Summary

The Arbor Cosa Nostra is like a stiffer Shreddy Kruger and other than missing that secure feeling out of a turn in steep terrain its a very capable floater in the deep stuff.

Really enjoyed this board for what it is. Super surfy pow inspired deck that was also fun in the tracked out stuff.

One thought with the video review. Every board ranked highly here is a board with camber between the feet, and noticed the reviewer suggesting the board would be better with camber between the feet. That's personally not what I believe this board was designed for. It's becoming a little predictable that the Flight Attendant shape is what this review site wants, but that shape isn't for everyone. Many like the surf feel of the rocker board, especially for powder specific boards. I would hate to see this board with camber, because it's not the intent of what Arbor is trying to do here...

Hi ! Cosa nostra is maybe the best powder snowboard I’ve ever ridden, especially for powder tree runs ! It’s narrow and super nimble in tight spots . This season I ridden Cosa nostra 159 and Never summer maverix 157 at same time in the same conditions and Cosa nostra is much faster and nimble then Maverix , I’m not agree with the reviews here that Maverix is faster edge to edge ! Sorry for my English but I’m from east Europe.
