Liquid Force Spectrum II Kites


Performance – Quick and nimble, yet steady and stable. These kites perform well enough for the best pros in the world, yet are stable and predictable enough for beginning kiters.

Safety – Leashless Spinning Powerlock™ safety system. Carbon Powerlock bar eliminates need for an additional fixed loop, which means that the kite can be depowered by pulling a single release handle whether the kite is completely depowered or locked in for full power. Sliding depower leash on rear line will not tangle even after multiple spins.

Strength – Taped and triple stitched seams. Double reinforced Dacron panels on leading edge. 2 ply trailing edge, Kevlar scuff pads and strut ends.

Convenience – Save yourself time and energy using the simple inflation system allowing you to pump the struts up to full pressure at the center of the kite with only one valve to seal before inflating the leading edge.

New For 2005
For 2005 Liquid Force have maintained the outstanding performance characteristics of the Spectrum 1 and built into it all the improvements and upgrades suggested by its team of international riders.

SPIDER INFLATION SYSTEM : Gone are all the ball valves and individual strut inflation. One pump does all five internal struts, then the second pump does the leading edge and wingtips. The system is fully independent and removable.

FULLY SPINNING BAR, safety leash and release system, with powerlock bar and ratchet depower strap.

5th line attachment point built into the leading edge.

Leading edge and wingtip struts joined into one.

New edgier graphics design.

New sail cut and increased panels for a tighter, more rock solid canopy.

Increased diameter wingtip struts for increased stiffness.

Beefed up seams and triple stitched construction.

New sizing range. Kites available as kite only or complete with bar & lines.

New improved bag design and shape.

LIQUID FORCE KITEBOARDS

Shape – The most important thing. Really, the only thing that matters in a board. Our boards are all shaped by the best shapers in the world. Our shapers utilize 20+ years of shaping experience combining years of shaping for many different board sports to bring you the best kiteboards in the world.

PBT Top and Bottom Sheets – Indestructible, lightweight and shiny. Snowboards and wakeboards have been using it for years… we’ve perfected it. Lightweight, flexible and strong. All Liquid Force boards have it on the deck and the base.

Stainless Steel Inserts - All boards have stainless steel footstrap and handle inserts. These inserts will hold up to the harshest environments and greatest amounts of force. You will not experience pulled out inserts or screws poking through the bottom of your Liquid Force board.

Resin Molded Fins – Computer foiled fins designed to have the greatest hold and least amount of drag and a perfectly molded fin every time. Resin molded for the highest strength available. Four fins with every board.

Sublimated Graphics – All Liquid Force boards have the graphics sublimated into the PBT top and bottom sheets. The best looking graphics in the world will not rub off or fade away in the sun.


ELEMENT

 128cm x 41cm (2.1kg) and 134cm x 42cm (2.3kg)



The Element boards utilize Liquid Force's exclusive Supercore.  The Divinycell foam that Liquid Force uses has the highest strength to weight ratio of any other foam, and won't take on water like some cheaper foams or balsa cores.   Our foam has been tested for years to ensure that it maintains its responsiveness and strength for the life of your board.  Unique single to double concave bottom with channels exiting out of the scalloped tail.  Moehau Goold's board of choice, these boards are great all-around boards performing well in waves, sliders, flat water, or chop.


MLF

120cm x 39.5cm  (2.2kg)
  

Take your riding to the next level with this little pocket rocket from Liquid Force.
The MLF 120 is in a class by itself as our mini board. Perfect for the advanced rider and even lighter weight riders who don't need as much board to get going, the MLF 120 is sure to please. Advanced riders looking to go smaller on their ride and still have a board that holds an edge better than any other mini board due to its double concave hull with channels hugging the rails will love the MLF. Channels in the tip and tail along with 1.4 inch fiberglass fins top off the hold this board gives the rider allowing for bigger kites and bigger air!!

Drop Series

130cm  x 39cm (2.3kg) and 136 x 39.5cm (2.5kg)

   

Surf designed shape, dominatrix single concave bottom and fully rounded edges.

A great smooth riding Rolls Royce ride in all conditions but get it in the waves and this is where it will really shine.

The Drops will allow you to throw buckets of spray and gouge deep into waves all day long due to its single concave hull and softened rails.

The single concave hull allows the board to track like its on rails when ridden down the line while the softened rails will allow cutbacks and bottom turns like you always dreamed about!

Jason Slezak's board of choice, these boards are great all-around boards performing well in waves, flat water, and chop.

For all those out there that said Liquid Force boards were heavy – eat your words!
The Drop Ltds are a limited edition lightweight and flexible version of the regular Drop design, manufactured with divinycell cores, ABS side walls and glossy PBT tops and bottoms.
They utilize the same rounded rails and dominatrix style single concave bottom as the regular Drops but in 132 and 138 sizes.

These boards are great all-around boards performing well in waves, flat water, and chop.


WLF Series

130cm x 46cm (2.2kg) and 140cm x 46cm (2.5kg)

     

The WLF (Wide Liquid Force) boards also utilize Liquid Force's exclusive Hybrid Sidewall construction.  These boards are great all-around performers, but excel in light winds and are perfect boards for the heaviest of riders or riders looking to rig a smaller kite and still have the ability to easily get up on plane.

Initially built as the super lightweight weapon these boards are turning heads.
Short and very wide these rocket upwind like no other and despite their size will hold a hard edge even after the wind picks up due to their off centerline mounted binding position.  You are guaranteed to have fun on this one!!


Truth Series

150 x 39.5 (2.9kg) and 160 x 42cm (3.0kg)

   

The flat bottom hull of the Truth series allows for minimal drag along the hull allowing for easier starts and continued speed during lulls so you spend more time on top of the water and less time in it. The side cut profile and 1.4 inch fiberglass fins of the Truth give the board unmatched handling characteristics in choppy conditions and waves as the board is quick to roll on edge, allowing for a smooth ride in otherwise bumpy conditions. The traditional shallow rocker and rail outline, combined with the full tip and tail design and the flat bottom hull, allows for easy starts with minimal drag and continued speed through those lulls.

You cannot get a better beginner to intermediate board and no-one can match the incredible value and price of this 2005 model.

Liquid Force Strap Suction Kit


A complete board interface system that will change the way we attach our boards to our feet forever. The comfort, flexibility and ease of entry of conventional footstraps, with the lock-down and board control associated with bindings.

LF Air Footpads – Ergonomically designed footpads are canted inward to properly align knees and hips while riding. Proper alignment allows for less muscle fatigue and safer landings. Airpack under heel dampens vibrations and cushions the ride, further saving your knees on landings. Soft molded EVA foam forms to your feet providing a snug, comfortable fit never before available in footpads.

LF Wide Footstraps –  Fixed Pro straps comfortable and functional. Softer materials cushion the foot for a more comfortable ride, and allow the foot to seat in for a greater hold.

LF Heelstraps – An optional addition that comes with every Strap Suction kit. The way that heelstraps always should have been. Injection molded with Craeton rubber, will not crack or fade or lose their stretch over time. Molded shape keeps them in place to easily slide them on your foot and to stay there for your entire ride. Super stretch allows them to easily come off when you want them to.

All Liquid Force boards from Boost come with these footstraps - we think they ROCK!

Adjustable straps can be ordered.
