Graphic Inspiration

Acetate colour combinations are generated by mixing organic colours with acetone and the raw acetate
plant based material. Rollers help mix the paste onto already thin flat sheets of acetate to achieve the special colour effects.

Complex colourations are produced by layering several colours and sandwiching them together or pressing them through a variety of dies. The acetate film may be chopped into small cubes and rollered again. These layers are molded into large blocks. After which technicians intricately slice off single new sheets which are dried in large kilns for several weeks to cure the material.

For this collection of snowboards, we photographed slices from these blocks of material to showcase the depth
and complexity of this aesthetically stunning material.

Absolutely the best board .This was for my wife as I purchased a 160W a few years ago. We took them to Japan, and as advertised, they slay in powder and are the best overall board to lay down speed runs on a variety of conditions as they hold like a GS board .

Holy $#@& crap

This is hands down one of the most fun snowboards I've ridden in my 32 years of snowboarding. Fast responsive and supportive. It's there when you need it like AAA. Seriously if your thinking about buying one just click the damn button. You will not be disappointed. I swear.

Carves beautifully

I’ve been eager to ride an Endevour for a while.
The Archetype did not disappoint!
Carves amazing.

*A board like no other from a great company*

Been riding for 30+ years and have never experienced a board like this. The float and pop are off-the charts. The shape is perfect for high-speed long low angle turns AND unrivaled performance in tight/steep trees - in which I was previously too intimidated to hit with other brands/shapes.

Also, the customer service and support is everything you'd expect from this highly reputable brand.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - buy this board

A solid board for any quiver

I've got a 2022/23 version of this board it's been all around a nice surprise. I picked it up as a 'resort powder' board, something I could have fun with on the groomers, and also work well as I venture into the trees to find little stashes around the mountain a day or two after a storm. It's been described by Endeavour as "The ultimate powder board", which it's not. What it is is a very competent powder board that gets you the bonus of 'pop' in jumps and turns due to it's relatively long tail, but general float suffers somewhat. The tradeoff is worth it for most days, but I've had at least once this season already when I wished I was on my 'deep powder' board. To be fair though, that was after two successive storms and the powder was over a meter deep in places.

So it's only got above average performance in ~deep~ powder, but the sweet spot seems to be in >20cm stashes where you can float, but really push to the bottom when needed with the full-length tail. It really shines in between these stashes on the groomers. Where most 'powder' leaning boards flat out suck to carve groomers on, this thing RIPS. It's fast, the tail is forgiving, and the taper gives it an old-school feel (the good kind). If my day is going to be exploring the mountain for powder stashes and carving packed powder in between, I can't think of a better board to do this on (and after 36 years riding, I've ridden a few).

I don't know if this would be a daily driver, but if you're looking to add to your quiver, it'd be a fantastic second board complimenting something more park oriented. Overall I'm very happy with this board, and stoked I got one before they introduced the 'acetate' graphics (seriously, WTF?).

Strongly recommended.
