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.
Bottom Line: The whole mountain becomes your personal terrain park when you strap into the Forum Raider Wide Snowboard.
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.
