The Arbor Seedling is a directional twin snowboard sized for a smaller rider's first days on snow. A poplar wood core and extruded base keep the board light and easy to maintain through a season of learning, and 360deg wrapped sidewalls hold up to the bumps that come with it. The Parabolic Rocker profile keeps turns catch-free from the very first run, and Grip Tech's added heel and toe contact points build reliable edge hold as skills grow. That same forgiving rocker still holds an edge well enough for small park features once a rider is ready to try them, so there's room to keep progressing past the first season. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"My kid fell maybe twice the whole first afternoon, and the rocker let them slide out of a bad edge instead of stopping hard. Getting back up and pointing it down the run again felt like second nature by the end of the day."
