Endeavor Snowboards, based in Vancouver, BC is a smaller snowboard brand but one with a lot of heart. Keeping their growth in check, yet constantly innovating and progressing their product and their team, Endeavor is the real deal. What's really cool about them is that just below their seemingly normal office in downtown Van is a lab containing all the proper machinery to craft one of a kind snowboards on demand. This allows them to actually be able to try out new ideas instead of just dreaming them up and then maybe getting to see something months if not years later.
Now they've gone and teamed up with Redbull to offer a one of a kind contest. You have the chance to design a top sheet, upload your creation, and then four winners will be picked and not only will their designs be made into actual Endeavor snowboards, but you get to go on a catboarding trip to Powder Mountain Snowcats outside Whistler. How sweet is that?!
According to the Redbull site (full story here including a really nice look at The Archetype Lab), "Beginning on Feb 1st, 2013, Red Bull and Endeavor will be accepting graphic submissions for a month, and in March 2013, four winners with the best topsheet designs will experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at the Endeavor headquarters. At the Archetype Lab, the four Red Bull TopSheet winners will witness the creation of their own one-off Endeavor snowboards featuring their art. And to break their boards in with style, Powder Mountain Heli will take the winners BC backcountry shredding with the Endeavor team, documented by none other than legendary snowboard photographer Scott Serfas."
Sounds like a great opportunity for those of you out there with a bit of an artistic flair!
