Element Decon simplifies an all-mountain classic
The Arbor Element Decon is a directional twin snowboard that puts the Element's reengineered System Camber platform into a simpler, easier-to-maintain build. A Highland wood core keeps the ride light, and an extruded base trades outright glide for at-home tuning that doesn't require a wax iron every week. Biax fiberglass keeps flex predictable rather than twitchy underfoot. The same Parabolic Camber and 3D Fenders as the Element carry over here, so the dynamic edge engagement and softer turn release aren't compromised by the lighter build.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I hit a mellow park feature before lunch and the fenders kept the landing smooth instead of catching an edge. Later on a groomer run, the camber still held a confident edge through fast turns, even with the simpler base underneath me."

Phantom Glide By DPS Skis
This snowboard is compatible with Phantom Glide, the long-lasting base treatment from DPS Skis. Backcountry technicians apply and UV-cure it before the board ships, so it arrives ready to ride with no waxing needed.
How It Works
Applied By Backcountry Techs
Backcountry technicians treat and UV-cure every board in the shop before it leaves the warehouse, so it arrives ready to ride with no setup required.
Glide That Outlasts Wax
Wax sits on top of the base and wears off in a few days. Phantom Glide bonds into the base, so glide stays fast and consistent from cold powder to spring slush.
No More Wax Days
Phantom Glide replaces scraping, ironing, and shop visits with a quick base cleaning using the Phantom Glide Base Care Kit. The formula is made without PFAS.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I choose a size for the Arbor Element Decon Snowboard?
Choose from the available 154, 156, 158, 160, 162, and 164 cm lengths using rider weight and boot fit as your main guides; then consider ability and terrain. A shorter length favors easier maneuverability, while a longer one can feel more stable at speed.What conditions suit the Arbor Element Decon best?
Its directional twin shape and System Camber platform make it a versatile choice for resort riding, including groomers and variable snow. It can handle some powder, but its listed design is aimed at all-mountain resort use rather than dedicated deep-snow riding.How does the Element Decon compare with other all-mountain snowboards?
The Element Decon combines camber-driven edge engagement with 3D Fenders designed to support a softer turn release. Its biax laminate is intended to provide predictable flex, making the design a balanced resort option rather than a board built around a single specialized condition.What bindings fit the Arbor Element Decon Snowboard?
Pair the board with snowboard bindings whose mounting disc supports its 4×2 inserts, and choose a binding size that matches your boots. Set the bindings for your preferred stance and riding direction before tightening the hardware.How should I care for the Element Decon’s extruded base?
Dry the board after riding, paying attention to the edges and binding hardware, and store it clean and dry away from direct heat. Wax the base regularly, tune the edges as needed, and inspect the base and edges for damage; the extruded base is designed to simplify at-home tuning and repairs.
