The Arbor Kuro Neko Snowboard is a true twin, full camber board built for park riders who value the core fundamentals of freestyle riding. With a low-tech, no-frills approach to progression, it’s nimble, quick, and designed to boost confidence on rails, jumps, and side hits. Named after the Japanese “Black Cat,” the Kuro Neko always lands on its feet — agile, reliable, and ready to pounce.
