Why does everyone jank on Liquid Force so bad. I don't disagree. My Faction delamed after 6 months. But what's everyone else's excuse?

a board delamming after 6 months isnt that bad.

how hard were you shredding it?

thats one of their lower end skates as well, i dont think their made in the USA. I have heard very few complaints about the higher end 08 skates

Personally ive seen many LF boards deteriorate. They are not quality made. Like other large manufacturing board companys, like hyperlte the boards usualy are mass made so each board doesnt get the quality and time they deserve compared to a company that makes all their boards inhouse, one by one, hand made, like devotid or new. You arent going to find quality like that in a board made in asia. Most people who want to support the wakeskate industry want to support rider owned companys and companys who give there time and thier heart into making the boards that we all love so much, like Erich Smaltz with Integrity. So in turn the enjoy bashing on Hyperlite or LF.... I dont particularly like either company up untill recent years their boards were just not deisgned well. I still have yet to ride a hyperlite wakeskate that is somewhat decent. Liquid force has stepped it up and seems to be really putting alot of time, money and effort into the wakeskating scene since they had A.Reed and D.Hamp join the team. And of course S.Thurmans brilliant SST Design. Although my friends SST is already getting extremly waterlogged and has got to weight at least a pound or two more then when it was new. I think if their boards wernt so short lasting they wouldnt be bashed on as often. A Flat LF was my first wakeskate, i personally loved it, but after a month or so, it was completly coming apart, the top plys were detaching from the bottom piles so i always had a freakin bi-level. After seeing that i was like god i cant be buying new boards every month, so i got an Integrity and that thing is skill as strong as the day it arrived on my door step. I wouldnt go so far as to say Liquid "Facre" but you wont catch my purchasing any product of theirs. Thats just my 2 cents, hope that kind of answered your question.

if had an anthem going on two years. the paint is peeling but thats about it, granted i live in michigan so the seasons short, but it has treated me well, i also have a LF wakeboard. so i dont really have a problem with them. i think SOME people just hate on them cause its a big company, I said SOME, not all.

I love mine.
I loved it last year, it broke, that sucked.
This year Ive taken mine winching on concrete, slid rocks, slid wood, slid beach. Ive beat it super bad and only had it 2 weeks, its holding up super well.
Ride an 08, it'll change your mind.

All 08 wood decks are made in the US. The armada and sst top decks are made in U.A.E. Just pick up their flat deck (faction) and you will feel the difference. the decks are solid and are built to last. When a board is faulty it shows signs very quick. Ive been on an 08 since october and there is no sign of damage to the wood or signs or the glue breaking down. Even with wood exposed after sliding my decks remain solid

All boards (wooden in particular) are gonna fall apart quickly if ridden alot. LF's last few years models would fall apart quickly, even if barely riddden at all. They apparently got jacked by shizzy manufacturers. What could they do, though, recall them all? Hopefully they learned a great lesson in quality control. They are definintely charging enough per board to afford releasing a killer product. Based on what I SAW, not rode, at the shop the other day- the Hampson board looks bullet proof. I think that the SST still looked a bit cheap. But damn, did that Hampson board look good. It kindo of reminded me of the New boards. Extra ply's and heavy. I think I might buy one, at least demo it. Confused

New LF models are sick. WE shall see how they hold up

Dont knock it till you try it.

Lets wait before we discredit the new models

Some people had a reason to talk crap, most of the times it was about the decks falling apart.

And realize that some wakeskaters on this site just like to talk crap becaus then they will get a certain feeling of acception.
