My Take on Arbor’s Shreddy Krueger!!!!! (2016 Model)
Rider weight: 89kg
Board category: Powder Board
Board size: 162cm (My normal Freeride Board Length)
Stance: Wide and Centered, 15, -15 Binders
Bindings: FLUX DM’s Large
Test location: Thredbo, NSW
Snow conditions: 5 cm’ Fresh plus Windblown Stashes of POW, Groomers, spring slush
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- Full rocker profile, Arbor’s “The System” (Parabolic Rocker) was very fun on the mountain.
- GripTech Edges to give some “bite”. In my experience, this was more noticeable than lib’s Magne.
- The graphics are awesome!!!!!
- It rode fast, and floated over anything. Probably the fastest base I’ve had on a board yet?????
- Flex was on the mid side, making it forgiving and playful.
- Great for holding an edge when laying down those turns.
- Stiff enough to bomb runs.
- I was blown away by how much this powder board felt at ease on the groomers.
- A board like this is a real confidence builder while still providing excellent performance.
- Definitely a board I would buy again and again.
This board unlike your ‘usual’ powder Boards, sticks with a normal width to length ratio, and keeps a somewhat longer tail than some, and i think this is the aspects that make this board so usable on the groomers as well as the fresh!!!!!
*I’m yet to ride it in Japan (It’s intended use), and can not wait!!!!!
GripTech!!!!!
GripTech Bump!!!!!
While I’m not that fond of the base’s Graphics, man, I do love what it’s made out of!!!!!
The System Parabolic Rocker as seen in this Tail Shot!!!!!
Great stuff. Thanks for the feedback, mate.

No worries mate!!!!!
It truly is a wicked fun board to ride, and wouldn’t hesitate recommending one to anyone lookin for a versatile powder board!!!!!
I’ll update after I test it out in the deep stuff next February!!!!! 
Arbor’s grip tech is the best edge technology on the market. Like it more that Lib’s mag or even their mag .5.

I was pretty amazed at how well it made a rockered profile feel like it had the grip of a cambered profile!!!!!
Ok this is a sick shape. Guch’s pro model
Glad to see you’re enjoying being a part of the Arbor family, Mizu

Only chocked up one day on it so far, but very impressed at how it rides, and pretty confident that the build quality is top notch!!!!!
I might have to file for adoption?????
