Item # 9852arel8zz-arbor-snowboards
The Arbor Element Snowboard is a technically advanced all-mountain board for riders who readily transition from one terrain, snow condition, or riding style to another. Its balanced design provides the versatility needed for the true “ride-it-all” experience. The Element was designed to freely initiate into any spin or line alteration and hold a solid edge at speed, in the steeps, and through the pipe.
Key Features of the Arbor Element Snowboard:
Full-Length Wood Topsheet: An exclusive technology that creates a one-of a-kind aesthetic, while improving performance. During construction, resin locks the dense wood fibers in place, producing an additional composite layer that allows us to increase durability & deliver a more responsive ride. The Element topsheet is made from sustainably harvested koa wood. Koa, or “warrior” wood, is native to the Hawaiian Islands, & was first used 1,000 years ago by the Polynesians to build the original surfboards.
Paulownia Wood Core. An ultra-lightweight core made from a 50/50 blend of paulownia & poplar. Paulownia is an ecologically cultivated, balsa-like species. Unlike balsa, it has the strength of traditional core materials, which allows us to deliver maximum weight reduction with no loss of durability.
Two-Year Warranty: Arbor guarantees to the original buyer that the Arbor snowboard is free of defects in material or workmanship for a period of two-years from the date of purchase
Directional Shape
Sidewall-Sintered-P-Tex: Pioneered by our friends at Never Summer, sintered "p-tex" sidewalls provide maximum durability & edge control.
Progressive (Tri-Radial) Sidecuts: A triple radius sidecut that provides speed & landing stability with improved turn/spin initiation.
Detailed Die Cut
Structurn Finish: An advanced base finish that builds structure into a board's running surface, significantly increasing turn-ability & acceleration. The StrucTurn finish works like stone grinding. It prevents a vacuum from forming between the board & snow. Unlike stone grinding, a StrucTurn finish creates a smoother, more effective riding surface, with a consistent, scientifically proven pattern.
Factory Wax
Quadrx Fiberglass: An advance fiberglass material woven on the 0°, +45°, -45° & 90° axes, improving edge control & stability.
Durafilm: An ultra thin layer of high gloss nylon that protects the wood & bamboo topsheets from damage caused by loose bindings or out-of-control skiers.
2x4 14-Pack Inserts: Provides a huge stance range, while preserving micro adjustability.
Carbon Fiber Strut: Inlaying carbon fiber down the center of a board creates a compression strut that livens up a board's longitudinal flex without messing with turn/ spin initiation & release or landing recoverability.
