Bryan Iguchi is a world snowboard legend. The Arbor brand therefore decided to start a co-operation with this guy and managed to create a perfect collection of snowboards and splitboards. Iguchi's pro-models are the result of the perfect blend of creativity and innovation.
Bryan Iguchi
Bryan Iguchi is an embodiment of passion and love for snowboarding. "Guch," as everyone calls him, is a world snowboarder with almost 30 years of professional experience. He loves to ride hills that have not been touched yet and enjoy freeride in fresh powder. Although coming from sunny California, in the 1990s he moved to Jackson Hole in Wyoming. He had fallen in love with the beauty of nature there so much that he decided to spend the rest of his life there. So if you ever wanted to meet Bryan in person, you would find him right there.
Arbor Bryan Iguchi Pro-models
Bryan Iguchi Pro-Rocker and Pro-Camber
"I wanted to design a snowboard that would fit my style of riding - sometimes I'm a cool rider, sometimes I'm a killer."
Originally, this was supposed to be a freestyle snowboard model, but Bryan's intentions eventually changed. He concluded that the board must be capable of riding under any conditions. Whether the rider is crazy about wild carving, with only a fiery line behind them, or rather enjoying a stormy ride in powder, Bryan Iguchi Pro-model is the right choice. Those who except the quality also care about the design, will certainly appreciate that the design of the snowboard was created by the "Guch" himself.
The Pro-Rocker model provides a perfect feeling of "surfing" in powder. The Pro-Camber piece is, on the contrary, made for a rough, sharp and precise ride that ends with a proper pop.
Pro-Rocker
The Pro-Rocker model provides a perfect feeling of "surfing" in powder. This is due mainly to the slightly tapering heel and a longer tip. The ability to control this board is much better thanks to this detail. Rocker model is ideal for big-mountain and backcountry freestyle.
Pro-Camber
The Pro-Camber piece is, on the contrary, made for a rough, sharp and precise ride that ends with a real pop. It's a mountain twin with camber. Like the rocker, it features an extended nose and a narrow tail, making it perfect for deep snow.
Bryan Iguchi Pro-Splitboard
Bryan's inner desire to explore the wilderness on the best board led to the idea of creating the perfect Arbor Pro-model. It should be noted that it is the result of a great deal of work, considering the perfect shape of the board and the hours spent over the graphic design. All of Iguchi's technological and graphic designs were worked out and thus the top-of-the-line piece was created - backcountry splitboard in camber variation.
This board is made in a bend ideal for precise ride and high pop. At the same time, it also has GripTech technology, which guarantees it to adhere effectively to the snow when it's really needed. And like the previous two snowboards, the top layer of the splitboard is made in a genuine wood design, so nothing artificial!
