Arbor Element (2008)

The Arbor Element Snowboard is an all-mountain board with a progressive sidecut for easy turning and high-speed control.  This board transitions well over all conditions, but is advertised for power riding.  Like most Arbor boards, the element isn't painted and the top surface features the natural wood grain finish.  The wood core is made of blended paulownia and poplar, and the base is UHMW sintered with Structurn finish. 

Available Lengths:  144cm, 151.5cm, 157.5cm, 160.5cm, 164.5cm
