The Element is a technically advanced all-mountain board for riders who readily transition from one terrain, snow condition, or riding style to another. Its balanced design provides the versatility needed for the true “ride-it-all” experience. The Element was designed to freely initiate into any spin or line alteration and hold a solid edge at speed, in the steeps, and through the pipe.

Full-Length Wood Topsheet. An exclusive technology that creates a one-of a-kind aesthetic, while improving performance. During construction, resin locks the dense wood fibers in place, producing an additional composite layer that allows us to increase durability and deliver a more responsive ride. The Element topsheet is made from sustainably harvested koa wood. Koa, or “warrior” wood, is native to the Hawaiian Islands, and was first used 1,000 years ago by the Polynesians to build the original surfboards.

Paulownia Wood Core. An ultra-lightweight core made from a 50-50 blend of paulownia and poplar. Paulownia is an ecologically cultivated, balsa-like species. Unlike balsa, it has the strength of traditional core materials, which allows us to deliver maximum weight reduction with no loss of durability.
