Arbor Kids

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do the Arbor Cavet and Arbor Votive kids' snowboards differ?

  Both the Cavet and Votive are youth directional-twin snowboards built with Arbor’s System Rocker and Grip Tech 2.25mm edges, pure poplar cores, extruded bases, and a soft flex for forgiving, progression-oriented riding. Differences are generally in sizing, graphics, and small layup or tuning choices between model runs, so check the size-specific specs (tip/waist widths, effective edge and recommended rider weight) to pick the one that best matches your kid’s stance and goals.
• What size Arbor kids' snowboard should my child ride?

  Choose by recommended rider weight and length first, then consider height and boot size for stance and stability; Arbor kids' sizes include 110cm, 120cm, and 130cm. As examples, the 120cm is commonly recommended around 34–104 lbs and the 130cm around 44–124 lbs, so select the size where your child’s weight falls in the board’s range for safe control and progression.
• What does System Rocker and Grip Tech 2.25mm do on these youth boards?

  System Rocker (parabolic rocker) creates a surfy, catch-free profile that makes turning and powder float easier for developing riders, while the 2.25mm Grip Tech contact points add subtle edge zones for improved bite on groomers. Together they balance playful maneuverability with reliable edge hold so kids can explore carving, slashes, and small jumps without frequent catches.
• Are Arbor Cavet and Votive good for progressing young riders and what terrain are they best for?

  Yes, both boards are designed for all-mountain progression, ideal for resort laps, groomer carving, natural features, and occasional powder play; the soft flex promotes easy turn initiation and forgiving landings. The directional-twin shape with a centered stance gives freedom to ride switch while still offering surfy float and stability for forward riding.
• What materials and sustainability features are used in Arbor kids' snowboards?

  Arbor’s youth boards use a pure poplar wood core, bio-resin biax glassing, extruded low-maintenance bases, 360° fully wrapped sidewalls, and recycled steel edges, and they come factory tuned with Wend natural wax. Manufacturing is noted as 100% solar-powered and the construction emphasizes durable, eco-conscious materials to reduce environmental impact.
