Arbor’s compact pin – the fish was designed with a hyper-extended wheelbase, timeless teardrop shape, and concave profile to provide both carve and downhill function. The Pintail allows the deck to finish the turn completly commetted, turn this deck as sharp as you want, it will not dump you. Completes include: Arbor 65mm 78a durometer street series wheels, Abec 5 bearings, and 9 Gullwing Chargers trucks.

Specs:
+ Length: 38.00″
+ Width: 8.75″
+ Wheelbase: 27.75″

KOA DECKS: made with seven plys of hardrock maple and a finish ply of Hawaiian Koa, all of which are sustainably sourced. Koa’s more densely packed fibers add important structure, which improves return, while providing a one-of-a-kind grain pattern on each deck. Koa wood was used by the Hawaiians to build the 1st surfboards over 600 years ago.

WOOD BY-PRODUCT: all wood by-product created during the production of our skateboards is reclaimed for use in other Arbor products or by outside companies. This allows Arbor to stretch an important resource, while helping to reduce the strain on landfills and forestlands.

RECYCLED GLA SS RE-GRIP: most Arbor decks are gripped with long-lasting crushed recycled glass. This ultra clear re-grip surface allows the deck’s natural grain and color to remain highly visible, while providing better performance than silica bead alternatives.

WATER BASED FINISHES: all Arbor skateboards are produced using a water-based sanding sealer and final finish to avoid polluting the air we breathe, especially when skating.

RECYCLED PLASTIC RISERS: all Arbor completes are shipped with recycled plastic risers, which allows us to reduce our dependence on petroleum-based plastics, while helping the effort to stop the proliferation of plastic pollution.

Arbor’s new drop-through model – This lowers the boards center of gravity to provide stability at speed with amazing carve and slide performance.
