They thought it was funny in the 90s when people would refer to Arbor as that hippy brand. Back then, this was not a compliment. Those days are over thanks to their customers, who understood that protecting the planet is about looking after our shared playground.

Arbor was launched Arbor in 1995 as a snowboard line, and a dialog about their focus on sustainability, and its importance to snowboarding. They were the first to replace the standard plastic top, with responsibly sourced wood veneer, significantly improving performance. They pioneered the use of bamboo, bio-plastic, and other recycled, reclaimed, and renewable alternatives. For over two decades they’ve turned rider-oriented design into the highest quality, hand-crafted snowboarding products possible, while drastically minimizing their impact on the planet.

Shortly after launching Arbor, they started repurposing old snowboards into big wheelbase skates that were ideal for bombing hills when there was no snow. This led to the introduction of their skateboard line, and an extension of their sustainability efforts and discussion about its importance to action sports. With the skate line, they pioneered bio-urethane and expanded their use of recycled materials and responsibly sourced wood and bamboo. Their mission is to build premium lifestyle skateboards, with the smallest possible environmental footprint.

Not Just Planting Trees, Rebuilding Forests...

Since day one, The Arbor Collective has donated to groups that protect and restore forests. They call this program “Returning Roots.”

Their donations primarily go to preserving the Koa forests of Hawaii, which allows them to give back to the planet, and to the people and place that gave us surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding. The native Hawaiians invented surfing as early as 1,000 years ago, on boards made from Koa wood. The sports we love today tie directly to this heritage.
