The House

All new for 2009, Forum Symbol series is best defined as a true directional, all mountain freeride board that is a favorite of Jake Blauvelt. The light triax glass lay up offers lean, responsive turning. The ultra hard formula base adds extra durability to guarantee all season speed. Inside, the Super Gnar LE 2 core creates a playful, poppy feel from tip to tail. With its slightly set back stance, there is no such thing as "out of bounds" for the Symboll.

Features:

  • Directional Board Shape
  • Directional Core Profile
  • Effective Edge (cm) - 129.00v
  • Flex - 7
  • Formula Base
  • Light Triax Laminates
  • Nose/Tail (cm) - 29.80
  • Sidecut (m) - 8.57
  • SuperGnar LE 2 Core
  • Waist (cm) - 25.20

Evogear (2010)

Forum Symbol Snowboard 2010: For rippers who salivate about sled access, gnar chutes and pillow stacks, Forum created the Symbol from scratch to flow with this naturally sick style. The big-gun shape features a 25mm setback for fast float on overhead days, while a Formula base speeds straightline exits from hairy lines. Jake Blauvelt and John Jackson – who both kill it in big terrain – have made The Forum Symbol their cover-shot stick of choice. We’ll just say it’s the one to rock if you call yourself a local in zones like Baker, Jackson, or Whistler.

Jump on the Forum Symbol Snowboard and keep your peepers open for untracked stashes. This all-mountain freestyle board has a directional shape and a slight setback made for charging steeps and dropping off features. Forum’s playful and poppy SuperGNAR LE 2 core includes 25% sustainable wood, and has a reduced swing weight that helps you throw complete rotations instead of hosting yard sales for the snow gods. The Symbol’s durable super-fast Formula base and quick-to-turn Light Triax laminate complete this all-mountain whip, so it’s ready to shred where only bravest dare.

The Forum Symbol Snowboard uses a combination of a twin-ish shape and setback stance to give you freestyle performance on the deepest powder days. It's no wonder you see this board under riders like Jake Blauvelt during booter-hucking video seggies.
