The Archetype is truly the only board you should take on a powder day and a must have in any snowboard quiver.
The Archetype has cemented its reputation as a quiver essential, being the original model that inspired the creation of the Endeavor Powder Quiver. Still an icon nearly 10 years later, the Archetype's versatile construction and unique riding experience continues to turn heads and make waves.

Due to the unique manufacturing process of the Phonon Topsheet, subtle variations and imperfections in finish may occur which give these boards their unique character.
Phonon Topsheet
Made in Canada, the Phonon Pre-Tensioned Fibreglass topsheet supercharges snowboard construction. Elastic energy built up in the continuous lamination process is released when the board is flexed. The result is a super lightweight, powerfully reactive ride, whether springing out of turns or popping off jumps.
Smoothride Sidewalls
Winner of the ISPO Innovation Award, Smoorthride 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.
The Channel™
A snowboard binding mounting system that provides a simple, reliable, and infinite stance options. The Channel is compatible with all Burton snowboard bindings, and with the proper mounting discs and hardware can accommodate nearly any snowboard binding from any manufacturer. Get micro adjustments in seconds.

Customer Reviews
So nice i bought it twice
This is flawless. Kudos to Endeavor for developing and building such a great board. It’s hard to express how much easier it is to float on powder with this tail structure and design. Many firms may try to copy this aesthetic, and try to charge more $$, but I know of none that match this board’s phenomenal performance!
Picked up a 162 archetype a couple years back because of Angry's constant praise on YouTube and do not have any regrets. The swallow tail allows the nose of the board to plane out like a boat on the water for effortless float. It's nimble enough to handle the trees, but truly shines in the open. Can't recommend enough to add to your quiver for the deep days.
Honestly, just go ahead and buy this board; you won’t regret it. I came across the prototype for the archetype back in 2014, and I knew that I had to have it. So, when they finally started selling it in 2016, I immediately bought one. It has been my all time favourite board ever since. Amazing in powder and super maneuverable through the trees but without sacrificing any speed or stability on the groomers. Fast forward 8 years and hundreds of days riding it, and it’s time for a replacement. Naturally, I bought the exact same board again as I can’t think of anything I’d rather have.
Is this the absolute very best board in the world for deep powder days? No, but it’s as close as you’re going to get without heavily compromising in other conditions. As long as you’re not a park rat, this is the ultimate all around board to tackle whatever mother nature throws as you and to have a great time doing it.
You just won't regret buying this board. I got 45+ days on it last year and it was great in all conditions.
