Backcountry: This board would probably not excel in backcountry.Still, the camber is really fun to take off of jumps. Park: The swoon is not ideal for park in the sense that it has a little bit higher of a flex.Switch riding: It’s very fun and easy to ride switch on this board due to its twin profile.Weight: This board is super lightweight!.You definitely want to size down for tighter turns in trees with this specific board. Trees: Fun and poppy in trees, the Arbor Swoon is able to turn quickly and swiftly even in tight trees.The medium flex adds stability and confidence in the deep stuff. The camber on this thing provides effortless float that typically a rocker profile gives, so it really surprised me. Powder: The swoon excels in powder more than I would have expected because it is a camber board, which generally does better on groomers.Groomers: The Arbor Swoon provides a surfy, stable feel on groomers.The serrated edges also enable smooth turns on ice. Because the tips and tail are slightly raised, it does the work on some hard turns for you and this caught me off guard my first few times how effortless turning was, I basically didn’t have to work as hard for my carves. Turns: Smooth turns on this board, but the uprise fenders may take some getting used to if you’re learning from a flat profile board.It’s a little different and the edges are raised slightly higher, but once you learn it, it’s the best technology ever! They can take some getting used to at first. Edge hold: The uprise fenders provide an amazing edge control with a catch-free ride.

Just keep up with regular waxing for optimal performance. The board can lose its wax pretty quickly resulting in loss of speed. Speed: With a fresh wax on this board, this board gets up to a really nice speed with virtually zero chatter.I also really liked that they are an eco-friendly company. Uprise fenders are slightly raised edges on the tip and tail of the board so that when you turn, the board turns with you easier, enabling a catch-free ride. I decided to buy this board because I saw the different technology that Arbor offered, like their Uprise Fenders. I wanted something versatile enough for deep powder days without sacrificing on ice, terrain park or jumps. I wanted a new snowboard to tackle the fast, steep and long runs of Breckenridge, Colorado. Terrain: Powder, Park, Groomers, Backcountry, Ice.Where I’ve used it: Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail, A-Basin, Copper Mountain, Aspen Mountain, Winter Park, Eldora, Loveland.
