Arbor Element vs Nitro Cinema

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. 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 Nitro Cinema uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 5/10 flex (medium). The Arbor Element targets intermediate riders while the Nitro Cinema is aimed at advanced riders.
