A great forgiving and smooth ride!
Originally posted at www.arborcollective.com on Feb 19, 2022I started later in life, at 25, on a high-end camber GNU that I had bought on eBay. Needless to say that $hit was like a stiff piece of steel that never met an edge it couldn't catch and was difficult to turn for a newbie. After many brutal wipeouts, I learned to ride it, but a few years later I wanted something more forgiving and surfy... this board did not disappoint at ALL. It was a game changer... and allowed my riding to progress to another level because I was able to relax a bit more and iron out the kinks. I still love it after 6 seasons. The Grip-Tech shines in icy conditions too... like, noticeably... I've watched people eat $hit around me while I charge through. Is it slower than the GNU? Yeah... but, that's fine... I'm older and wiser and a better rider because of it.

Great beginner board paired with Burton Step Ons

48 y/o man, wanted an attractive set up and my only (much younger) snowboarder buddy recommended "Arbor". I added Burton Step on bindings and read a Kevin Ryan (the illustrated guide to snowboarding 1997) book that was hard to find. I'm a snowboarder now and I've only bought two lift tickets!! That's right, with this set up, lots of you tube and some common sense I'm off the bunny hill in my second time out!! I found this year's version is made of a "sintered" base too (google it). I think this board is a real game changer. Also helmet, pads and all that stuff aside; out of 15 runs last night (second day out) I fell to my knees like maybe twice!?! If your thinking of this board or researching it I totally recommend, I got Formula Rocker and at first I thought the "grip tech" was a gimmick...but I really think it must be working. I have also used it a lot in my own back yard for practice. I have limited skateboarding experiences so YMMV. I waited as long as I could to write a review for this board and now with about 10 hours of riding on a hill I think I can say it was worth it. 5 stars for me based on my lack of previous boards...this one rocks.

Dylan is the man!
5 /5
Only having skateboarding experience, I was weary to buy my first snowboard. Finding Dylan was a huge help as he answered all the questions I had. With his help, I was able to find what size board & profile was right for me. Also, with the additional information during our conversation, I now what what to consider when buying future boards, bindings, and boots. Thank you again Dylan!

5 /5
I stumbled upon curated while researching what kind of skis to buy via youtube videos - and im SO glad I ended up where I did. Allie guided me through my first adult ski and binding purchase. She answered all my questions, and more. Allie made me feel very comfortable and sure that the purchase I was making was the right one for me. Allie was so kind that I hope to run into her one day on the slopes with the new gear she helped me choose :)

Ryan is the man
5 /5
Ryan was the absolute best in helping me find my first set of gear as a somewhat beginner snowboarder. I started snowboarding a few years ago and fell in love with it. Eventually renting gear all the time caught up to me and I haven’t hopped on a board in almost 2 years. As I’m trying to get back into it and avoid this problem going forward, Ryan truly made the overwhelming experience of buying a board, boots, bindings, helmets and goggles a freakin breeze. He will help you budget while also finding you the best quality gear. Ryan even took the time to make me a personal video explaining why he chose certain gear for me while also giving multiple options. Anyone and everyone who doesn’t know the ins and outs of this stuff should have someone like Ryan to make the process easier. Thanks again Ryan 🤘🏼

Getting into boarding after skiing most of my life. I have weird skeleton proportions so I got all the answers I needed for which board, bindings, and boots to choose. Great conversation and besides for this site being dope, Tyler seems like someone I'd hit the mountain with any day. Good stuff, great guy, good vibes!

Making a large purchase on a piece of equipment is fraught for a non-expert; Luke took the fear out of the decision, provided a number of recommendations across different price points, and really listened to what I was looking for! This service is excellent, and I deeply appreciate Luke's expertise and recommendations in making this decision!

I have taken almost a year to make my purchase and Phil stayed in touch but was not pushy. Once I was ready Phil was immediately responsive and sent videos and information that was perfect to help me make my decision. I highly recommend curated and Phil to help with your boot purchase.
