Endeavor Trooper Pro Snowboard
ENTRP-PRO-152
Designed for Riding Short.
The Trooper Pro is a volume-shifted board: ride it shorter and wider than your usual board. It's the same idea as the Lib Tech Orca. The waist runs 265 to 270 mm across the whole size run, so a short board still has the surface area to float, and the short length turns quick in trees and tight spots. Taper and hover camber sink the tail and keep the nose up.
CHOOSE YOUR SIZE
- Size Down: Ride it about 4 cm shorter than your normal board. The 152 is built for the same rider weight as a 156 Scout (140 to 190 lb).
- Powder: Pick the top of your weight range for maximum float.
- Tight Trees: Pick the bottom of your weight range for quick turns.

Pre-Tensioned Fibreglass
Phonon pre-tensioned fibreglass is laminated under tension, so it stores energy as the board flexes and releases it as you come out of a turn or pop off a lip. No plastic topsheet, no wet-laid top glass.
Volume Shifted
Shorter and wider than a standard board. It floats like a longer board and turns like a short one.
Pre-Tensioned
Phonon pre-tensioned fibreglass and carbon stringers for pop, torsion and less weight.
Effortless Float
Taper and hover camber sink the tail and pop the nose.
The top layer is Phonon pre-tensioned fibreglass, laminated under tension so it stores energy as the board flexes and gives it back as you come out of a turn. Pre-cured carbon stringers sit over a poplar and paulownia core. Underneath is an ISO Speed 7500 base, with 95A Smoothride urethane sidewalls to damp vibration on hard snow.

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. Binding size is the maximum recommended.
Size guide
Pick a size by rider weight, then check your boot fits the waist.
Boot sizes are a guide, worked out from each size's waist width. If you are between sizes or have wide feet, go for the wider board. Binding size is the largest we recommend.

You can feel the volume shifted shape working in your favour.

Very good carving with solid edge hold. Nimble and easy to turn in the bumps.
6ft4, 225lbs 11 boot.
This shape was a game changer. Hover camber let me ride the deepest storm of the winter with ease.
You can feel the volume shifted shape working in your favour. I usually ride boards 162-168.
Wasn’t sure what to expect with 158 but Wow!
Pops really well. Incredibly light. Feels like something from the future.
Rode it for all the big storms last spring with a busted ACL, it floated and carved like a beast.
They knocked it out of the park with this one.
My new favourite board.
Thanks Tim! Stoked the Trooper Pro Snowboard is working for you. Enjoy the season.

Sometimes when you strap and turn your nose downhill, you get this feeling, a first impression of what a board is about. The Directors Trooper wanted to play. It felt like a eager puppy that just couldn’t wait to get out and play. About midday the weather turned. Clouds came in, temperatures went up and the powder turned heavy and wet and choppy. With the flat light and fast, bumpy snow I thought this might be where the light and playful Trooper is not the right board to be on. I was wrong. I miscalculated a drop and picked up speed too quickly, fast running out of space to put the breaks on. I got the fear, but the Trooper busted through, held the turn, and took me to safety. Rest of the day I spent getting to know the board at speed and I’m impressed. It’s an incredibly versatile board. It’s confidence in all settings rubs off on me and that makes for a lot of fun riding. I’m 190 cm and 95 kg and I have the 156 cm Trooper.

Since my recent purchase of the Endeavor Trooper Directors 156 I have had 6 sessions on it. Groomers, moguls, hard pack, chunder and some boot to shin Powder. Very good carving with solid edge hold. Nimble and easy to turn in the bumps. I had 3 of those days on double black/black pow runs. Even at 156 ,it has excellent float. I rode it with Burton Cartel EST Step On bindings( 1" back from REF) and Ion boots (10.5). I'm 6'0 and 200 lbs.
Three reason I bought this board were, 1 Canadian Company, 2 Channel System ( I like the EST thing) and 3 , YT review by Board Archive. Being Burton guy for most of my snowboard life, I am thoroughly impressed with this board,so much so I'm going to buy another Endeavor board! Questions were answered by Max, shipping was fast! If your looking for a board that can handle almost any conditions and keep a smile on your face, the Trooper Directors will not disappoint.
