If there is one wakeboard model that has withstood the test of time, it’s this one. The Liquid Force Trip has held the throne as one of the most popular wakeboards over the past twenty years, largely because of its versatility. The latest model has a fuller tip and tail to help riders handle bigger wakes. Beginners will love the stability and predictability from its continuous rocker and center fins. When it’s time to level up, the center fins can be removed for added agility.
