Arbor got into the longboard skateboard industry in 1999. Arbor longboards goal has been to use environmetally friendly materials in all of their longboards. At the same time Arbor has the goal to keep the boards high performance and also very visually appealing. When arbor started they were one of only a few longboard companies looking to help save the planet. Today they more of them have jumped on the boat and are trying to do the same thing.

Today, Arbor advocates the idea that you can’t just be “green” for the sake of being green. If it were that easy we’d all be wearing hemp. Choosing an environmentally friendly alternative should not involve sacrificing performance. Rather – you should expect improved design via eco-solutions accessed in responsible ways. This modern approach to environmental thinking and skate design is what Arbor is all about.

To that end, Arbor Longboards eco-materials are chosen to improve the performance and style of our skateboards, while reducing the impact their production has on the planet. All of these natural materials, including our maple plys, are sustainably sourced. In addition, we reclaim the wood and bamboo by-product created during construction for use in other Arbor products or by outside companies.

Arbor longboards are definitely a green alternative and a great way to help save the planet and stop global warming. Make sure to check out the Arbor longboard line-up before purchasing your next board.
