The Carter comes from the brutal and best conditions. From the mind, grit, and riding style of Mark Carter, its wider platform displaces volume for stable float without sacrificing the energy transmission and a reactive pop necessary for taking more tactical lines. The brand new Carter features a bit less tip and tail that will come back to you as underfoot stability in hardpack and a surfy board feel in powder. Yeehaw now. Wider waist = More Surface Area | We suggest you downsize 3-5cm from your preferred board length.

Features

• 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.
• 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.
• Double Barrel II Core - A progressive 1:2 Poplar and Paulownia blend with bamboo stringers running along the rails of the board for added torsional response and improved board control.
• Carbon Uprights - Two carbon fiber uprights running from the tip and tail to just past the inserts. A set up that provides added landing durability and pop for bigger park and backcountry performance.
• 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.
• 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.
• Sintered Base - A higher molecular weight, sintered base that provides added durability and speed.
• 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.
