Endeavor Board of Directors Review
Endeavor Snowboards is a Canadian company that has caught our interest over the past few years. Their attention to detail and focus on pushing the envelope in both board design and aesthetics drew us in. The founders are deeply seated in snowboarding’s roots.

2013 Niche KNEW 152 Review
Niche Snowboards launched out of Utah this past season and the brand has already turned a lot of heads. Their goal of making environmentally friendlier snowboards has an obvious appeal but to be honest we didn’t know what to expect in terms of either finish or ride quality. With recycled plastics, plant-based resins and soy-based … Continue reading

Snowboard Addiction Freestyle Program Review
