Are the 13-14 boards available for purchase?

I would get the burton nug... I just got one and I love it! its small and soo easy to press and butter...only problem is the channel...you can get a good pair of est bindings for cheap if you search around... I find the nug is easier to pull tricks i've never done before which makes it easier to progress to a "normal sized board" - my 2 cents

Where does the Archer slot into everything? I have small feets so the waist width looks a bit better on that.

Basically, think of the kill box as a far less expensive nugg. The archer and Orion are the same shape but different materials—the Orion is slightly stiffer, more responsive and has a faster base than the archer (triax, sintered), and the archer is flexible and durable (bias, extruded).
Hope that helps!

And yes—a limited number are for sale now, pre 2013-14!

u should check out the bataleon airobic or global warmer. super soft and near impossible to catch an edge. plus if u get the global warmer, u can take it on pretty descent size booters

Where?? And how do the Killbox and the Rounds flexibility compare?

Currently, Kyle can get you set up if you email sales@echelonsnow.com. The Rounds and Killbox used to have a similar flex pattern, but now the two have a pattern that follows the archer/Orion —the rounds is now triax vs biax. That said, the deflection is only different by ~1.5mm. The rounds and Killbox are similar in flex style, in that they both use a carbon x pattern, whereas the Orion and Archer are much different in their composite placements.
