Arbor A-Frame Snowboard
love it

I wanted a new board, so I decided to demo every board I could. I tested boards from Ride, Burton, Arbor, and a couple others. I rode 14 boards in on day! The first was the A-Frame. I rode it for a few runs and thought 'wow!' Fast, responsive, does EXACTLY what you tell it to do. Then came the other 13 boards. The Burtons were okay (the new customs sucked, but the custom x was nice) I really wanted to like the day's last board, a Ride timeless. That board is a heavy floppy unmanageable mess. Thinking it was just me being tired, I went back for a last run on the A-Frame. Guess what? See above for a recap of the experience. Even after 13 other boards and a day of hard riding, I was fresh as a daisy on the A-Frame. I'm a convert.
