Arbor Clovis 2019 - 2017 Review by The Good Ride
The Arbor Clovis started out in 2017 as a weirdish directional twin with centered on sidecut but the tail felt like it was a lot more volume than the nose leading you to think you set it up too far forward. Then in 2018 they added set back inserts to give the board a more directional ride but we didn’t try this. Then the 2019 model was completely redesigned to be the board it probably always should have been. It’s now a little bit wider, has a shorter tail than nose, has 10mm of taper and even though it’s centered on sidecut there is a lot of setback on board. The 2019 Arbor Clovis is now a recommendable ride for those that like having full camber from tip to tail but want it to be considerably less catchy than traditional camber.

Arbor Clovis Past Reviews
The Arbor Clovis is an interesting board that threw us all off. It’s a twin with a different tip/tail and the tip seems smaller than the tail. It made us all feel like we were riding too far forward.
