Arbor Candle Rain Camber tested by The Pill

The first of Arbor Collective’s Candles. Power and versatility that ignite your freeride spirit and unleash your full potential

Fresh snow, big mountain, resort. This Pat Moore-designed masterpiece is a directional twin that excels on any terrain. Combining traditional design with state-of-the-art eco-friendly materials, and a powerful Double Barrel II wood core, this board offers a dynamic platform for those riders who like to push. Arbor’s System Camber delivers a brilliant and highly responsive ride, with plenty of pop for carving and ollies. This unique shaping technique replaces the single-radius arc (found in traditional camber) with a more advanced parabolic profile; it fuses together five separate radii that progressively reduce toward the ends; reduced contact points avoid deep grooves in the snow, making the leading edge less aggressive. The result is smoother and “cleaner” performance on the edges. While suitable for advanced riders, this “permissive” solution dramatically reduces the gaps dictated by skill level, terrain and riding style. The sidecut profile allows the tail to sink into deeper snow promoting natural flotation in powder. Candle Rain Camber is a high-end all-mountain board that adds two carbon fiber struts to provide a solid base in landings and great performance when the going gets tough.
