evo.com | Forum Snowboards > The Forum Recon Snowboard is that magical board every freestyle and freeride enthusiast dreams about...the one that pops perfectly off kickers and feels equally at home slashing through backcountry powder or stomping technical street features with effortless precision. This re-engineered all-terrain performer combines Forum's legendary freestyle heritage with cutting-edge freeride technology to create the ultimate quiver-of-one that transitions seamlessly from park laps to powder days. With artwork by French artist Niark1 bringing surrealistic creative vibes to your feet, the Recon proves that the perfect board is about finding that special connection between rider, art, and mountain expression. Directional Twin 2 x 4 Insert Pattern Flex Rating 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) Artwork by Niark1 The artwork of French artist and illustrator Sebastien Feraut, aka Niark1, exposes colorful, surrealistic worlds inhabited by monsters and modern artifacts. His use of illustration and multi-media collage with ripped paper edges and half-tone newsprint lends to a hands-on, homemade punk 'zine aesthetic that equally evokes both past and future, real and unreal. Art and creativity have always been a core element of snowboarding. There is a special feeling and empowerment you get when looking down and strapping into a board you feel represents and inspires you. The Recon graphics from Niark1 were chosen specifically by the Forum team as the inspiration they wanted to see between their feet.
