So...I was looking for a volume shifted shape in 2020, and I ran across the Endeavor Maverick (no longer in production); however, the Scout is what I ended up going with.
The Scout is truly volume-shifted, whereas the Maverick just had less aggressive taper.
I went with a 156 (the first time); I'm 5'10" and 178 during the winter when I'm lapping chairs. In the summer it's like 185...sigh.
The 156 is the best board I've ever ridden in tress and also the best at powder in trees.
It's top 5 in powder as well.
This board has saved my behind more times than I can count in moguls as well, due to it's freestyle roots. The front foot edge will dig in when the back break loose, allowing my to put 95% of my weight on my front foot (usually toeside) edge and still be able to carve.
I've never ridden a board that I could throw around like this.
Bid mountain, sketch snow, groomers, cat tracks are not this board's forte. It's not a speed demon, not does it lock in on hardpack or ice. I religiously tune my base and edges for these reasons.
I have used and abused it (multiple core shots), and I always wondered if 4cm smaller would be better, so here I am three years later buying another.
Since it has the channels people usually this it's a Burton, and I get a lot of questions on it, so be prepared if you don't like channels or talking about gear (which of course I like, since I'm leaving a review).
Thanks Endeavor for making this board!
