Arbor Del Rey Snowboard Review

del-rey

$359
Intermediate to Expert Freestyle

Camber Twin Shape

2012 Good Wood Award Winner
The Del Rey is one of the remaining camber freestyle snowboards in Arbors line and Arbor proved that camber is still fun. Many core riders still swear by camber and so it's good to see the Del Ray hanging around. It's nice to have a freestyle board that can carve and pop off the tail/nose. Even though the Del Rey is low cost you still get a lot of board for the price that even an expert rider can appreciate. A beginner can ride this board as well but it's not as easy as a rocker board will be.  The Del Rey is the kind of board that is reasonably priced enough to beat on in the park or add to a quiver as a poppy technical freestyle board.

Company Information

Arbor Del Rey 2012

Updated technical info and profile video coming very soon!

Freestyle performance with aggressively priced value in a cambered true-twin package; the Del Rey is a dirty little park machine that was designed for wide-ranging, street-oriented riding: jumps, jibs, taps, rails, boxes, and babes - more fun than your first fake ID.

Artist: Joel Woodman

THE TOPSHEET

 

WOOD POWER PLY - Arbor’s wood Power Ply works like a 3rd layer of fiberglass - during construction resin locks the dense natural fibers in place, creating a composite layer that structurally enhances a board for added return and improved durability, while allowing for important weight reduction. The Power Ply technology allows Arbor to reduce our overall reliance on chemically treated fiberglass and petroleum-based resin by up to 20%.  The Power Ply is produced using sustainably sourced, natural wood veneer. The variance of real wood grain creates a one-of-a-kind look on each board made with this technology.

 

BIO-FILM - Every board in the Arbor line is now built with an ultra thin protective top foil made using 30% caster bean based bio-plastic.  This top sheet protects the board from damage caused by loose bindings, out-of-control skiers, or other unforeseen impacts.  Its natural glossy nature also eliminates the need for environmentally harmful clear coats.

 

WOOD CORE

 

MISSION CORE - Our most affordable core, built using a combination of FSC certified, sustainably produced poplar and a high-density composite that’s made with 30% reclaimed wood fiber for improved strength and reduced weight.

 

BASE

 

FUSION BASE - A tough, user-friendly extruded base that’s light and easy to repair.

 

SIDECUT

 

STANDARD PROGRESSIVE - A blended tri-radial sidecut design that provides tighter turning and quicker initiation, while maintaining stability at speed and during landings.

 

SIDEWALLS

 

RHYTHM RAILS - Made from an advanced blend of ABS and urethane; delivers durability, a clean, acoustically damp ride, and solid edge performance.

 

GLASS BALANCING

 

BUTTER GLASSING - A biax over biax lay-up that’s designed for park and street inspired all-mountain and urban riding

 

INSERTS

 

2X4 14-PACKS - An insert system that provides a wide stance range and amazing micro adjustability; used to create Arbor’s: 

 

Sumo Stance - Max Stance 25.2" / 64 cm

 

 

SHADOW FLEX

 

DEEP SHADOW - Delivers JIB and street performance.  A slight tapered thinning of the core profile between the bindings, improves: turn and spin initiation; tracking in mixed conditions, on the flats, and during landings; and performance on rails, boxes, and naturals.

 

EDGES

 

RECYCLED STEEL - Built with hardened steel edges made with 60% recycled steel; provides maximum edge performance.

 

2-YEAR WARRANTY

 

Every board in the Arbor line comes with a two-year warranty on material and workmanship.  We stand by everything we make.

 

Arbor Del Rey 2011

Camber-True Twin -Med Soft Flex

A versatile twin for all-aspect park-oriented performance; the Del Rey is our most aggressively priced power-ply design, yet it dominates big gaps, urban rails, and backcountry kickers - durability, performance, and ridiculous value.
