P.S. I am 5’3 n 110lbs planning to gain about 10lbs. This shouldn’t affect the size board I should get?? 143 or 147cm. I figured the 143 because the 147cm is almost as bit as my 149cm.

Thanks again.

Hi Shay,

First off Love your reviews. Second are my questions , would you say last years Arbor flight is this years 2012 Cadence? Both are extruded base. Also aside from the base and graffics is there anything else different from last years cadence vs this years 2012 cadence? I am looking for a slightly more forgiving board (softer) n bit smaller. I have an imperium elvira 2009 (european brand got it really cheap) a bit stiff n I think kinda long for me 149cm (sintered base) I only weigh 110lbs. It’s a bit difficult for me to keep control, it flies down the mountain. Catches edge sometimes n I have taken some decent falls but nothing major. So I was considering the cadence 143cm to go with my union milan bindigs. Not to much of a park person but dabble a bit here n there.

Thanks!!

D, yeah definitely think the Flight would be a good entry level choice. It’ll be easier but more all mountain focus than the Cadence.

Joanne, Cadence is on the softer end with the Pandora, Infinity is more all mountain focus. Lux i haven’t tried so not too familiar. Definitely an reverse camber board will be more playful and still handle powder just depends how soft you want to go versus mountain performance.

Hi,

I was thinking about buying the Arbor Cadence 2012. I’ve been reading the comments and am going to have a look at the NS pandora or Infinity. i was also looking at the Burton Lux V-Rocker 2012. I’m currently riding a 2007 151 Ride Rapture. I’m looking for something more flexible to learn butters, tricks, switch on but still want to be able to go all mountain and powder. What can you recommend? I’m 5’52 and 10.5 stone (147lbs).

Thanks

Hiya, nice reviews.

Do you think the Arbor Flight is a good board for a beginner trying to nail linking turns? Currently have an Atomic in a 147, can’t remember model, but it’s cambered, not reverse, and sort of a stiffer all-mountain board. I’m thinking the Flight in a 143 might be better for getting comfortable on turns. 5’2″, 102 lbs.

Thanks!

Lauren and Laura, I haven’t seen it online in a while. Your best bet might be to check ebay for a used version.

I have tried for months to find this board. SO frustrated it’s not anywhere to be found. If anyone is selling one or knows where to get the 2010/11 Cadence be sure to give me a shout!

Hi Shay, love ur review of the Cadence. I just bought the 143 Cadence about a month ago and only had a chance to ride it a couple of times before it got stolen. I wanted to cry. It was the first board I had fallen in love with because it was perfect in how it handled, the flexibility and response was like no other boards I’ve owned. I’ve looked everywhere and have been unable to find another Cadence so I’m hoping the Arbor Flight I just bought is comparable. For one, the graphics don’t compare but of course that’s not what riding is about. I read ur assessment of the Flight in comparison and will be interested to see how it differs from the Cadence. We’ll see tmrw!
