Hello, anybody out there have any experience with Arbor longboards?
I'm thinking of picking up a Bug 36 inch model, looks sweet.
It looks like it would be a great cruiser that is still okay for all around riding.
Thanks alot,
Rodel |

I've ridden the Arbor in the pic and it's constructed very well. Good cruiser. |

I have the Pintail 46" -- super nice board for crusing & mild downhilling. |

Thanks for the replies guys.
Any concave to this beast? Is the nose totally flat or is there some lift to it?

All of the Arbors have pretty deep concave. If you have seen a Dregs Pool Service, it's the same mold.
Arbor Web Editor wrote: All Arbor skates are designed with a concave profile and come with clear re-grip. The re-grip eliminates the need to cover the finish ply with tape.
Ian Taylor wrote: The awesome concave on this board also played a huge role. I'm going to say that that�s what really held me to the board and gave me that much control.
THWACK!!!
Take THAT Stubbs! |

So, did the Arbor you rode not have a kicknose like the one pictured? 'cause I checked it out at REI and it had a kicknose... like the picture above.
I don't think you can tell crap from the site's pictures... they appear to be comps, not actual boards. |
