The Archetype has garnered a reputation as a quiver essential. The Archetype is the original model that spawned the Endeavor Powder Quiver. With an ability to throw down in any condition, the kicked swallow tail cuts through powder like a hot fork through ice cream yet it has the stability to pop a natural feature and land with confidence, producing a truly unique riding experience. A critically acclaimed design, the Archetype continues to turn heads and make waves.

Carbon beams are placed in strategic positions in the tail to increase pop, snap and drive out of turns without adding overall weight compared to traditional fibreglass only constructions. By adding beams to the swallow tail we are able to stiffen the tail up to provide stability and the power to carve that isn't matched in a swallow tail board. Carbon also adds flex memory, supporting the camber shape so the board remains lively over time and use.
We are continually looking for new ways to push the boundaries of graphical processes in snowboard design. This season the Powder Quiver takes inspiration from urban architectural landscapes and the undulating faces of many of the worlds most recognizable architectural structures. From the western concourse of Kings Cross station in London to the brutalist concrete studwork of the Montreal Metro, we took elements from these dynamic, flowing shapes and developed them into four uniquely similar yet different graphics.
Strong, faster, easier and designed to help dial-in the perfect stance for you. The Channel® gives you the ultimate control of your stance and your board in a design compatible with all major bindings.
Infused urethane sidewalls which reduce vibration and impact, similar to how urethane skateboard wheels create a smooth ride on rough concrete. Dampening the ride, reduces board chatter and leg fatigue and provides the ride with the smoothest ride ever.
