kite intro
It’s the feeling you get when sand starts blowing around your legs as you walk down the beach. The mental state you enter the second you hop in the car to head to the water. The touch of nervousness before you sheet in the bar and send yourself skyward - that feeling you’re not sure you ever want to get over. This is what our days exist for. We’re Liquid Force. We don’t do kiteboarding - we live it.
Keep riding.

Travelers. Surfers. People. The Liquid Force team is dedicated to the sport of kiteboarding. We ride whenever we can, on lakes, bays, or oceans. We could be testing a new kite, developing a better bar, or making our boards better. But at the end of the day, we’re just happy to be riding. Because no matter what, we’re kiteboarders. And we want you to come ride with us.

The exclusive Liquid Force Max Flow valve and pump system lets you inflate your kite up to 40% faster – and with far less effort. Because although kiteboarding tricks can be hard, pumping up your kite shouldn’t be.

Liquid Force TECHNO FORCE technology means our kites still feature Teijin Ripstop T9600. We strongly believe it’s essential to high quality kite design. Your kite will repeatedly perform like the day it was pulled out of the plastic.
The Exo Strut adds a new level of rigidity and strength, with reinforced construction where hard crashes hurt most. The Angled Jet Strut ends stop bridles from getting stuck on the strut.
Our “Ultra Stable Bridle”. One static wingtip pulley. Instant depower, easy relaunch and stability define the USB 3.0 system.
kite intro Kite tech
Our center leading edge segments are built with double the amount of Dacron – but only where it’s truly needed.
The one-piece molded CPR (Center Push Release) bar is simple, safe, easy to use, and offers a wide range of depower.
The entire panel layout of our kites is glued and stitched using an overlapped seam assembly. The perfectly balanced Dacron reinforcementto-weight ratio ensures the highest performance on the market, and the highest quality for your investment. Molded EVA leading edge bumpers are light, strong and will protect your kite during self-launch, hard crashes, snow re-launch, and everyday wear and tear.

STABLE FLIGHT
3-STRUT SUCCESS STORY
FAST TURNS
The Envy is a perfect choice for beginners and advanced kiters because of its uncanny ability to stay flying. It’s a forgiving kite that lets kiters make mistakes without consequences in the air or on the board.
The first proven 3-strut kite design on the market, ENVY is stable, has a high-wind range, and lightweight due to reduced material in the 3-strut design. The lightest kite we have, and one of the lightest kites on the market today.
While the incredible lightweight and Ultra Stable Bridle System keep the ENVY stable, the delta hybrid design means it can turn as quickly as any kite on the market. The ENVY is a pivoting kite that turns on it’s wingtips. freeride

CPR Bar The bar to use
We are pilots of the windblown skies. But it’s not a ride unless you can steer. The CPR bar is the simplest, safest kite control system on the market. The seamless one-piece design, Center Push Release safety system, and ergonomically designed grips mean you’ll never want to let go.
true depower
Attach the leash to the flag line for 100% depower by either the CPR release or simply dropping bar. Attach the leash to the main line for 90% depower that allows you to relaunch and ride immediately. The below-the-bar cleat, molded as part of the CPR chicken loop, lets you make adjustments effortlessly.

Let go. Now.
Left hand. Right hand. In front of the bar or behind it. The Liquid Force CPR (Center Push Release) is a patent-approved safety system. Reset it by simply snapping the chicken loop back on to the main line and pulling the red release down until it clicks.
smart unibody design
Better flotation for bar recovery, and reduced diameter for improved grip, With no metal or mechanical parts, there’s no chance for breakage, rust, or corrosion. The color coded EVA grip makes it easy to identify the left and right side of the bar. Tubing-wrapped leader lines prevent near-bar tangles. The LF bar is better than ever.

The BXP3 core in Liquid Force surfboards is not only environmentally friendly, it’ doesn’t soak up water in the case that your board does get dinged meaning your board always stays light.
The Liquid Force exclusive stringerless core allows us to achieve two important goals: keeping weight down, and tuning the flex of the board precisely for the riding you want to do.
Unlike normal surfboards, kitesurf boards are subject to the extreme forces generated by kiting. The Liquid Force High Density PVC deck offers the reinforcement your board needs.
Liquid Force kitesurf boards are built with a bamboo veneer. Lightweight and durable, it’s the perfect finish to perfect surfboards. And we happen to think it looks pretty nice, too.
The Liquid Force carbon compression vacuum-bagging process, using only the highest quality materials on every part of the board, ensures perfect lay-ups on every board.
The best in surf fin box technology comes to kiteboarding with FCS Fusion Fin Boxes, providing durability, reliability and strength. Customise your board with your own aftermarket choices.

Make small slop fun. For powered riding to lightwind breezes in real-world slop, the 4.10 Fatty is a compact shape that can carve turns or let you snap right through them. But it’ll hold it’s own as waves increase in size or when the wind picks up.
A shape that works. The full nose combined with a classic diamond-tail shape makes it a versatile ride, and the high volume in a compact size offers true light-wind performance. The short length keeps it turny, snappy, and quick to change direction.

Surf anything. The versatile shape and size of the 5’7” FCD makes it small, medium, or big surf, whether it’s barreling reef break or onshore slop. It’s a narrow board that picks up speed quickly so you can put yourself where you want to be on the wave.

Just ride. Our popular all-velcro strap-up option, in a an open-toed, free-ride ready boot. The Cradle is the boot for the kiter that just wants to ride. The comfort liner and dual-density tongue offers the ultimate in rider comfort. Step in, strap it up, and just go kiteboarding.

Luxury Like a glove The 3D thermoformed Liquid Force Comp Harness’ EVA Body Wrap Liner means it fits, well, like a glove. The spreader bar stabilizer prevents the bar from vertically twisting into your ribs via a custom attachment at the lowest point of the spreader bar.
Pure comfort With more padding, and a higher waist, the Luxury provides the ultimate in comfort while kiting. Let pain and discomfort be a thing of the past, and enjoy the longest, most comfortable sessions of your life. This is a lounge chair for kiteboarding.
Session Support Back pain after kiting? It’s a thing of the past with the Luxury. The molded interior lumbar support provides the ultimate in stability at no expense in comfort. Brace your back to withstand long, arduous sessions of hard kiting by using the Luxury.

Bliss Built for Girls Girls are built different than boys. That’s why the Bliss is bulit different. A smaller outline and more curve make the Bliss visibly different, while moving down the lower lumbar pad and utitlizing a smaller spreader bar means a better, more comfortable ride for any women that rip.

Profile Performance and Style The Bliss features all of the same high-end harness technology that our other harnesses do - like our 3D Thermoformed EVA, or our spreader bar stabilizer – in a compact, re-designed size. And the Bliss isn’t only shaped for girls – it looks good on them, too. Ride in complete Bliss.
Simple and Affordable Are you the guy at the beach wearing the ratty hand-medown harness that’s got more mold than a fraternity bathroom? Is there a chance your next big boost might leave you accidentally unhooked? Then we’ve made the Profile just for you – the harness for the budget-conscious kiter.
Slim but Supportive The Profile gives up the plush comfort of our Luxury harness in favor of a slimmer, more low-profile design. If bulk and extraneous padding aren’t part of your riding style, then go for the Profile - a harness that will augment your kite session without putting a dent in your bank account.

Cool but comfortable The Styler Boardshort Harness incorporates Liquid Force harness technology.
