Arbor Element vs Arbor Veda

How they compare

Both boards are designed for freestyle riding. The Arbor Element uses a directional twin shape while the Arbor Veda is directional. 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 Arbor Veda uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Arbor Veda is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range. At $549.95 vs $599.95 MSRP, the Arbor Element is the more budget-friendly option.
