The 2024 Arbor Element Camber is the board that put Arbor on the map as their quintessential resort mountain twin. The Element has been with the brand for many years, and has received many redesigns and upgrades throughout its tenure, leaving us with the perfect all-terrain design we have today. Super high quality construction and versatile, performance focused tech make the Element highly reliable and durable, and not to mention one of the best looking boards on the mountain.

System Camber

If you want a highly responsive ride, crisp on-edge performance, and more pop for carving and ollies - all with smoother camber performance - then System Camber shapes are for you. The camber progressively reduces toward the tip and tail, making the leading edge less aggressive for cleaner on-snow performance.

Mountain Twin

This board is a twin but has a directional shaped nose and tail, so it can ride switch with no problems but will provide better float going forwards.

Core

Highland II Core – A newly developed screening process has allowed Arbor to hand select the very lightest and highest quality paulownia from sourcing partners. The result is a lighter, more responsive version of the Highland Core, known for highly reliable return and long-lasting durability.

BASE:

The new Jones Tweaker is a freestyle focused true twin that’s built to pop ollies, toss tricks, and carve creative lines in any terrain. A True Twin shape, buttery flex and True Camber profile give the Tweaker a playful, evenly balanced board feel, but don’t mistake the Tweaker for your average freestyle twin. The Jones Tweaker’s unique double-radius nose and tail profile maximise the running length of the blunted shape and offer amazing float, while the V-core profiling on the Tweaker’s Classic Core makes the flex softer between the feet for nimble maneuverability and stiffer in the tips for supreme stomp-ability. The Jones Tweaker has Traction Tech 2.0 edges for added edge grip riding through rough snow, and the spooned nose and tail edges on the 3D Contour Base 1.0 reduce edge to catch and make it easy to butter and boardslide. Finished with a Sintered 8000 base and an Eco-plastic top sheet, the Jones Tweaker is a durable and high-performance modern manifestation of a timeless true twin snowboard shape.

Classic core. Full wood premium poplar core than offers fun pop, even flex and solid durability. V-core 3.0.  A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride. Bio Resin is a bio-based epoxy made with 27% plant-based carbon instead of petroleum-based carbon. The organic raw materials used to make bio-resin are co-products or waste products of plant-based industrial processes. Bio-resin requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions to produce than conventional epoxy. All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability. ABS Plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. We improve the sustainability of our snowboards by using only recycled plastic. All Jones Snowboards are factory de-tuned at the tip and tail so you can go right from the shop to the mountain. Forever Flex is a new manufacturing process that helps stabilise the flex and rocker of a board for its lifetime. Like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, Traction Tech improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board. At the far ends of the sidecut, the radius is incrementally increased as the edge reaches the contact point. Gradually increasing the sidecut radius towards the contact point delivers smoother turn initiation and exit as the edge tracks in and out of the snow with a less abrupt transition.
