Forum Recon

The Recon is designed as an all-mountain board, meaning it balances the stability needed for freeriding with the playfulness required for freestyle. Its directional twin shape and medium flex allow it to perform reliably in deep powder, groomed runs, and variable resort conditions.

A medium flex is the 'sweet spot' for most riders. It is forgiving enough for intermediates to progress without feeling overly stiff, yet responsive enough for advanced riders who want a board that can handle high-speed carving and technical maneuvers.

The Booter Boosters carbon-aramid struts are embedded to increase the board's snap and pop. They provide extra energy return when you load up for an ollie or exit a turn, making the board feel more lively and responsive underfoot.

Yes, the Forumula8 sintered base is high-performance and porous, which means it absorbs wax much better than an extruded base. To keep it fast and prevent it from drying out, you should plan on waxing it regularly throughout the season.

The hybrid biaxial/triaxial fiberglass layup is a strategic choice that balances two competing needs: torsional stability and flex. It provides enough stiffness to hold an edge during aggressive carves while remaining flexible enough to press rails or butter on smaller features.
