Endeavor Men's Archetype 2021

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.

Features:

• The Channel ®
• Smoothride Sidewalls
• Core: Poplar + Paulownia w/ Birch reinforcement
• Base: Dura Surf 4001 Sintered
• Tri-axial Fibreglass
• Carbon Beams: Carbon beams are placed in strategic positions to increase pop and snap without adding overall weight compared to traditional fibreglass only constructions. carbon also adds flex memory, supporting the camber shape so the board remains lively over time and use.

Camber Profile:

Hover Camber

Featured exclusively on Endeavors powder quiver range, hover camber combines traditional camber behind the front foot to the tail with an elongated early rise out to the nose. this raises the nose out of soft snow and allows the tail to sink in allowing you to surf through the soft stuff.

Shape:

Directional

Directional boards typically have a longer, pointier nose, with a stance set back towards the tail. This makes them better suited to riding forwards. These boards will carve well on the piste and plough easily through powder – since the short tail naturally sinks while the large nose floats over the snow.

Powder-specific models will often deploy a so-called ‘swallow tail’ to accentuate the effect. 

Flex:

Medium

6 (1-10 Scale)

Base:

Dura Surf 4001 Sintered

Durability and speed in a highly absorbent package means these bases will never slow you down. Lots of tiny pores open up and absorb wax every time you service to give you a superior slide. Dura surf is the hardest snowboard base in the industry, known for its reliability, strength, and speed. All endeavor bases are die cut pigmented base material and are finished by a belt sanding process and factory hot waxed so it can perform right out of the bag.
