Arbor Padre vs Arbor Single

How they compare

Both target powder terrain, while the Arbor Padre leans more freeride. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. 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 Single 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 Single is aimed at advanced riders. At $559.95 vs $579.95 MSRP, the Arbor Single is the more budget-friendly option.
