Lots of more experienced snowboarders who rode a snowboard before the “Great Reverse Camber Boom” of 2009 have been a gradually but steadily returning to good ol’ camber. Nobody can deny that rocker is a ton of fun, but when it comes to pop, edge hold and back-seat landings, there’s nothing quite like having a cambered board under your feet. The appropriately named Arbor Relapse is a reference to the old way of building boards, but with most up-to-date materials and technologies. The Relapse has a soft to medium flex and a twin shape so it’ll be at home in the park, the mid-wide waist caters for those with a US size 10 to 12 boot.
The ideal mid-wide jump board for the more seasoned park rider; the Relapse provides massive amounts of power and durability for anyone committed to or coming back to camberbased riding. Expect old school ollie, spin, take-off and landing performance.
