Sacrifice nothing! Arbor made this minituare version of the Element board simply because they knew it performed great and they wanted to see kids getting fitted with some serious technology instead of a washed out version of a pro model. The Arbor Element Mini Snowboard is a true twin, Power ply top deck with a biax glassing laminate that takes some of the stiffness out for a soft flex-medium flex cruise. The kids will love The System - True Rocker because a rockered board performs great in nearly any situation. Riders won't be held back by their deck and limited on what they can ride. The Arbor Element Mini Snowboard is the right step if you want to become a parent of pro-level talent in no time.
Product Details
Rocker Type
The System - True Rocker – The System is Arbor's rocker platform. Rocker is created by replacing the lengthwise positive arc of a traditional camber snowboard with a reverse shape similar to the profile of a surfboard. The design eliminates the leverage required to release and re-engage a camber snowboard's outside contact points, creating a more seamless ride. Rocker delivers easier turn initiation, cleaner tracking across the snow, better float in powder, and more fluid spins and slides.
Flex
Flex Rating: 4 (1 Soft – 10 Stiff) – This snowboard has a soft-medium flex rating which is perfect for riders who don’t want to be held back in the park or powder. Soft-medium flex boards’ are responsive, easy to turn, playful and forgiving. This snowboard will love the rails, hot-park laps but never turns down fresh snow
Shape
True Twin – A true twin snowboard shape is ideal for riders who want to ride switch and do some tricks. The nose and tail are identical and the flex is evenly distributed throughout the entirety of the board. True twins are perfectly symmetrical.
Core
Poplar Wood Core – Poplar wood cores are durable and lightweight. Snowboards made with Poplar are known to have a consistent and evenly distributed flex throughout.
Laminates
Biax – Biax laminate consists of fiberglass that is braided in two directions. The fibers are braided vertically at 90 degrees. This ensures a torsional flex that is more evenly distributed throughout the snowboard. For you, this translates to a snowboard that is easy to handle and jib friendly.
Power Ply Top – Structural, performance enhancing real wood. Protective film laminated to the power ply tops contains 30% bio-plastic and eliminates the need for toxic clear coats.
Ply [topsheet] – Hand-dyed ash
Sidewalls
360-Degree Full Wrap Sidewalls – Durability and impact resistance
Base
Extruded Base – Polyethylene pellets are melted down in extreme heat then forced together under a high pressure machine. The end result is a strong, solid, and smooth base that is easy to maintain, non-porous and extremely durable.
Binding Compatibility
4 x 4 Inserts
Specs
- Terrain: All-Mountain
Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice.
- Ability Level: Beginner-Intermediate
Ability Level
Beginner-Intermediate Someone who is new to the sport or working on linking smoother turns falls into this ability level. Typical beginner ski/snowboard qualities include: softer materials, narrower widths, and capped constructions. The idea is to create a ride that is easy to turn and very forgiving in case you become off balance or fall in the back seat. The addition of rocker in the tip and tail gives a catch-free feeling and shorter contact length when the ski/snowboard is flat on the snow, making it easier to turn.
- Rocker Type: Rocker
Rocker Type
Rocker A rocker board side profile is the opposite of a camber board, with a smooth downward curvature to it and less edge contact length when the board is weighted. Rocker boards float well in powder and pivot more easily underfoot. They also tend to be less “hooky” at both tip and tail and better for landing spin maneuvers when you don’t quite have enough rotation.
- Shape: True Twin
- Flex Rating: Soft
Flex Rating
Soft The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
