Review: Forum Star Snowboard

By Published On: October 29th, 20090 Comments

Dave here at the House, talking about the Forum Star snowboard. What you’re looking at here is an intermediate all mountain snowboard from Forum snowboards. Super good build quality. Good durability, good quality coming out of the Forum guys now a days.

What you’e looking at in this one is a directional snowboard, slightly longer nose than tail with a 4×2 insert pattern. That’s gonna be really good for dialing in your specific stance that you’re looking for. Slant wall construction on this one, really, really durable. Protects the innards of the snowboard, gives you good grip on the icy hard packed terrain. From there moves into a nice thin construction around the nose and the tail. It’s gonna reduce the swing weight and keep the overall weight of the snowboard itself down.

Moving into the base; you’ve got an extruded base, its die cut, so really crisp, really bright lines to this one. You won’t have to wax this one quite as much. It will be easy to repair, if you get a lot of nicks from rail or rocks.

Stiffness level on this bad girl here, you’re rocking about a four out of ten. I would say entry level to intermediate all mountain. Probably the same for freestyle usage too; but definitely really, really good bang for the buck, middle of the road construction so it’s super versatile, a Forum Star snowboard.
