Arbor Padre vs Ride Deep Fake

How they compare

Both target freeride and powder terrain, while the Ride Deep Fake leans more all mountain. 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 Ride Deep Fake uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff). At $579.95 vs $699.95 MSRP, the Arbor Padre is the more budget-friendly option.
