Evogear (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.
Features:
- Base - Formula Base: With some suggested maintenance - like waxing and scraping - this ride will accelerate faster and hit a higher top-end speed. No more coming up short, coming in last or getting sloppy seconds on first run.
- Construction and Core - Gnar LE Core: Pro-strength core provides both a lively ride and snappy pop. Grainbelt tech adds snap-resistant strength in the critical impact zone between the bindings
- Flex and Rider Style - Flex: 7 (1 Softer - 10 Stiffer) The Symbol is built for advanced rider who feels comfortable in most types of terrain and changing conditions and wants a board with enough flex to soak up the pow and lap the park.
- Sidewalls and Edges - Swingers Club Tech: CNC machines profile Forum wood cores so the ends are as skinny as a supermodel. Less density at the ends also means the tip rises faster in untracked terrain, making for a quick exit from sketchy situations

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.

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.

To find out how this board rides just watch Forum's new Team Video Forever. John Jackson and jake blauvelt created this deck to ride the way they want to. Everything from Double Corks in the back country to Cab 1080's in the park. This board slays it. It is super light, really responsive great twin-like shape, you will love it. | |
