Best Snowboards 2013: Arbor Draft Nick Visconti Edition
ARBORT DRAFT–NICK VISCONTI EDITION
Meet the most freestyle-focused board in this Active Times list—its namesake Nick Visconti tears up the urban scene as one of the best in the game. The Draft has freestyle-specific features like softer bronze edges that cut down on metal-on-metal friction, and what Arbor calls Butter Glassing—a fiberglass layup that's optimized to create a "loose" and playful ride. The result is a soft flex and effortless maneuverability and balance—essential for railslides, wallrides, whatever-you-ride. Original artwork by Haunted Euth.
