Details Arbor was launched in 1995 with a small collection of environmentally friendly snowboards. Each board was made with a sustainable Hawaiian Koa wood top, and other alternative materials. Over the next 15 years, Koa became Arbor's calling card, anchoring the Brand's vibe, and mission toward sustainability, craftsmanship, and performance. The Koa was always secured by the company's founders, who believe the best way to ensure something is sustainable, is to know its source. The first Koa came from a forest restoration project on Maui, where dead trees were removed by helicopter, and sold to fund the effort. That work is done, and the land was added to the Haleakala National Park, where it will be forever protected. When Arbor was founded they also started their ReturningRoots program, which is dedicated to the preservation of Hawaii's Koa Forests. In 2000, Arbor stopped using Koa, as sustainable sources became hard to find, but Arbor continued on with Returning Roots, giving back to this critical natural and cultural treasure, which is so closely tied to the roots of the surf, skate, snow way of life. To celebrate their 25th Anniversary, Arbor used the last two Koa logs sourced by co-founder, Chris Jensen, to create a limited edition Koa topped Element. The Element snowboard is Arbor's cornerstone Mountain-Twin. For 25 years it's been the board Arbor has built their line around. Arbor is very proud to offer it one last time with Hawaiian Koa. There are only 500 of these boards in the world, so grab one while you can.
