The House

Just because riders have big feet doesn't mean that you should sacrifice performance, and the Forum Raider was designed with that in mind. Instead of starting with a plank, Forum starts with a progressive freestyle shape and tweaked it in all the right places to accomodate larger sizes without making it ride like a diving board.

Features:

  • Bi-ax Laminates - Makes for a fun forgiving torsinal flex
  • Directional Shape and Flex
  • Eff.edge (cm): 119
  • Lite Rail Core - All wood, tip to tail grain orientation with hardwood on the edges for greater durability
  • Nose/Tail (cm): 30.7
  • Sidecut (m): 8.0
  • Sintered 4400 Base - Combines the best of both worlds. Has the speed of a sintered base, with the easy repair of a traditional P-tex
  • Waist (cm): 26.5

The Forum Raider Wide Snowboard hooks up big-booted riders with more pop on the kickers and a slightly directional shape for flotation in the fluffy stuff. Whether you like to spend time on tabletops, parking lot rails, or in the pipe, the Raider Snowboard’s medium flex ups the fun factor. Forum shaved this board's weight by using a tip-to-tail poplar core, so you can easily squeeze that last bit of rotation from your backside 540. The Raider also includes an easily maintained P-Tex 4000 base to save you repair time after a rail sesh.

Forum Raider Snowboard: Riders with bigger feet just need a bit more board, not a boat. The Forum Raider Snowboard meets the needs of the size 11+ foot in a very agile, all-mountain directional, with no extra bulk. Forum’s FullyGNARTM core and Quadrax glass laminates are the keys to this easy-turning ride. The tip-to-tail wood laminates compliment the four-way glass matrix for consistent flex through the arc of each turn. The Fluid Base is wax-impregnated for max speed and minimum maintenance.

Not bad, for us big foots

Rating:****
Finding a freestyle board to fit a size 13 is hard, especially when your looking to go 160 and south. This board is everything the big footed freestyle rider is looking foor. Its got plenty of pop and great flex but stays firm on the rails. Can't attest to the toughness as I've only riden it twice but overall I recommend this board to any big footed freestyle rider. It gets the job done.

The International Shipping System of Backcountry is not that good...I´m from Argentina and from the 4 times I bought gear from them (paying a really expensive Express UPS Shipping, almost the same amount of money I payed for the gear), only once the gear got on schedule. I ordered this board on March 5th, and took them 4 days just to send it from their warehouse to UPS USA for shipping! I payed U$S 165 just for the 7 day international shipping and still waiting, in UPS they say that perhaps it will get here on March 16th. Probably their shipping inside the US is reliable, I really can´t tell, but if you are an international customer I would recommend you to check how trustworthy is your local UPS before buying anything.
