Rogue Status, the controversial, pridefully non-conventional, “luxury goods brand” – and Arbor, the surf/skate/snow industry’s forerunner in the use of environmentally friendly, beneficial materials, announced today that they will release 333 specially designed and numbered snowboards – a collaborative, limited offering that will be sold exclusively through select Arbor and Rogue Status dealers in the US and Canada.
The Arbor/Rogue Status collaboration was conceived by the designers at each company as a way to work together and create something unique by blending the strengths of each brand – Rogue’s notorious, push the limits messaging, and Arbor’s performance and style enhancing, EcoTechnologies. (MORE)

Rogue Status, the controversial, pridefully non-conventional, “luxury goods brand” – and Arbor, the surf/skate/snow industry’s forerunner in the use of environmentally friendly, beneficial materials, announced today that they will release 333 specially designed and numbered snowboards – a collaborative, limited offering that will be sold exclusively through select Arbor and Rogue Status dealers in the US and Canada.
The Arbor/Rogue Status collaboration was conceived by the designers at each company as a way to work together and create something unique by blending the strengths of each brand – Rogue’s notorious, push the limits messaging, and Arbor’s performance and style enhancing, EcoTechnologies. In the end, this snowboard reflects the joint vision of a crew of friends that live and work in Venice, CA – home to both brands.
The design features several of Rogue Status’ graphic design elements. Arbor added in its well-known natural wood-top, composite-technology – made, in this case, from environmentally friendly, black Ravenswood. The board’s true-twin shape features a progressive sidecut and Arbor’s shadow flex-matrix. Brass rails, 2×4 14-pack inserts, a die-cut sintered base, and sustainably sourced full-wood core complete the package. The Arbor/Rogue Status collaboration will be available in three sizes: 153, 155, 158.
“I’ve been a fan of Rogue’s approach to in your face, stop and think art since their tees started showing up around Venice,” said Arbor’s President, Bob Carlson. “For Arbor, guns as art, not instruments of urban destruction, is a message we embrace. So working with RS on a collaborative design has been a great way tell a larger story with our boards.” (LESS)
