The 2023 Arbor Annex Camber is the most technically advanced board in the Arbor line and the evolution of Bryan Iguchi's pro model snowboard. Combining super responsive construction and 20mm of taper with a stub tail, this board thrives both on and off the resort offering next-level response on all terrain imaginable thanks to Arbor's unique Grip Tech, Offset Fenders, and stiffer flex. If you are looking for a board that rides any terrain effortlessly, floats easily through powder, has strong edge hold, can handle big drops and even bigger slashes, the Annex is the pinnacle board of choice for you.
Board Type: Powder and Groomers
Camber Type: The Camber System
The Camber System from Arbor is a parabolic take on positive camber that progressively reduces the amount of camber towards the tip and tail. This ensures your contact points don't dig too hard into the snow, preventing edge catch, making it easier to turn and spin, and giving you a poppy ride with fully engaged performance.
Flex: 8/10 (1 = soft, 10 = stiff)
A mid-stiff flex that is perfect for hard charging riders that need to get the most from their boards, but still like it to have a bit of play.
Shape: Directional
This board has a directional shape, with a shorter tail and taper for smooth and powerful turns, with extra float in deep snow.
Tapered Tail
The shape of this board tapers slightly towards the tail helping it sink in powder, making the nose float better and keeping you on your feet.
Grip Tech
Grip Tech is a combination of three separate sidecut radii in the nose, tail, and centre of the board, effectively giving the board an additional two contact points. This provides extra grip and control in all conditions, and also makes turning smoother, easier, and less catchy, without losing performance.
Offset Fenders
Due to the addition of Grip Tech, it's possible to slightly lift the outside contact points, reducing catch and improving tracking and turn initiation.
Core: FSC Certified Double Barrel Core
The most versatile core from Arbor, the Double Barrel Core is made from Poplar reinforced with two Bamboo struts running down the centre of the board for lightweight longitudinal pop and easier turns.
Mixed Glassing
A Triax and Biax layup that provides superior versatility over standard Triax or Biax layups.
Base: Sintered Base
A high molecular weight base that provides extra durability and speed.
Mounting Pattern: 2x4 14-pack inserts
Additional Features:
Cross Vector Netting - Newly developed in board reinforcements create a more evenly distributed torsional power for increased response tip to tail.
Bio Plastic Topsheet - Made from Biobean Oil, it is an eco-friendly topsheet that is very durable and water resistant, as well as reducing the need for petroleum based plastics in the production of the boards.
360° Fully Wrapped Sidewalls - These 360° sidewalls eliminate the need for tip fill, enhancing durability and improving board life.
Recycled Steel Edges - These highly durable recycled steel edges promote sustainability without sacrificing quality.
Entropy Bio-Resin - This board is made with Entropy Bio-Resin, which is a replacement for traditional petroleum-based resin that doesn't affect performance. The ingredients that go into Entropy Bio-Resin are co-products or waste products of other industrial processes and reduces the carbon footprint of the material by up to 40% (when compared to a petroleum-based equivalent).
Wend Natural Wax - This board is waxed with Wend Natural Wax and is ready to ride straight out of the shop.
Factory Tuned - This snowboard is factory de-tuned at the tip and tail, so you can go riding straight away.
