2025 Arbor Element Decon Snowboard

The Arbor Element Decon Rocker is a stripped-back version of Arbor’s classic all-mountain twin, built for riders who want a looser, more playful feel underfoot. The System Rocker profile offers catch-free turns and surfy flow, while the Decon construction removes extra weight for a more natural flex and direct ride.

It’s versatile enough to cruise groomers, explore side hits, and float in soft snow — perfect for riders who want all-mountain freedom with a lighter touch.

Decon Explained:
Decon boards are built with a simplified construction that removes extra layers to create a lighter, more natural flex and a more direct connection to the snow. They're designed to deliver a lively, responsive ride without sacrificing quality or performance.
