Abacus 160 Details Enjoy the results of our exploration into the limits of shape calculation. The Abacus is a new-breed taper-tail for the fluidic backseat mountain surfer. Knowing there are few 100% powder days, the Abacus was designed to deliver “all-aspect” freeride performance. At speed, in mixed conditions, and across varied terrain, this powder stick’s your true, form-follows-function, mountain machine.

The Abacus is built with a burled eucalyptus wood-top. During construction, resin locks the dense wood fibers in place, creating a structural layer that improves board return and resilience. The Abacus also features a new blended paulownia core. Paulownia is light like balsa - yet strong. It allows us to reduce weight, while maintaining a high level of durability.

Summary: Slay the fresh all day long and love it with this board, keep it at home if there is no snow in sight. There is an old adage of “No friends on pow day”, on pow days the Abacus is your only friend.

Summary: The Arbor abacus is a great board for the intermediate/ advanced rider looking to push their skills to the next level.  Unmatched durability and performance, this is your ultimate form follows function board.  Break the mold, ride an Arbor!  To learn more about Arbor’s sustainable materials and “green” business practices go to arborsports.com.
