Growing up around Whistler, Rob Dow was destined for a
career in snowboarding. Building his own snowboard in 1986
and purchasing a Sims Terry Kidwall in 1988 to ride up at
Blackcomb, it is safe to say that Rob has experience in the
industry.
Riding for brands such as Option Snowboards, Vans, Silence
Snowboards, Iris Goggles, and being part of the infamous
Wildcat crew, Rob Dow was a name well known in the
industry and with product innovation. His name endorsed
snowboards and boots which sold well due to his creative
outlook and knowledge of product design.
After finishing a successful career as a pro rider, Rob stepped
into his new roles at Whiteout Films, where he filmed,
produced, directed and edited Return of the Wildcats, Diaries,
Positron, and Blackout.
Today, Rob is an integral part of the Endeavor team with
product design, marketing, and sales.
SCOTTSERFAS
MAXJENKE
Snowboarding Since 1990
Snowboarding Since 1991
Born and raised in Vancouver, B.C., Scott got into
snowboarding as a way to deal with the wet winters. He used
to take photos of his friends on weekends and then send them
to the magazines. Shooting with an old manual camera on
cheap print film and processing it in 24 hours at the drug store,
Scott would then send a self addressed stamped envelope to
Jon Foster, Transworld Snowboarding Magazine photo editor
back then, with all his “jems”. He had no clue what he was
doing, and no doubt it showed.
Snowboarding for 18 years, Max looked up to local pros
Rob Dow and Scott Serfas. At age 16, he began traveling
with them on team trips with Option Snowboards and began
a career as a professional rider. A member of the infamous
Wildcat crew, Max was ranked as 5th Most Photographed
snowboarder by Transworld Snowboarding in 2000 and
appeared on the cover in the same year.
Fast forward 17 years and Scott is at the forefront of the
snowboarding industry. Now a Transworld staff photographer,
Scott has ranked consistently at the top of the list of published
photographers in snowboarding and most recently winning
the Transworld Photographer Shootout.
Still based in Vancouver, Scott travels the world documenting
professional snowboarding, is the Endeavor staff
photographer, and acts as a founder/director of Endeavor
Snowboard Design.
In 2001, his board sponsored dropped the adult range of
products to focus on the kids market, freeing up Max to try
out other brands boards. That same year, Max participated in
the Transworld Board Test, an invaluable experience where
he tested over 100 snowboards.
That summer, an opportunity presented itself to make some
boards and after product testing in Europe and New Zealand,
Endeavor Snowboard Design was launched in 2002 with the
help of Scott Serfas and Rob Dow.
Today Max is the managing director of Endeavor Snowboard
Design and manages to fit in over twenty five days on hill.

Vancouver Artist Creates the BF
Whistler Local Gives the Thumbs Up
We wanted to kick it retro on the graphic and pay homage to the
glory days of boardsports when shredders were outcasts. Warm
colours and gradients pop off the deck making you smile on the
coldest winter day. Grab your shades and slash some pow brah.
Graphic designer, band member, and artist, Janine Prevost is
immersed in all things creative. Taking a break from her busy
schedule, Janine lent Endeavor a hand at creating the BF Series.
Gillian Andrewshenko has been rocking Endeavor for
the past three years. She tripped when we came out with
a twin shape for her to take in the park. You can catch
her competing in Whistler and keeping the Endeavor
boys in line.

DESIGNEDBYNIGELQUARLESS
A HIT WIT THE GIRLS
Steps out of his comfort zone on the Diamond
The Diamond is always the must have deck
The Diamond is all about the union of opposites: reality and
imagination, aggression and nurturing, dark versus light. The
mythical wolf eyes draw you into the Diamond door, the vehicle
where imagination becomes reality in the Cosmos.
An illustrator by trade, Nigel Quarless stepped out of his
comfort zone with the Diamond graphic. Born and raised in
Vancouver, Nigel has been a snowboarder and artist for the past
ten years.
Since the Diamond was added into the line five years
ago, it has gained the reputation of being the nicest all
round freestyle/ freeride deck. It is always one of the
first boards to go out to shop employees who love the
graphics and a board that reps their style.

