Mirroring what the SmartPlanet review says, this board is a fabulous all rounder. I've done 2 weeks on this board now and its performance exceeds my old Burton Custom - something I was nervous about in the purchase.
It has helped to improve my jumping as well as having an uncanny knack of righting you if en edge is imminent. Its speed is without question ( although I ride a short 158 ) and it has been at home on the piste and what powder I have managed to find this season :-(
You will glow with pride in the lift queues as uber-cool boarders cock their necks to have a gander. Once more as SmartPlanet says though, be prepared to hold your temper - "one more French schoolkid touches that top sheet and I'm gonna...."
Final word on its looks - someone tried to pinch it in Tignes last week interrupted only by my unusually early exit from post boarding revelry. Invest in a board lock.
Picture taken with my cat, Alley - she also approves of the Arbor Element's green credentials.
