    The arbor board that I have is pretty stiff. Although it's pretty tiny (sub 30") so I don't really mind it.

    I tried out a few Arbors before I got my Sector 9 pintail. I actually liked the S9 better because it was stiffer. The art on Arbor decks is the coolest.

    ive got 3 arbor decks. i love em so much! the waterman is a really good deck if you want something flexy. its my favorite board. i also have the fleetwood, which is a great board for cruising the beach. the 3rd board is the arbor oso, a great little tiny 29 inch board. great for the bowls, not a huge fan of hitting hills on boards smaller than 42 inches..


    venice local company, distributed by s9. owned by seperate people, but s9 does help a bunch with arbor. just in production and distribution. r & d done by arbor

    6' 220 and the Bamboo Blunt represents in my quiver. I like it enough that it doesn't gather dust as it gets it's turn in the rotation once or twice a week.

    i have an arbor koa blunt. its gorgeous and the graphic is rad as sh!t. its a great board for general cruising/minor carving with the chargers. it even pumps a little bit but its 100% stiff. does feel a little "dead." i like it though! its got a big kicktail which is sweet. dont get one if you intend on tight and responsive carving

    I have an Arbor Fleetwood. I find that its stiff but like you said has a great response to carving and it is good for some coleman slides and cruising. I have a really small kicktail. Good board though.

    I have a Fleetwood, and I feel that it flexes plenty for me (5' 10", 200#). I did have to change out the Revenge trucks. Way to loose when you get up to speed.

    I own two Arbor's. My first was the Koa Blunt with chargers and my second was the Cross Step. The blunt is very stiff with a shorter wheelbase than what I like and the trucks do not carve well with the stock bushings, my girl prefers to ride the blunt. The cross step is rockered with good flex, I ride the revenge trucks as loose as possible and get no wobbles up to 25-30mph. The top laminate on the cross step is also slightly cracking around the truck mounting holes but I think it will hold up just fine.

    I enjoy the hell out of my cross step, only paid $120 for a new complete. My next board will be a LBL komodo tho =D

    My first deck was an Arbor Pintail. Still have it too. Great boards in my opinion.

    My buddy rides an Arbor Bamboo Pin, Gullwing Chargers, super turny (very neat controllable two-wheelage), nice flex and concave..

    STEEP price tag of $300 CAD after tax though. I bought my Evo for less than that D:
