Endeavor Trooper Pro Snowboard
ENTRP-W26-154
Designed for Exploring.
The Trooper Pro is a directional powder snowboard made to ride short. The Trooper is built for all conditions. Ridden short, the generous waist fits your boots and bindings without toe or heel drag. Taper and hover camber sink the tail and lift the nose when it gets deep, and the tapered pin tail keeps it nimble everywhere else.
Medium flex. There's no plastic topsheet: the top layer is Phonon pre-tensioned fibreglass, with 11 carbon stringers and tri-axial fibreglass over a poplar and paulownia core, a sintered ISO Speed 7500 base and 95A SmoothRide urethane sidewalls. The 156 weighs 2.4 kg (5.4 lb). 4x2 inserts.
CHOOSE YOUR SIZE
- Powder: Size up for maximum float.
- All Mountain: Run your normal size to bomb everything.
- Freestyle: Size down for tight turns and hit runs.
Sizes 152, 154, 156 and 158. Waists run from 265 to 270 mm, and rider weight runs from 65 to 90 kg (140 to 200 lb) across the range.
The Phonon manufacturing process leaves small variations in the finish, which give each board its own character.

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.
Ride It Short
Ridden short, the generous waist fits your boots and bindings. The tapered pin tail keeps it nimble and easy to turn.
Pre-Tensioned
A Phonon pre-tensioned fibreglass top layer and 11 carbon stringers store energy as the board flexes and give it back out of turns and off jumps.
Hover Camber
Camber from the tail contact point to just above your front inserts, then early rise to lift the nose out of the snow.
SmoothRide Sidewalls
95A urethane sidewalls damp vibration on hard snow.
4x2 Mounting System
Adjust your stance width in 2 cm increments. Compatible with a range of binding brands.

The 156 weighs in at 5.4 lbs (2.4 kg). There's no plastic topsheet: 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. Eleven carbon stringers and triaxial fibreglass sit over a poplar and paulownia core. Underneath is a sintered ISO Speed 7500 base, with 95A SmoothRide urethane sidewalls to damp vibration on hard snow.

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.

For jumps or an everyday board, ride your normal size. To charge the whole mountain, size up. If you have big feet or sit between sizes, go for the wide.

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.
