{"product_id":"2027-arbor-element-decon-snowboard-ar7027111","title":"2027 Arbor Element Decon Snowboard","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Element has been part of the Arbor lineup for years, and the Arbor Element Decon brings that same classic look and feel to a more affordable build. It's a directional twin on the System Camber platform, so it carries the heritage styling people know but rides with a modern, tech-driven feel. The flex is a touch softer and the construction is pared back, which keeps it easy to manage and friendly to ride without losing the all-mountain range the Element is known for. It's a great everyday board for resort riders who want clean looks and an approachable ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe updated Grip Tech and 3D Fender Technology make turns start smooth and catch-free, which is exactly what you want from an easygoing board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeginner and intermediate riders looking for an approachable all-mountain twin will take to it quickly. The softer flex and forgiving shape suit anyone still dialing in their turns or just wanting a relaxed resort cruiser.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shape carries straight over from the standard Element, a directional twin on a parabolic System Camber profile that stays balanced and predictable underfoot. Updated Grip Tech plus 3D Fender Technology smooth the contact points so turns come on clean and catch-free. Where it changes is the build, with a poplar and paulownia Highland core, a biax glass layup, and an extruded base that bring the cost and weight down while staying durable and simple to maintain. A slightly softer flex finishes a board that's forgiving by design and made for everyday resort laps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePulling the build back means it doesn't have the pop, edge hold, or top speed of the full Element, so harder chargers will outgrow it. An extruded base also wants a bit more regular waxing than a sintered one to keep gliding well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a directional twin with a centered, neutral stance, so it rides true to size; pick the length that matches your height and weight, and only move up if you want a bit more stability when you're carrying speed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arbor","offers":[{"title":"154","offer_id":51894556492072,"sku":"AR7027111|154","price":479.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"156","offer_id":51894556524840,"sku":"AR7027111|156","price":479.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"158","offer_id":51894556557608,"sku":"AR7027111|158","price":479.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"160","offer_id":51894556590376,"sku":"AR7027111|160","price":479.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"162","offer_id":51894556623144,"sku":"AR7027111|162","price":479.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"164","offer_id":51894556655912,"sku":"AR7027111|164","price":479.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2027-arbor-element-decon-snowboard-ar7027111-1-ar7027111-alt1.jpg?v=1789412204","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2027-arbor-element-decon-snowboard-ar7027111","provider":"SkiEssentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
