Endeavor Snowboard Design was created in 2002 by Max Jenke-retired Pro rider and Scott Serfas-Senior Staff Photographer for Transworld Snowboarding Magazine. The owners are Max Jenke, Scott Serfas and Rob Dow also a retired pro rider! Having these guys run a brand with such strong influential backgrounds makes for a solid brand as a whole.
The Board of Directors Series is designed for the rider looking for a clean look with a nice responsive side cut and pop. It is a directional freestyle snowboard making it ideal for riders who love to jump in the park or powder, and make fast fun turns in powder or hard pack! The flex rating on this board is on the stiffer side of the Endeavor line rating a 2 out of 10 (with 1 being the stiffest)! It is one solid poppy deck! Even though it has a stiff rating and is epic for charging lines and jumping, I still love riding the 157 on jibs and rails in the park. It’s solid and stable, but maneuvers very well making it fun on all features. For 2011 it comes in a 154cm-157cm-160cm. Kale Stephens, Endeavor team rider who has always been on top of the snowboard world pushing the limits chooses this board for every day use and for charging powder and jumps! Art is very important to Endeavor making each and every model stand out in it’s own way. The art work for this series was done by Vancouver, Canada artist Vince Chan who has done work for Crooks and Castles, Complex, and Hypebeast to name a few. It is a clean look and the graphic is sick! One of the huge reasons that Endeavor is so amazing is that they make sure the materials used for the entire line are top notch and art work from world renowned artists is used for the graphics! It’s a package deal that makes their snowboards on top of the game.
