Arbor Skateboards

Arbor prioritises sustainable materials and environmentally responsible manufacturing. Their decks are crafted from FSC‑certified wood or bamboo, finished with water‑based sealants and topped with recycled glass grip instead of traditional sandpaper. The company also funds tree‑planting projects to offset its environmental footprint.

Arbor’s line includes compact cruisers like the Pilsner and Pocket Rocket for urban riding, mid‑length longboards for carving and commuting, and downhill/freeride boards with drop‑through or top‑mount designs. Many boards come complete with high‑quality wheels and trucks, though decks can also be purchased separately.

Yes. Arbor cruisers and pintails offer a stable, comfortable ride that’s ideal for new riders learning to balance and carve. While their boards are more expensive than mass‑produced “big box” options, the quality materials and smooth ride make them a great investment for entry‑level longboarders.

Arbor uses sustainably harvested maple, bamboo and other hardwoods laminated into seven or nine plies for strength. Many boards feature a carbon‑reinforced layer for added stiffness. Clear recycled‑glass grip enhances traction without hiding the woodgrain.

Most Arbor longboards and cruisers are sold as complete setups with branded trucks, high‑rebound urethane wheels and soft, responsive bushings. However, some models are available as deck‑only options for riders who want to choose their own components.

Keep your board dry and avoid riding through puddles. Wipe down the deck after use, check and tighten hardware regularly, and clean bearings if they become noisy. Reapply clear grip and wood finish as needed to maintain traction and preserve the wood.
