Arbor Ethos 2023 - 138cm

The Arbor Ethos is the starting point, a well-made, entry-level snowboard. Built on our Rocker System, the Ethos allows you to learn faster and turn more easily through the combination of a parabolic rocker profile and a softened flex pattern. From linking your first turns to progressing to steeper and more difficult terrain, the Ethos is the perfect board to take your riding to the next level. Clear windows in the base and topsheet see through to our sustainably sourced Single Malt Core. The Ethos reflects what we believe in: having fun, responsible construction, and real value.

Single Malt Core - Our standard wood core for highly reliable return and lasting durability. Made from 100% sustainably grown Poplar wood.
Extruded Base - A tough, user-friendly extruded base that delivers lighter-weight performance
Biax Glassing - A biax over biax lay-up that’s designed for park and street inspired all-mountain riding. Also creates a good platform for learning.
2x4 10-Pack Inserts
A 360 degree, fully wrapped sidewall that eliminates the need for tip fill, while effectively tying the whole snowboard together. A technology that delivers incredibly tight tolerances for improved board life and durability.

So this is a tricky area. A lot of variation based on riding style, ability, gender; some boards your ride a little shorter or longer than standard. But use this chart as a good basis, and feel free to get in touch about any specific board sizing for your needs.

To decide between two sizes, choose the smaller size if your priority is maneuverability and freestyle performance, choose the larger size if you're focused on riding fast and powder performance. A shorter board will be easier to turn and a longer board will offer better float and stability riding off-piste.
