Endeavor High5 Series - 2012

If we were judging snowboard on their graphics, the High5 would be a winner again, for the third year in a row. Computer games concept artist Derek Stenning killed the High5 graphics last year with the iconic Cosmonauts series and this year his Military Patches themed work is equally exciting… somebody please buy the man a beer! Besides its stunning exterior the High5 packs a lot of features and top level performance between its base and topsheet. Conventional triaxial fibreglass has been replaced with Basalt fibres, changing the feel of the board and reducing the weight. The flat kicks allow Endeavor to increase the effective edge of the High5 by a couple of centimetres, giving you the opportunity size down a couple of centimetres on your usual board size without losing edge hold. Under the bindings is a new layer of rubber dampening improving stability and reducing vibrations on sketchy snow. The Endeavor High5 is a missile of a freestyle snowboard for advanced riders who focus on big park and pipe transitions and like to catch plenty of air.

Manufacturer's Description:

The High5 is a premium freestyle board. It has a medium flex for riding hard in the powder, but can also get jibby in the park. It charges through pow with its skate style Flat Kicks on the tip and tail. The Flat Kick also allows for a longer effective edge enabling the rider to go down 2cm from what they usually ride. It has mad pop for jumping and a good sidecut, making it responsive for nice carves and freeriding. It’s the all-mountain go to board that is a must have! Plus being mid-wide, it eliminates toe and heel drag.
