The Arbor Veda Camber Splitboard 21/22 with Skins is built for riders who want to explore backcountry terrain using a deck that converts into two ski-like halves for uphill travel. With the climbing skins included, you can transition from skintrack to freeride with minimal fuss, making it a practical choice for mixed tours.
This splitboard features a directional shape that offers reliable tracking and stability when you’re descending, while the camber profile underfoot gives you solid edge hold and lively pop for carving through variable snow. Its medium flex rating of 5 strikes a balance between responsive control on steeper lines and enough forgiveness for playful turns. Including skins means you won’t need to source them separately, so you’re ready to head uphill straight out of the bag.
In snowboard terms, a camber profile refers to the slight arch in the board when it’s lying flat, which engages the edges more fully for better grip on hardpack. A directional shape places more volume and stiffness toward the nose, helping the board float in softer snow and track smoothly downhill. The flex rating—on a scale where 1 is very soft and 10 is very stiff—sits at 5 here, offering a midpoint stiffness that adapts well whether you’re climbing or charging turns on the descent.
