Behind The Gear Guide: Liquid Force day 2 from Patrick Wieland on Vimeo.

Every year at Alliance we host a board test for our gear guide issue in an effort to bring you the most accurate on water results we can as it relates to these products. This years test was conducted by a group of 4 hand selected riders who have little to no current affiliation with any particular manufacturer, but at the same time ride at a high skill level both on rails and on the boat. Between the 4 “chosen ones,” they have a combined 56 years of on water experience. They are your friends, they are everyday people: The guys you stand next to in line at the cable park, the guys that get blisters on their hands from too many laps, and the guys who just like you have holes in their wetsuits, broken buckles on their vests, and are in dying need of a new board! Below are 5 of their favorite boards from the 2nd Annual Alliance Board Test, boards that scored high enough to earn the Alliance Approved Stamp. More boards to come next week!

Liquid Force “TEX”

Sizes: 134cm, 138 cm, 142 cm

- “Holy Smooth Ride!” – Ben Bazis

-”Now I understand why Tom Fooshee is so good. The board is very forgiving, responds well, and lands with ease.” – Kyle Alberts

- “Really like the flat tip and tail for pressing on rails. Overall the board feels like a liquid force witness on steroids.” – Kevin Whipplinger

- “Don’t mess with Tex!” – Alliance
