Jana, Cadence would be a good consideration but I’d consider the Push or Blue for more aggressive riding especially more mountain riding. Cadence would be good for middle of the road mix of mountain and tricks.

Rhea, Lexa’s are more forgiving bindings, escapades are more responsive. Both are super comfortable. If you ride the mountain more, I’d go with escapades personally.

Megan, thanks so much! Definitely the cadence would be a good choice for just riding the mountain. It’s one of those boards that doesn’t have girly graphics and worth considering!

Hey Shay,

First I want to tell you how much I appreciate you and this website. I have probably read through all of the reviews from 2009-2011, so thank you. I am a 23 yr old woman, I am 5’4 and 125 lbs, I have been snowboarding since I was 10, although I’ve been riding a while I am not amazing at it, I haven’t gone for a little over a year and have missed it, and want to get back into it. I don’t do jumps or tricks, just mainly ride down the hill. I was wondering if this would be a good board for me? and is there any suggestions of other boards you could please make to me? I really am not into any really girly graphics either, not that it should matter that much. Thanks so much!

What kind of bindings would go well with the Arbor Cadence? I’m torn between Burton’s Lexa and Escapade (09/10 models). I tend to ride the mountain more but I’m open to trying rails. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

hey shay,
i’m looking to buy a new board and was wondering if you might be able to suggest a couple. i am 5″7″”, 140lbs have been riding a 156 ride profile for the past 6 seasons. i’m an aggressive rider and love steeps, trees and powder so i’m mostly interested in an all mountain sort of board. however, the past couple seasons i have started playing around more with spins and tricks but mostly off natural features. i’ve never been much of a park rat but might play around a little bit with rails this season. i was thinking of trying out a women’s specific board and have been looking at the arbor cadence or the rome blue. if there are any others that come to mind i would love to hear your thoughts. thanks!

I own this board and I gotta say, I really like the graphic. It’s not so scary when you realize it’s from Dia de los muertos (mexican day of the dead), where they celebrate the people they have lost. Not the best art from the holiday but still pretty cool. I also love the board as far as riding goes but I have only been snowboarding for one season so I don’t really know much.

I have been an “Arborist” since I first bought one 10 years ago, I love the way these boards perform and since then, it’s all I ride.
Additionally, while not performance critical, the powerful aesthetic statement Arbor boards make, is nonetheless relevant in the selection process (just being honest here), the busy or flashy graphics of most other manufacturers often annoy me…
Now, I’m looking at Arbor for a new board this year and when I saw the 09/10 Cadence, I felt an immediate affinity. If I do the jump to a graphics board it will be for la muerta!

The graphic looks like a bad imitation of old Kiss’ drummer Peter Criss. Just google him. But since it’s an Arbor I believe it’s a great ride. Dig Arbor boards.

Wow, that is a ballsy graphic for a female board. I dealt with a lot of chicks who didn’t want to ride pretty pink snowboards, but that’s shifting waaaay over to the opposite extreme. Creepy. I guess you’re right in that the type of rider who’d jump on this board probably wouldn’t care that much, though.
