Arbor Element vs Burton Process

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Burton Process leans more freestyle. They share a directional twin shape — mostly twin with a slight directional bias—versatile for all-mountain and some switch. The Arbor Element has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Burton Process uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Arbor Element is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Arbor Element targets intermediate riders while the Burton Process is aimed at advanced riders.
