The Arbor Element Snowboard blends classic mountain style with modern all-mountain performance, making it a great choice for beginner to intermediate riders looking to progress across the entire resort. Built on Arbor's System Camber platform, its Parabolic Camber profile delivers lively response, reliable edge hold, and smooth turn initiation without feeling overly aggressive. Grip Tech adds extra contact points along the edges for improved traction on firm snow, while 3D Fender Technology helps reduce unwanted edge catches for a more forgiving ride. The directional twin shape balances stability and maneuverability, making it equally comfortable carving groomers, exploring side hits, or venturing into fresh snow. A lightweight Highland II Core, mixed fiberglass construction, and durable sintered base provide a responsive, smooth ride with plenty of glide. Finished with Arbor's signature Real Wood Powerply topsheet and eco-conscious materials, the Element delivers timeless looks with the technology to keep every mountain day exciting.

Snowboard Profile

System Camber / Parabolic Camber

Arbor's System Camber platform delivers energetic pop, responsive turning, and engaged edge performance. Parabolic Profiling progressively reduces camber toward the tip and tail, creating smoother transitions and reducing the tendency for the outer contact points to catch. Combined with Grip Tech and Uprise Fenders, the Element balances precise control with a more forgiving feel.

Key Technologies & Features

System Camber with Parabolic Profiling

Arbor's System Camber design delivers a lively, responsive ride with the edge engagement and energy associated with traditional camber. Parabolic Profiling gradually reduces camber toward the nose and tail, helping smooth out turn initiation and reduce unwanted edge catches while maintaining reliable control at speed.

Grip Tech

Grip Tech uses a tri-radial sidecut that creates additional heel-side and toe-side contact points near the rider's feet. These contact points improve edge traction and provide natural pivot zones, making it easier to initiate turns while maintaining control on firmer snow.

3D Uprise Fenders

Arbor's Uprise Fenders lift the outer contact zones using angled 3-degree risers. This reduces unwanted edge catching and creates a smoother, more forgiving ride without sacrificing the responsive character of the System Camber platform.

Directional Twin Shape

The directional twin design combines balanced handling with all-mountain versatility. Equal tip and tail widths and zero taper help create a predictable feel for carving, exploring side hits, and progressing across different terrain.

Highland II Core

The Highland II Core uses carefully selected lightweight paulownia within Arbor's poplar and paulownia core construction. Its refined wood selection delivers responsive performance, reliable energy return, and lasting durability while helping reduce overall board weight.

Mixed Glassing

Arbor's Mixed Glassing construction combines triaxial and biaxial fiberglass layers to balance torsional response, stability, and versatility. The result is a snowboard that feels comfortable across groomers, powder, jumps, and changing mountain conditions.

Sintered Base

A durable sintered base provides excellent glide and speed potential across a variety of snow conditions. Its higher molecular weight construction supports long-lasting performance, especially when regularly maintained and waxed.

Real Wood Powerply Topsheet

Arbor's signature Real Wood Powerply adds natural wood grain styling while contributing to the board's strength, durability, and energy return. The wood veneer becomes a functional composite layer within the snowboard rather than serving as decoration alone.

Bio-Plastic Topsheet

Arbor's bio-plastic topsheet material uses castor bean oil as a plant-based alternative to conventional petroleum-derived plastics. It provides a durable, water-repellent protective layer while supporting Arbor's approach to more responsible snowboard construction.

Bio-Resin

Arbor uses Bio-Resin as an alternative to traditional petroleum-based resin in its wood topsheet construction. Made using ingredients sourced from industrial co-products or waste streams, the resin helps reduce reliance on conventional petroleum-based materials.

360-Degree Fully Wrapped Sidewalls

A fully wrapped sidewall construction connects the snowboard around its perimeter, eliminating the need for traditional tip fill. This design helps improve structural consistency, durability, and long-term board performance.

Recycled Steel Edges

Durable recycled steel edges provide dependable edge performance while incorporating recycled materials into the snowboard's construction.

2x4 12-Pack Inserts

A 2x4 insert pattern with 12 inserts provides multiple binding mounting positions, allowing riders to adjust their stance placement to suit their preferences and riding style.

Wend Natural Wax

The Element comes factory prepared with Wend Natural Wax, providing a ready-to-ride base treatment. Regular waxing and maintenance will help preserve glide and base performance throughout the season.
