Product Details

Rocker Type

The System RockerThe Rocker System combines a progressive parabolic arc rocker profile with a tri-radial Grip Tech sidecut design. Enjoy more natural and cleaner tracking turns with a high performance surfy ride.

Flex

91 = Soft, 10 = Stiff

Shape

Grip-TechA 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, more ergonomic way to grip the snow when additional control is needed.

Arrowhead TipExceptional float for powder-specific pursuits.

Tapered TailThe tapered tail finishes with a steeper, tighter rocker allowing you to sink the back and rail into quick turns ensuring highly responsive and intuitive board control.

Core

Single Malt Core LTArbor's standard wood core, made from 100% sustainably grown poplar for highly reliable return and long-lasting durability.

Laminates

Mixed GlassingA triax over biax lay-up that's best for versatility: pow, backcountry, groomers, jumps and more.

Sidewalls

360° RailsA 360°, 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.

Base

Sintered BaseA higher molecular weight, sintered base that provides added durability and speed.

Specs

  • Terrain: Powder 

    Terrain

     
  • Powder snowboards love powder. Often associated with freeride snowboards, powder boards sometimes feature a wider nose and a tapered narrower tail. The binding inserts, which determine the rider's stance, are often set back on a powder snowboard to help the rider float the tip of the board through the deep stuff. Powder snowboards sometimes also feature rocker, a design element where the tip (and tail) rise starts farther back on the board, which also helps the rider maintain tip float through the pow.
  • Ability Level: Advanced-Expert 

    Ability Level

     
  • Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

 

  • 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: Directional
  • Flex Rating: Very Stiff 

    Flex Rating

     

 

  • Very Stiff 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.

Reviews

Best powder boardReview by pingpong boarder
I've been boarding 20+ years, and with all the powder days at Mammoth this year, it was time to get a board that doesn't make my back quad burn like lava. I've been riding an Arbor Element for a long time, and love it, but this board is something else. I tried it for 3 days in Mammoth over President's weekend, with run after run of fresh track powder trees. The short tail makes it turn on a dime, and keeps the tip naturally up while not making you press the back leg down so much. It took a few runs to get used to, but what a blast. At times I felt like I was surfing and that it actually had fins underneath.
The shortness made it slower, and a little less stable on the groomed runs, but it more than made up for it in the trees.
I highly recommend it, and have ordered one for my wife. (Posted on 2/27/19)
