Protecting the planet is about the environments we utilize
everyday. We need clean air to skate, clean water to surf, and
snow to ride.
Sustainably
Sourced Hardrock Maple - Maple provides the best blend
of durability and lightweight performance.
It's also readily available and affordable, which allows us to
offer a price point that is uncommonly low for an
environmentally friendly alternative.
Finish Plys of
Sustainably Sourced Hawaiian Koa - Koa's more densely
packed fibers add important structure, which improves return,
while providing a one-of-a-kind grain pattern on each deck.
Koa wood was used by the Hawaiians to build the 1st
surfboards 600+ years ago.
Bamboo Power Ply
- Bamboo is a remarkably renewable, sustainably grown material.
By adding it as a power-generating deck-side ply, we not only
give our skates that clean Zen flavor, we deliver much improved
return and lasting durability.
Recycled Glass
Re-Grip - Each deck is gripped with long-lasting
crushed recycled glass. This ultra clear
grip surface allows the deck’s natural grain and color to remain
highly visible, while providing better performance than silica
bead alternatives.
Water-Based
Finishes - All Arbor skates are produced using a
water-based sanding sealer and final finish to help protect the
air we breathe, especially while skating.
Recycled Plastic
Risers - All Arbor completes are shipped with recycled
plastic risers, which allow us to reduce our dependence on
petroleum-based plastics, while contributing to a reduction in
the use of landfills and the proliferation of plastic pollution.
Reclaimed Wood
By-Product - All wood by-product created during the
production of our skates is reclaimed for use in other Arbor
products or by outside companies. This
allows Arbor to stretch an important resource, while helping to
reduce strain on landfills and forestlands.