Vancouver resident artist takes graf worldwide
What other entry level boards do pros ride?
The Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, and London
Bridge have been devoured by art! The graphic idea that graffiti
is found in or on places that you usually would never dream of
speaks to revolting, attacking and pretty much encompasses the
whole guerrilla trait.
Rory has been working with Endeavor for four seasons now
and his work continues to amaze us. This particular project is
a step beyond anything we ever anticipated. The level of detail
in the graphic and the time spent on it makes this deck a true
work of art.
Why does a pro grab this deck out of the line to ride?
Because it performs at a pro standard. The Guerrilla
is an amazing directional freestyle board that meets
Johnny’s needs while filming his part for 8 Mile and
shooting with Scott Serfas.

Streets, parks, and slushy jumps beware
The Color Series is all about color - duh. Snowboarding is fun.
Cartoons are colorful and fun. Why not combine them in a dope
graphic and use them for the Color Series, that’s is exactly what
we did. Enjoy!
Vancouver designer Vince Chan killed this graphic design.
Vince has done extensive work in the streetwear scene, working
with Hypebeast and Crooks and Castles, to name a few. Multitalented, Vince combined photography, sketches and computer
design on this piece. www.opticalweapons.com
Whistler rider Kevin Griffin loves the Color Series
for all things jib and freestyle. His board of choice on
the street is the 148 and 151 for park. Peep his part in

DESIGNEDBYJOSHUASMITH
OURREVERSECAMBER
Joshua Smith uses his signature style vector art
Don’t catch those contact points
Joshua Smith loves skulls so it was no surprise when we gave
him the RC Series that he would come up with something like
this. Five different skulls in ceremonial head dresses are printed
on the topsheet with silver and gunmetal inks.
Florida based artist Joshua Smith has been working with
Endeavor since day one. His incredible vector art is
unparalleled. Joshua’s list of clients speaks for itself. Check out
his blog and portolio online at www.hydro74.com.
Our reverse camber boards are perfect for beginneers because of the 6mm rise from
center to nose/tail, preventing the rider from catching their nose and tail contact points.
Perfect for jibbers who want to lock into their prices or the rider who wants a fun mellow
board to throw around on hit runs.

Talented Artist exhibits his work with Endeavor
One board for the season - this one is it
The Live Series has always been a show piece in keeping
with this style, we chose to use it as Mr. Jago’s canvas. Going
to his studio in Bristol, we selected eight of his pieces. We
photographed these and applied them to what you are holding
in your hands.
Mr. Jago is as high profile as it gets - from working with
Addict Streetwear to exhibiting in numerous galleries around
the world, he has developed a following dedicated to his work
(we’re one of them). See more at www.mrjago.com.
Pro rider Johnny Lyall hates switching up decks so
he depends on the Live Series to be his multi purpose
deck. With a mellower flex and an RC available in the
156, Johnny knows he can roll this on a hit line day at
Whistler or take it to Brandywine for pillow lines.

A unique shape and aggressive construction
British Columbia is one of the most beautiful places in the world
so why not use it as inspiration for our graphic. Using an eco
bamboo topsheet as the canvas, the skyine of Vancouver is
juxtaposed with the skyline of our coastal mountains.
Trevor is an amazing artist that we came across on the internet.
Impressed by his portfolio, we commissioned him to gives us
a new take on a spray paint graphic. Trevor has done work for
numerous clients including the movie DISTRICT 9 and is based
out of Johannesburg.
Not for the beginner or slow poke on the hill, the Next
is our new take on freestyle. Definitely our most unique
board in the line because of the blunted high profile
nose and slight taper, this board performs like no other
at extremely high speeds and expert terrain.

Jody’sChoice
Vancouver based artist and conceptual designer
Jody Wachniak chooses the H5 for filming
The aesthetics of the H5 Series are mind blowing but it goes
deeper than that. Entartete Kunst is German for “degenerate art”,
a term developed by Nazi theorists to describe most modern art.
Trained in classical animation, Derek has spent the last 10 years
working in the animation and video game fields. He is currently
at Next Level Games working as a concept designer in the
studio’s business development/I.P. creation department.
The versatifilty the H5 offers makes this deck the
obvious choice for Jody when filming his part for
Sandbox. Jody rides rails, park, and huge custom hits
and needs to know that his board will react when he
needs it to.
