The Live has been in the Endeavor line up for 10 years & continues to be one the most popular in the range. This traditional camber version is a little livelier & snappier than its reverse camber brother. Specification: Profile: Traditional Camber Running length: 1181mm Waist
Width: 251mm Sidecut radius: 7700 Setback: Centred Flex: 5 (Specification based on the 159cm board)
Features: Tried & tested, with a rise between the contact points, Traditional Camber provides true performance. Edge hold & pop is generated by the boards shape fighting against the force provided by the rider. Both lively & responsive, there is a reason that traditional camber lives on. With a slightly longer nose than tail but still able to ride just as well switch as regular, the Directional Twin shape works well all over the mountain as well as in the park with increased float in powder over a true twin shape. Two parallel Carbon Beams run the entire length of the board providing a more responsive ride. They drastically improve the performance of the board with added memory & pop, without adding additional weight. The Phantom Core is 15% lighter than the Standard Woodcore making the board feel much lighter under foot. For increased edge grip & stability at speed a Triax fibreglass laminate is used. The extra cross laminate stiffens the torsional flex of the board. With high wax absorption the Sintered 7500 base permits high-speed riding. Multi layer Dampening makes the board more stable by reducing high-frequency vibrations that cause the board to chatter on hard snow. Found on every single Endeavour snowboard is a Negative Core Profile. Slightly profiled between your feet, this feature reduces weight & allows the board to flex more naturally & freely. The ABS sidewalls are stitched in place by what looks like fishing line. Stitched Sidewalls drastically increase the level of strength & durability. Wide Available
- If your large boots means you suffer from heel & toe drag then buy the wide version of this board. The Directional Twin shape on the Live is essentially just a slightly higher nose than tail. It has a consistent (twin) flex pattern throughout with the Endeavor Negative Core Profile in the middle & carbon beams that run tip-to-tail so no excuses when it comes to switch riding. I’m a big fan of mid-flex camber boards (which is exactly what this is) because of the stability – especially when it’s on an edge. So lining up for rails, landing spins & of course carving are all so much more solid on a board with camber. Is it for me? If the benefits of a traditional camber board are more important to you than better float in powder (or if you have another board for that), then this high quality, all mountain board, will satisfy all of your riding needs.
