This board is something else! I first rode it on the cable with no fins and it is just so light on your feet. When you lift it, it’s a fair bit lighter than a normal board despite the core being made of wood, but then when you go out on the water, it just seems like it isn’t even there – almost as if you are on the trampoline.
I really loved it on the cable with no fins because when you get on the sliders you can just press and it flexes so well. Also the slider base is nice and slippy on the obstacles, which gives you enough speed to stay on those long rails.
I also found that the slider base lasts really well, just like Kevin Henshaw says himself: “it is as durable as a snowboard”.
The last thing that makes this board really good in my eyes was that when you take it to the boat it is actually pretty impressive. I rode it behind the boat a good few times with the fins on, and honestly it is a perfectly functional board on the wake. It has slightly less pop than a normal board but it makes up for this by having extremely soft landings! They are unbelievable! I think it’s because the board flexes on hitting the water.
All in all I think that this board is an all-round good board for sliders and boat. It is light, durable and flexy! I think that in the coming years flex boards are really going to take off and everyone will be riding them as the landings are just incredibly soft.
If I were to describe this board in one word it would be “Fun”.

Liquid Force is well-known throughout the industry for providing some of the best wakeboards around. And this is not just for the men. Liquid Force has established a name for itself as one of the best providers of wakeboards for girls. “This season is set to be another hot one for the girls out there,” says Charlotte Bryant, Liquid Force team rider, “With a range of four boards to choose from, some funky new graphics, and the technical expertise to make the best out of the sport. There’s something for everyone.”
As an example, look at the Jett: Amber Wing’s signature board is designed for the rider looking to edge, pop, and fly more explosively then ever before. This is Liquid Force’s most aggressive women’s shape, and it features a three-stage hybrid rocker for smooth transitions when boosting off the wake. If you’re looking to fly, this is the Jett you’ve been waiting for.
The three stage, hybrid rocker provides a straighter curve through the centre with accelerated kick out at the tips, meaning a smoother transition into the tail section which will result in a higher trajectory off the wake.
A Double-Inside-Single-Concave (DISC) softens landings and maintains board speed, which, let’s face it, is what you need when you’re popping higher than before on this beauty of a board.
With the Double Concave V Tail, you’ll get more controlled water flow through the ends of the board for extra thrust and lift.
The Jett also features a Variable Edge Rail, as well as Moulded-in deep, canted, long-based side fins, which will give you unbelievable hold from the large inside face of the fins, while maintaining a low outside profile for no hang-ups.
And finally, the Winged Rail Shape means that you get Side bite slots for an extra kick in the flats and quicker release off the wake.
Liquid Force team rider Charlotte Bryant says: “The Jett has the perfect combination of qualities you look for in a board – it allows smooth transitioning, lets you pop even higher than before so you really fly through the air, and it has some great graphics to match. This is one I would definitely recommend getting your hands on this summer!”
As well as the Jett, the range includes the Luna, Angel and Melissa Hybrid. Charlotte says: “With this choice, let’s face it, you’ll definitely find the board you’re looking for, and some great graphics to go with it.”
“And don’t forget that Liquid Force also do a great range of clothing, meaning you’ll look good on and off the water,” says Charlotte, “All in all it looks set to be a great summer for Liquid Force, even if the British weather doesn’t match it. So make sure you get your hands on one of the new Liquid Force boards and get riding.”
