Endeavor Design Inc. was founded in 2002 in Vancouver, Canada dedicated to designing products we love to use.
With Endeavor Snowboards as the foundation, our rider owned and operated brand continues to grow. 20 years later, we enjoy coming to work on Monday morning to operate global brands Endeavor Snowboards, Airhole Facemasks, and Sandbox Helmets, selling to 35 countries and over 2000 retailers.
Primarily a winter focussed business, Endeavor runs a lean operation consisting of seven full time employees working out of our office in Vancouver. Here we control design, marketing, global and Canadian sales, finance, production, logistics, and customer support. A sales office in Los Angeles, CA controls our USA territory and throughout the world we have distributors selling our products to their respective country. We work with seven factories in China, where all of our products are made, and ship with 3PL warehouses in Canada, USA, and Holland.
#AlwaysEndeavor
Endeavor is a family business, owned and operated by pro snowboarder Max Jenke and his father-in-law Bruce Wells, a fashion manufacturer and retailer from New Zealand. Together, along with the management team who have become part of the family, the business continues to thrive. Passion, determination, resilience, and the excitement of opportunity propel Endeavor forward.
Endeavor’s sustainability strategy is focussed on a wholistic approach, not only protecting our natural environment, but also human and ecological health.
Inspired by Indigenous worldviews, we value these commonalties:
Interconnectedness and belonging - the understanding that all people are related, connected to each other and to all life on Earth.
Unity through collaboration - the foundation that people are all related and every group member then becomes accountable for their actions.
Land Stewardship - land is not merely a supplier for resources for the current generation, but an environment to be looked after for the next generations.
In order to qualify this commitment, we’re now a Certified B Corporation. The combination of third-party validation, public transparency, and legal accountability help Certified B Corps build trust and value. B Corp Certification is administered by the non-profit B Lab.
B Corp Certification means Endeavor Design Inc. has been verified as meeting B Lab’s high standards for social and environmental impact, that it has made a legal commitment to stakeholder governance, and that it is demonstrating accountability and transparency by disclosing this record of performance in a public B Corp profile.
B Corp Certification does not mean that a company is perfect, nor that it has achieved its highest impact. It does show that it is part of a global community of business working collectively for economic systems change, and that in order to stay committed to this work it must meet rising standards for social and environmental performance.
Stakeholder governance is a growing corporate governance alternative to shareholder primacy — the prevailing doctrine under capitalism that pushes companies to prioritize profit above all else, driving inequality, environmental extraction, and social fragmentation. B Corps make a commitment to consider the interests of all stakeholders in their business operations: workers, customers, communities, and the environment.

ILSA provides Indigenous youth with opportunities to play, express themselves, improve both their mental and physical health, as well as learn skills such as snowboarding, skateboarding, biking, climbing, hiking, and golf that can benefit them long into their adult years.
