Arbor Kuro Neko Decon 2027 Snowboards

True twin, pure camber, and park-ready - the Kuro Neko brings trick-inspired freestyle snowboarding back to its core with a female-first, low-tech, simple-geometry approach to progression. Named after the Japanese “Black Cat,” this nimble true-twin snowboard is quick, ready to slash, and always lands on its feet. Mind the claws.

A parabolic profile with five blended radii allowing the leading and trailing edges to engage and release more smoothly - enhancing flow and control.

Montreal-based artist Melodie Perrault brings her distinct aesthetic and subversive storytelling to this limited Arbor collaboration. Known for her raw edge and provocative imagery, Melodie’s work channels feminine power with bold, unapologetic style. This season, her artwork graces the Cadence snowboard and Acacia binding with a surreal clash of angels, mermaids, and a fire-breathing dragon—capturing Melodie’s signature mix of beauty and chaos.

So this is a tricky area. A lot of variation based on riding style, ability, gender; some boards your ride a little shorter or longer than standard. But use this chart as a good basis, and feel free to get in touch about any specific board sizing for your needs.

To decide between two sizes, choose the smaller size if your priority is maneuverability and freestyle performance, choose the larger size if you're focused on riding fast and powder performance. A shorter board will be easier to turn and a longer board will offer better float and stability riding off-piste.
