The Ethos brings things full circle for Liquid Force, blending new shapes and techniques with some of their tried and true methods from the past. We're talking about the core construction of this board, where the blending of years of tinkering merges. Using a mixture of PU and Paulownia wood, that is then reinforced with unidirectional carbon, gives you the ability to have not just a traditionally explosive 3-stage pop, but a much more predictable pop too that doesn't buckle you're knees on landing. This combines with the shaping of the board; beginning with a fully beveled edge, the Ethos compliments its natural feel with smooth-flowing edging, while side and tail channels allow you to lock in and get a consistent hold all the way to the top of the wake, as a single concave hull is there to build line tension and soften the landings. Finishing the Ethos is Liquid Force's, Liquid Rails, and dura base, protecting your edge from the big hits and keeping your base strong over time.
The Tao is all about providing you with creature comforts at an entry-level closed-toe price, making sure from your first ride to your last, you're going to be wrapped in a cushion for your feet. It features a 6X chassis, designed from the 4D pattern, taking all the cues and benefits and adapting it to a universal 6-inch system. Fitted with an EVA footbed, the Classic provides a soft base to save you from those harder landings without sacrificing comfort. Added into the boots baseplate is a Honeycomb Flex floor allows, not only for one of the lightest boot designs, by close to 10%, but also maximises performance, providing increased edge leverage. Combine these features with Liquid Forces Comfort Liner and cuff stretch zones, giving you the ultimate comfort underfoot while stretching and feeling through the ankle for smooth turns.
Wakeboard Features
Rocker Line
- 3-Stage Rocker - A late Aggressive 3-stage rocker with a maximised flat spot in the centre keeps the board fast while giving an early explosive kick off the wake.
Board Flex
- Energy Rating(1=Delayed/Stored Energy, 10=Instant Explosiveness) - 8/10
Core Construction
- P2 Fused Core - The best of both worlds, this divided core mixture allows the board to store energy and provide pop, but in a unique way thanks to the dampening qualities paulownia stringers paired with a CNC'd composite core, giving you predictable, yet explosive pop, and softer landings.
- C4 Carbon Structure - Dual Uni Directional Carbon gives you greater strength and energy storage tip to tail, meaning less breakage and more pop!
Rails/Edges
