse and experience a board that prioritizes both freestyle fun and environmental responsibility.
The System: Parabolic Camber - Arbor Camber System is a true camber design that progressively reduces the amount of camber from a lower center point out to softened tip and tail transitions for improved snow dynamics. The design offers a buttery ride, while maintaining the pop of real camber.
Grip-Tech Sidecut - A sidecut design that creates four additional contact points under foot for significantly improved, more direct edge control. The new contacts also create heel and toe pivot points that make turning faster and more efficient. Grip-Tech enables Arbor to offer a "True-Rocker" profile with powerful edge control, and thus preserve the full range of associated performance benefits. Grip-Tech also allows riders with larger feet (up to US men's 12) to ride standard width shapes.
Up-Rise Fenders - Up-Rise Fenders are built-in bevels that lift a snowboard's outside contact points off the snow for a cleaner, catch-free ride. When partnered with Grip Tech for edge control, Up-Rise Fenders allow for easier spinning and turning on a true camber design.
FSC Certified Highland Core - Arbor's highest-end core, made from a blend of estate grown poplar and paulownia to provide the lightweight performance ideal for backcountry and powder.
Biax Glassing - A biax over biax lay-up that's designed for fun all mountain cruising, great to learn on.
Extruded Base - A tough, user-friendly extruded base that's light and easy to repair.
360° Full Wrap Sidewalls - An advanced blend of ABS and urethane; deliver durability and a clean, acoustically damp ride.
Recycled Steel Edges - Built with hardened steel edges made using 60% recycled steel; provides maximum edge performance.
Bio Plastic Topsheet - One of the materials Arbor uses in their quest to eliminate harmful petroleum-based plastics from their production cycle. Made from CastorBean Oil, this eco-topsheet is extremely durable and water repellent.
Factory Tuned - Arbor detunes the tip and tail contact points on all snowboards for a catch-free ride before they leave the factory.
Wend Natural Wax - All Arbor Snowboards hit the shop floor ready to ride with Wend Natural Wax.
Arbor Sustainability - Arbor practices improving sustainable manufacturing. They work with FSC wood and bamboo materials, use solar power for 100% of their production line, focus on the most sustainable/recycled components and donate a portion of every sale to forest restoration projects.
3 Year Warranty - Covered under manufacturer warranty for 3 years from the time of purchase! Warranty includes structural defects only and DOES NOT cover impact damage, abuse, misuse or normal wear and tear expected from aggressive riding.
Sorry folks, but bashing your board on a rock or rail does not qualify as a "manufacturer's defect" and will not be honored.
