Terrapin PFD Snowboard - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Terrapin PFD is the board I grab when the snow is deep, the terrain is playful, and I want to surf. It floats like nothing else but still has control thanks to the Grip Tech and that aggressive tail. Super fun in trees and bowls—it’s a pow day dream."

When the forecast is deep and the goal is full-throttle float, we grab the Arbor Terrapin PFD Snowboard. Short for Powder Floatation Device, the third-generation Terrapin is all about maximizing surf-inspired glide in deep snow and technical tree lines. Its bold, directional System Rocker profile delivers intuitive float and maneuverability, while redesigned 3D PFD Fenders and an elongated, flattened nose improve control when things get steep or tight.

This board brings the soul of classic powder riding into a modern build, with a heavily tapered pintail and a centerline boat hull shape for unbeatable nose lift and snappy power off the tail. Built on Arbor’s sustainably-minded platform—with real wood topsheet, bio-resin, and recycled edges—it’s both a high-performance powder board and a statement in clean design. From Baldface laps to backyard booters, the Terrapin PFD is our ride-or-die for deep days.
