Endeavor Apollo W26 Snowboard
ENAPL-W26-156
The Endeavor Apollo Snowboard loves a deep pow day and slushy hit run equally.
The long nose and tail combined with 3D camber give the Apollo a unique ride; the short effective edge makes it nimble and quick to turn but the overall length ensures stability.

Inertia Carbon Rods
Unlike traditional carbon layups, our Inertia Rods are made the same as fishing rods. This produces incredibly strong, 3D rods with a variable diameter that can be tailored to produce specific rates of flex and rebound in any direction. This results in unparalleled rates of response, predictable and consistent flex and durable strength.
Smoothride Sidewalls
Winner of the ISPO Innovation Award, Smoothride Sidewalls are infused to the wood core. Urethane sidewalls 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 smoothest ride ever.
3D Camber
3D camber simply bends up the contact points on the board, allowing the base surface to run as long as possible while eliminating the contacts from catching while flat basing on cat tracks.

Contact length is the measurement from tip to tail of the edge that touches the snow when the snowboard is weighted, determined by the camber profile.
Great board control, nice feel on the fresh tracks, grabs the snow very well and amazing in powder! Incredible board
Thanks Brandon! Love hearing this. Hope the Clout X Martha Sturdy Snowboard gives you plenty of good days.

The clout does what the design team set out to do - create an adaptive ride that can handle a bit of everything. It has to be ridden with a very centred to centre-back stance as the long nose with the shaping (as well as the nose being softer than the tail) mean that the balance point feels closer to the back foot. The board will carve well but it’s short effective edge limit it. The shaping helps the board pivot well is broken snow and moguls. A very fast base finishes it off. Great board. Big riders will likely overpower it as I am not that big and I am riding the largest size. I took a photo of the nose/tail shaping - this is a very significant part of the design of this board and it changes the ride dramatically. I believe Endeavour has better boards for riding groomers. I have also bought an Alpha so I will post a new review when I have had a chance to rise that deck. Covid has shut things down for a month...
Thanks Chris! Love hearing this. Hope the Clout X Brent Comber Snowboard gives you plenty of good days.

This board rips on all terrain types and is a total joy to ride. Highly recommended!
Thanks Caine! Stoked the Apollo Directors Snowboard is working for you. Enjoy the season.

5'11 180 shoe size 10.5, I bought the 160W. This board serves as an aggressive all mountain shredder for me. I can really lock the edge in ans lay into hard carves but also do butters and get rotations around off jumps when i want to.
Thanks Daniel for the review. Glad the Clout X Martha Sturdy Snowboard is delivering. See you out there.

Needed a new board after 15+ years of being idle and thought I would give this board and Endeavor a first time opportunity. Service was great (very responsive on their website), and couldn't have been happier on the quality of the board for my intermediate level of boarding on the hill

You feel totally in control on this board. Its camber allows it to edge in any condition of snow well, even slush and thin powder. It is also super lightweight, making powder surfing easier as well. The base seems like it's made of kevlar or something, but it would not scratch even through a whole season. I wouldn't ride this in the park, I'd prefer my Guerilla for extra flex and pop. Overall, fantastic board that does its job perfectly.
Thanks Stanley! Stoked the Clout X Martha Sturdy Snowboard is working for you. Enjoy the season.

Great feel, solid build, good weight. Can accelerate quickly and ride any feature in the park. Great board overall!

Have only ridden 2 days on it so far... still playing with my stance position but it's ploughed through the pow so far.
Thanks Jonnie for the review. Glad the Clout X Brent Comber Snowboard is delivering. See you out there.

Good things come in 3's: 3 kinds of fiberglass, 3 kinds of wood, 3 dimensional camber, 3rd Clout for this guy!
Thanks Mitchell for taking the time. Great to hear the board is dialed. Have a good season.
