We found Tyler riding a Hybrid GT in the skatepark last year and crushing it with his unique surf style. Within months he was in the hills with the crew, learning to ride downhill. Half a year later, he’s developed a skill set and comfortability at speed that puts plenty to shame. Arbor Skateboards is pleased to start supporting Tyler Howell.

Arbor’s chopped down swallowtail – the Sizzler, with its fat, functional, concave shape, kicked tail and nose, and tight wheelbase is ideal for slashing banks, powering down the line, or carving tight pocket turns.

Specs:
+ Length: 31.75″
+ Width: 9.00″

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 GLASS 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.
