Expert verdict

The Arbor Element Decon Snowboard is a fantastic choice for those who love versatility on the slopes. It's got that mountain-twin shape, which means it's great for both regular and switch riding. The System Rocker profile gives it a playful feel, perfect for those who enjoy a surfy ride. Plus, the Grip Tech contact points provide excellent edge hold, so you can confidently carve down the mountain. It's a great board for anyone looking to progress their skills without breaking the bank. Just be aware, it might not be the best for those who prefer a super stiff board.

The Element has been Arbor’s definition of freeride / all-mountain for over twenty years. And this year, for the first time, it’s available in a Deconstructed version at a value price offering. Same as the Element – the new Element Decon inherits what was the Coda’s shape to give it upgraded mountain-twin performance while maintaining its System Rocker parabolic shaping and Grip Tech contact points, making it a modern classic for resort riding rocker profile enthusiasts.

Mediocre experience
2 /5
Had some knowledge but was very slow to respond and didn't come across as engaged. Asked a few questions I had answered in my initial bio survey thing. Overall seemed nice, just distant and disinterested in teaching me about snowboarding gear. The important thing was that he helped me pick out a (seemingly) great board.

5 /5
New to the world of snowboarding, and had no idea where to begin. Spencer was as solid as they come. He was patient, checked in as I navigated the last couple months determining if this was right for me. At the end of the day, I am super excited for my gear and get out there to learn this sport and explore New England more than I already do! Spencer is the bomb.

Mark was super helpful in giving me options to get gear to get my very own snowboard set up! He went beyond just sending me purchase suggestions that fit me but also sent some videos on how to get my board and boots set up 🤙🏼 He was super responsive and even through text you can tell he has an awesome personality

Friendly, kind and so helpful. Found my first new board fit for a beginner. Seperate from Brandon’s great service, we will see how the board works out for me when I receive it! Not necessarily any reflection on service or the company. Just depends on the board and it works out for me. Looking forward to getting out and giving it a go!

I can't say enough good things about Mark! As a complete beginner to snowboarding, I was feeling overwhelmed by all the gear choices, but he made the process so much easier. Mark took the time to understand my skill level, budget, and needs, recommending the perfect board, boots, and bindings without pushing unnecessary upgrades. Not only was he knowledgeable, but also super patient and friendly, answering all my newbie questions and giving me great tips to start off right. Thanks to Mark, I feel confident and excited to hit the slopes! If you're new to snowboarding and need expert advice, I highly recommend him!

Ian is Awesome!
5 /5
I pretty much started&ended my day browsing at Curated website and exchanging messages with Ian. I had a different choice in mind since the size i was looking for a specific snowboard is now longer available. Ive been snowboarding for about 15years now and I'm pretty picky with my gear. i was just gonna get bindings here and ended up getting both the bindings and snowboard! -Jay Y.

Sarah is super helpful and knowledgeable!
5 /5
Sarah was so great to work with :). She knew what to recommend right away once I told her about my experience, current setup, and what I’m looking for. She’s very responsive, accommodating and nice. Even better that she recommended items that were both good in quality and perfect for what I need, but also the best prices around. She sure felt like just an advisor who is happy to help - not sales-sy at all. I’m not surprised she is a top rated curator - it is well deserved! I won’t hesitate to consult with her again on my next setup. You won’t be disappointed if you choose to work with her :)

Mike was an amazing rep to work with. He addressed a lot of my concerns and asked me questions to help me better understand what I was actually looking for. He is incredibly knowledgeable with different types of gear while having price ranges in mind. I had an absolute pleasure working with him, and I hope to bump into him one day on the slopes.

Dave provided expertise and answered all of my questions even though I told him I might not be making an immediate purchase. He had helpful tips about gear and riding in my area specifically. So thrilled I was able to chat with him and grab some gear before Curated says goodbye. He'll be an asset wherever he goes next:)
