2027 Arbor El Camino Snowboard

The Arbor El Camino is a directional cambered board built for riders who want to move fast, hit hard, and stay completely in control while doing it. This is Jared Elston’s pro model, and it carries that same mix of power and precision his riding is known for, charging gnarly lines, going big in high-consequence terrain, and making it all look smooth and deliberate. It leans firmly into the freeride side of the spectrum, but with a shape and feel that still lets you move creatively across the mountain. There’s a strong sense of flow to this board. It’s quick edge to edge, composed under pressure, and always feels like it’s working with you rather than against you.

On snow, everything about the El Camino feels connected. The parabolic camber profile builds energy through the length of the board and releases it cleanly, giving turns a smooth, driving feel without any dead spots. It transitions edge to edge with surprising ease for a board in this category, helped along by the slightly directional shaping and compact Grip Tech contact points that keep it locked in when the snow firms up. When you open it up, the 8–9 flex holds strong and stays composed, but it never feels overly rigid or demanding underfoot. The Carbon 2 layup adds a snap that’s noticeable when you load it up, while the Highland III core keeps things responsive and light. It carries speed naturally, holds an edge when it matters, and feels at its best when you let it run.

Key Features

• Terrain – Resort / Backcountry
  Built for riders who want to charge hard across the entire mountain, from high-speed resort laps to technical backcountry lines and natural features.
• Shape – Directional
  A slightly directional shape with subtle taper and setback delivers added stability, float and control while maintaining enough balance for freestyle-inspired riding.
• Profile – Parabolic Camber
  A parabolic camber profile uses blended radii to create smoother edge engagement and release, combining strong edge hold with a less catchy feel.
• Flex – 8–9/10
  A powerful, aggressive flex built for advanced riders who prioritise stability, response and confidence at speed.
