The 2026 Arbor Rain is a hard-charging directional twin built for riders who treat the mountain like their own personal terrain park. Born from Pat Moore’s full-throttle approach to snowboarding, the Rain is all gas, no brakes, designed to stomp cliffs, hold an edge in steep terrain, and stay composed when things get sketchy. If you ride like you’ve got something to prove, this board is more than ready.

Why we like it:

Few boards combine power, precision, and freestyle freedom this well. The Rain feels aggressive without being stiff for stiffness’s sake, it’s spring-loaded and ultra-stable but still down to party in the air.

Who it's for:

Built for experienced riders who lean into big lines, bigger airs, and fast descents. If your day includes switch landings off natural features and straight-lining backcountry spines, you’ll feel right at home.

Highlights:

With a System Camber profile and double carbon stringers, the Rain delivers powerful pop and edge hold for energy and composure on big terrain. Its directional twin shape is centered enough for switch tricks, yet slightly set back for better control in variable snow. The Highland III Core and mixed glassing offer a premium, durable construction, while 14-pack inserts give you plenty of stance versatility. It’s topped off with an art collab by Ian Ruhter, and looks as great as it rides.

Things to consider:

This board isn’t built for mellow cruising or entry-level progression, it shines when ridden hard. Riders looking for something soft, surfy, or laid-back will want to explore other options.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Rain runs true to size and should be ridden at your standard all-mountain or freestyle length.
