This is a brief overview of all the 2020 Endeavor Snowboards.
First let's look at any new boards for the 2019-20 season, and any old 2018-19 boards that aren't returning with a 2020 model.
Then let's take a look at each board the categories where I see them best fitting.

The new boards for 2019-20 are:

All 2020 Endeavor Snowboards by Category
I have categorized Endeavor's 2019-20 line below. This is according to the categories here at SnowboardingProfiles.com and not necessarily the same as what Endeavor labels them as.
Of course these are only broad categories as every board is different, but this is a rough guide.
All of Endeavor's boards come in unisex sizing, so there are no men's or women's specific boards.
ENDEAVOR BEGINNER SNOWBOARDS
ENDEAVOR PARK/FREESTYLE SNOWBOARDS
ENDEAVOR ALL-MOUNTAIN-FREESTYLE SNOWBOARDS
ENDEAVOR AGGRESSIVE ALL-MTN-FREESTYLE SNOWBOARDS
ENDEAVOR ALL-MOUNTAIN SNOWBOARDS
No Endeavor board strictly fits into my definition of this category, however, the Clout is pretty close.
ENDEAVOR AGGRESSIVE ALL-MOUNTAIN SNOWBOARDS
ENDEAVOR FREERIDE SNOWBOARDS
ENDEAVOR POWDER & SHORT/WIDE SNOWBOARDS
ENDEAVOR SPLIT BOARDS
Summary
So there you have the 2020 Endeavor snowboards.
Whilst it's not a massive line, the boards cover a wide range of different categories. Each board is quite different from one another, making a really diverse line. They seem to have everything they need with nothing bloating the line.
Note that Endeavor use the Channel system, so if you like the idea of the Channel system and/or EST bindings, but want the option of looking at something other than a Burton board, then Endeavor offers that, which is cool.
I had the privilege of riding several (7 of the 9) 2020 Endeavor boards last winter/spring, which was the first time I have ridden any Endeavors. Some of those reviews are on the site already (see the link at the button below for all of them) and some of which I will continue to publish.
I look forward to your review! Thanks Nate.
When will your Archetype review be posted? Cheers
Hi MJP
Thanks for your message.
I hadn’t lined it up to publish yet, but I will move it up the queue. Hopefully sometime around the middle of the month
Cheers Nate, thank you. Looking at the specs I am intrigued. I’m interested how the tail affects the ride here vs something like say the Nidecker Mellow with a more traditional pow/carver profile. It has a ton of taper but I feel like the tail can really be manipulated and you can change tighten up the sidecut to make it carve more like a non tapered directional board.
Hi MJP
Yeah, I would it’s not as tapered feeling as I expected, compared to what the specs suggest. Definitely feel it when trying to ride switch on it – feels super weird riding it switch (maybe some of that psychological when you look down at that tail in front of you!). But riding in it’s intended direction it’s not as much of a surfy, kick out the tail kind of feel that you would expect with that much taper. It’s a board that actually felt better to carve on than to surf on. That said, I didn’t get any real powder on it, so I couldn’t say for sure how surfy it would feel in deep powder. But not as surfy even in general as other boards I’ve ridden with similar or even less amounts of taper. More aggressive than I expected.
I haven’t ridden the Nidecker Mellow, so I can’t compare directly to that.
Alrighy well I look forward to it. Lots have commented thay it rips on the groomers given it is sold has a pow stick. Thanks Nate
