Arbor Element Decon Snowboard - Men'sby Arbor

Product Info

The Arbor Element has been Arbor’s definition of freeride/all-mountain board for over two decades. This year, they are offering the board in a Deconstructed version at a value price. Just like the Element, the Decon has what was the Coda’s shape for better mountain-twin performance while maintaining the rocker profile and Grip Tech contact points. The Element Decon is the new modern classic for resort riding rocker profile enthusiasts.

Type of Terrain: All Mountain 

Ability Level: Beginner Plus, Intermediate

Technical Features

Directional Twin

From contact point to contact point the nose and tail are mirrored from the center of the board in both shape and flex, but the nose is a little longer past the contact point to offer better weight distribution in softer snow. Twins of any kind allow you to ride in either direction a little easier. Ideal for freestyle minded riding and perfect for anyone, beginners included, to dial in riding switch for all mountain dominance. 

System Rocker (Parabolic Rocker)

Arbor use a unique shaping technique that replaces the single radius arc found in traditional rocker, with a more advanced parabolic profile. The design blends five separate radii to create a parabolic arc, which gradually reduces the amount of rocker toward the tip and tail. In our System Rocker shapes, the design lowers the leading edge to improve edge hold. The System Rocker shapes are for riders who want a surfy ride with natural float, cleaner tracking across the snow, and more care-free turns and spins. Best in class true-rocker edge hold in the steeps, at higher speeds, and through any landing.

Skill Level

The beginner plus to intermediate rider who is mastering the blue runs and starting to explore more of what the mountain has to offer. The System Rocker is ideal for the rider who wants a looser or surfier feel in their turns.

Flex Rating

The flex rating of 5/10 is just what you think it is. Not too stiff, not too soft. Capable, but easy and fun.

Highland I Core

Arbor’s most versatile core, constructed with an equal blend of Poplar and Paulownia for reliability and durability.

Grip Tech

A tri–radial sidecut design that is not blended. Natural shaping intersections, that in the past were eliminated, have been transformed into heel and toe contact points that provide a direct and more ergonomic way to grip the snow when additional control is needed.

Biax Glassing

A biax over biax lay-up that’s designed for park and street inspired all-mountain riding. Also creates a good platform for learning.

360° Fully Wrapped Sidewalls

Fully wrapped sidewall that eliminates the need for tip fill, while effectively tying the whole snowboard together. A technology that delivers incredibly tight tolerances for improved board life and durability.

Wend Natural Wax

All Arbor snowboards hit the shop floor ready to ride with Wend Natural Wax infused in the base.

Factory Tuned

All Arbor snowboards leave the factory with the tip and tail contact points detuned for a catch-free ride.
