Arbor started out as a snowboard brand, only launched its first skateboard in 1998 and built its skateboard fleet a little later than other brands. Arbor is environmentally conscious, promising to give back to the forest by planting trees for every skateboard sold, and a tree is included in its brand logo.
 
Arbor is divided into 9 series, each series has its own characteristics in terms of surface materials and patterns, and most of them are substitute boards. The Artist series and Photo Collection, the board pattern is more delicate and durable, and the Bamboo series made of 6 layers of maple wood and a layer of bamboo will be more elastic than pure maple material. If you want a lower center of gravity and better stability, you can choose the reverse-mounted Flagship and Groundswell series, the Groundswell series has a wider surface than other basic series, making it suitable for beginners.
 
The Arbor Timeless Groundswell 2018 42" Pintail Longboard Complete from the Groundswell series is perfect for beginners, as the wider deck makes it more stable and makes it a great way to travel long distances. The Arbor Dropcruiser PC Desert 38" Drop-Through Longboard Complete from Photo Collection is recommended for 9 layers of maple, which is sturdy and durable, with a low center of gravity, and is a very stable slowdown plate. The Arbor Fish Bamboo Collection 37" Pintail Longboard Complete is a 6-layer maple and bamboo board that is lighter and more portable, and the surface is artist-designed for added gliding fun.
 
In conclusion, Arbor is a well-made, more traditional-focused brand, but not very prominent in terms of technology and panel design. Except for the flagship series, the rest of the series are priced within $200, which is not expensive.
