Arbor

Arbor started in 1995 with snowboards, and it has built its approach around sustainable materials ever since. It was the first to replace the standard plastic top with responsibly sourced wood veneer, and it has used bamboo, bio-plastic and recycled, reclaimed and renewable alternatives.

Old snowboards were soon repurposed into big wheelbase skates for bombing hills when there was no snow, which led to a skateboard line where Arbor pioneered bio-urethane.

Its softgoods are made for the journey to wherever you ride, with utilitarian design and a built-to-last approach. A portion of sales goes to its Returning Roots program.
