The Forum brings a traditional 3-stage feel to the O'Brien range with a host of features that make it one punchy ride. This shred stick is built around providing maximum line tension throughout the entire process, which is benefited by its design to ride lower in the water. This is thanks to its 3-stage rocker, which helps the centre of the board bury into the water but works twofold in allowing tension to build up and, with the combination of the centre concaves and channels, build pressure right to the top of the wake for maximum lift. It isn't all just about pressure, though, as the Forum also helps to make smooth transitions edge to edge with its variable rail design, giving a rounder centre bevel to roll and a sharper tip and tail for your cuts into the wake, as well as softer landings thanks to its triple concave hull molding, because what the point in going big if the landings are going to be rough.
The Clutch boot is the entry point wakeboard boot to suit everyone, trimming the excess and giving you only what you need. Featuring a free flex tongue and rubber heel, the Clutch boot is easy on entry and folds neatly around your lower leg. With an EVA footbed and canted footbed, it remains comfortable underfoot and increases support for your ankle and lower leg, while easy-glide laces make tying up a cinch.
