The Ethos is a budget-friendly, progression-friendly snowboard for beginners to intermediate riders that are looking to progress their skills without sacrificing quality. While the Ethos is easy on the wallet, it still features everything you come to know from Arbor's production, including a FSC-Certified poplar and paulownia wood core, recycled steel edges, and Wend natural wax. Parabolic Rocker combines with a soft flex to offer a forgiving ride for beginners or park riders, but still holds its own when the weather brings you a storm of fresh snow.
