[QUOTE=Wiredsport;563510]Arbor's 2014 lineup looks amazing. You will see a lot of wood returning, even in the graphic models, and some new outlines as well.

Damn!!! I LOVE the look of that "Burl Wood" Arbor!!

Lotsa cool lookin' boards!! (...is there a NS board that's comparable to the Gnu Riders choice in design tech & profile??) I really like the NS graphics. Was thinking about looking for the GNU RC when the late season clearance prices hit!

Evo is the park board, Proto is the freestyle oriented all mountain board.

prices hit!

The Burled deck is Nick Viscontii's pro model of the Draft. It looks insane in person (almost 3 dimensional).

I believe it!! I used to live in Northern CA. Saw a LOTs of burl wood art 'n' shit. This would look awesome just hanging on the wall. Kinda like u see with those guy's making rare wood canoes and the like!

I think I'd flat out DECK the first lame assed skier to nick that board in the lift line!!!

Might just b Too pretty to ride!

I've been expecting this thread daily for the last week

I heard NS had new boards and profiles. Will be riding them in just over a week, so will report back. Pretty dull designs again though they normally look a lot better in person. Womens are more interesting IMO.

Love what some some of the other brands have come up with.

Love those 390 Boss colorways too. The yellow would look hot on my board.

I see now that Jones did it everybody is coming out with weird tip designs. I can't help but look at them and think about how much effective edge they're losing given the same length board...

After riding a blunted tip board there really is nothing scary about them, that's the trend we should be going towards in snowboarding!

Wow.
