The 2026 Arbor El Camino is built for speed, stability, and sending it huge, just like its namesake, pro rider Jared Elston. Designed for freestyle-focused freeriders who love to go big, the El Camino is an aggressive directional board with a powerful camber profile, built to hold its line and boost off anything in sight. From massive resort hits to high-consequence backcountry booters, this board is engineered to keep up with your most epic days.

Why we like it:

There’s nothing subtle about this one. The El Camino is fast, stiff, and ready to launch. We like how locked-in it feels underfoot without losing that freestyle spirit.

Who it's for:

This one’s for experienced riders with a full-send mentality. If you’re more comfortable in the air than in the lift line and prefer boards that reward speed and commitment, the El Camino is your weapon of choice.

Highlights:

Built on Arbor’s Parabolic Camber platform, the El Camino offers tons of pop and edge control, while a slightly directional shape and stiff flex keep things stable when you're going fast or landing deep. Double carbon stringers and a sintered base boost durability and snap, and the insert system offers a ton of stance flexibility. With just enough Grip Tech to bite when it counts, this board handles speed with ease and lands like a champ.

Things to consider:

This is not a board for casual cruising or mellow park laps. The El Camino requires energy and precision, slower riders or those looking for a more forgiving feel will be better off on something softer or more surfy.

Fit & sizing considerations:

It runs true to size and should be ridden at or near your standard length. With a modest taper and camber throughout, it’s built to ride fast and land solid.
