The Terrapin is rooted in 70’s single fin surf design, intended to bring an added pow float to your quiver. The System Rocker Terrapin integrates the Pow System and trades length for volume plus a tapered outline for a loose, surfy float on the deep days.

Parabolic Profiling
We use a unique shaping technique that replaces the single radius arc found in traditional camber or rocker with a more advanced parabolic profile. The design blends five separate radii together to create a parabolic arc which gradually reduces the amount of rocker or camber toward the tip and tail. In our System Rocker shapes the design lowers the leading edge to improve edge hold. In our System Camber shapes the design makes the leading edge less aggressive for smoother performance. The blended five radii design also drastically improves our ability to tune each shape in our line for ability level, target terrain and riding style.
System Rocker
Our System Rocker shapes are for riders who want:
- A surfy ride with natural float, cleaner tracking across the snow and more care-free turns and spins
- Best in class true-rocker edge hold on the steeps, at higher speeds and through any landing
The System X Baseplate
- A proprietary design that transfers rider input out to four heel-to-toe convergence zones, improving edge controls and response time.
- A concave design allows a board to flex more seamlessly by reducing flat spots for improved edge performance.
- When paired with an Arbor Snowboard, the System X design improves the activation of Arbor's Grip Tech contact points.
- This unique binding / board interaction provides maximum performance at speed, in steeps, amd through any turn, carve or spin.
Fender Tech
The edge control created by Arbor's System platform allows us to add Fenders that slightly lift a board's leading edge off the snow. This dramatically improves turning, spins, float and tracking on cambered snowboards.
Unlike "early rise" or "rockered" nose/tail transition zone, Arbor's Fenders create smoother performance without shortening the camber section of the board. As a result, you get a clean ride without any loss of the pop or performance that comes from full-length camber. Today, we use Fenders on the majority of our System Camber designs.
