Arbor El Camino vs Burton Cartographer

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freeride terrain, while the Arbor El Camino leans more freestyle. The Arbor El Camino uses a directional shape while the Burton Cartographer is directional twin. The Arbor El Camino has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Burton Cartographer uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
