In preparation for the 2025 season, the crew at Liquid Force decided it was time to go all out and host a special LF Expo for a select group of dealers. Thanks to a bunch of hard work from our team and an overwhelming turnout from dealers across North America, the first ever LF Expo was all time! We met up at one of our favorite spots in the world, Terminus Wake Park, which is conveniently located across the street from a hotel that acted as home base. This gave everybody the ability to not only check out the gear, but to ride it as well. For those who wanted to test boat products, the gang from One Wake were on hand with brand new Malibu and Axis boats to give folks a pull.

For two days nearly 100 people got to hang out, check out everything 2025, and hear from the LF design team, marketing crew, sales team and more. Plus, team riders Nico Von Lerchenfeld, Felix Georgii, Meagan Ethell, Guenther Oka, Bailey Dunn and Rivers Hedrick were all on hand to not only talk about products they were involved in working on, but to offer tips when out riding with dealers and have fun with everybody. While every part of the event was fun, the highlight was undoubtedly the Relentless Team contest at the end of day two. Teams were decided the night before courtesy of some creatively marked Fireball shots (go figure), and each member of each team had to commit to trying a trick at Terminus they had never landed before. For newbies who'd never ridden cable before, that could be as simple as doing their very first full lap around or a grab off the kicker. For advanced riders, they had to come up with something and try to land it. Each team was captained by an LF rider, and needless to say, the vibes were hilarious, encouraging and a ton of LF'n fun. While Meagan Ethell's team took the win, the true winner was 6-year-old Hayes Andrews, son of Terminus' owner, Chase Andrews. Hayes is already a shredder, and had everybody on the dock stoked to ride.

The evening ended with some well-deserved LF Dealer Awards, along with one very special announcement. We can't share it with you just yet, but if you ask your local dealer, maybe they'll spill a few LF'n beans... (there's also a hint in the awards). Of course, LF Awards wouldn't be complete without LF'n trophies, and for our first ever Expo, what better way to give awards than with some authentic German beer steins...complete with beer?! Here are the recipients of the 2024-2025 LF Expo Awards:
• LF'N Legend Award: Bill Porter/Performance Ski and Surf
• E-tailer of the Year: Buywake/Midwest MasterCraft
• Feel the Pull Award: Terminus Wake Park
• BROS of the Year: One Wake/Singleton Marine
• RELENTLESS Dealer of the Year: Long Lake Marine
• DEALER of the Year: Active Water Sports

 We might be a little biased, but we are absolutely stoked on how the first ever LF Expo went. We have to give a very special shoutout to Chase and the whole crew from Terminus for playing host and making sure everybody was taken care of while we were there. We also have to thank Anthony Kennedy and the crew from One Wake, as well as our Southeast LF reps Matt Long and Joey Losson for the boat rides and grunt work that went into helping host the Expo. Everybody had a blast, from the newcomers to the tried and true like Bill Porter, who has been part of the LF family since Day 1. More than anything though, we are really stoked to share the 2025 line with the world very soon (some of you internet sleuths might have already done some digging...) In the meantime, we hope you all enjoy the rest of what's left of the 2024 season. Temps are still perfect across much of the U.S., which means now is a great time to get out and shred while the waterways are a little less crowded. If you do, remember to tag @liquidforcewake and #feelthepull so we can help spread the love of all things wake!
