Wounded Arbor Draft - Snowboarding Forum

2_D · 12-20-2010, 02:32 PM

Hello! I'm thinking about buying a used Arbor Draft - based on my research a very good board. It was only out a few times before it took a deep core shot - which the local shop told me could usually be repaired for $20-$40 professionally. The thing is, the previous owner already tried sanding and p-texing the base, but he said he didn't do very well on the p-texing...could that have caused irreversible damage the ski shop couldn't fix?

It's a real good price, he's offering to sell it for $120, but I'm not 100% sure on the damage recovery possibility.

Looks like some people are having trouble with Arbor's lately.
