How they compare
the Arbor Padre leans more freeride/powder, while the Arbor Relapse leans more all mountain/freestyle. The Arbor Padre uses a directional shape while the Arbor Relapse is twin. The Arbor Padre has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Arbor Relapse uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Arbor Padre is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Arbor Padre targets expert riders while the Arbor Relapse is aimed at advanced riders.
