Arbor Mantra Snowboard

Yes, it is an excellent choice for beginners through advanced intermediates. The forgiving flex rating of 5-6 out of 10 provides enough stability to learn on without being overly stiff or demanding, allowing you to progress your skills comfortably.

The System Camber profile provides a more traditional, poppy feel with reliable edge hold. It is designed to give you precise control when carving, making it easier to initiate turns and maintain stability on groomed runs.

Absolutely. The board features 2.25 mm Grip Tech contact points, which act like extra contact points underfoot to increase your edge hold. This design helps you maintain grip and confidence even when the snow is firm or icy.

A directional twin shape means the board is symmetrical in flex and sidecut, but has a slightly longer nose than tail. This gives you the versatility to ride switch comfortably while still providing better float and performance when riding in your primary direction.

Yes, a sintered base is faster and more durable than extruded bases, but it is porous and needs regular waxing to perform at its best. If you keep it waxed, it will retain speed much better and last longer over the life of the board.

The 3° fenders lift the edges slightly off the snow at the contact points. This helps prevent the board from feeling 'catchy,' making turn initiation smoother and reducing the likelihood of accidental edge catches while you are learning or riding at slower speeds.
