Wood Power Spine
Arbor's sustainably sourced, inlaid wood Power Spine works like carbon fiber – tuning the board to improve return in target zones within the flex pattern. The Power Spine is one of the System Set of Technologies. Please refer to "The System" section for more details. Arbor's wood and bamboo Power Plys work 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%.
