Liquid Force Trip vs Classic Wakeboard Review

In matter of classic boards, Liquid Force has a great background since its foundation. Two models changed the wakeboarding history, boosting careers of outstanding athletes like Shawn Watson: Trip & Classic. Smoothness, control and precision during transitions are major features of these wakeboards, but, can we talk about “a right choice” between Trip and Classic? Let’s take a look.

Key Features

Build quality.

Twenty years of hard work give us a model with Precision PU (Polyurethane) Core to guarantee endurance and quality. The D-I-S-C Hull also allows good control and appropriate water flow passing the tail.

An excellent transition from beginner to intermediate skill is a feature given by the Aggressive continuous rocker, facilitating smooth movements. The warped molded-in lateral fins work together with the removable center fin for improving the wakeboarder’s progress. The shapes and colors in high contrast give fresh air to a classic and outstanding product.

A classic model has to adapt to all times. The compatibility with all 6″ bindings guarantees control and stability for the practitioner that wants to enjoy two of these classic Liquid Force qualities.

• Availability on Diamond Bat-Tail shape
• Aggressive continuous rocker
• Precision PU (Polyurethane) & Wood Core
• Dura-Glass Layup
• Designed for every 6” bindings

• Warped molded-in lateral fins and a movable center fin
• Three position M6 inserts

This previous model also offers us an excellent performance during wakes and maneuvers. The Fiberglass and PU Core give more endurance to the wakeboard with maneuvering and landing of riders. The D-I-S-C hull, through the center of the table, allows water-flow smoothness. A commemorative design reminds us of the unique background of Liquid Force in wakeboarding history.

Liquid Force Classic Wakeboard 2021

Liquid force classic wakeboard 2021 progressive three stage rocker  stiff flex rounded diamondtail check price in usd.

With this model, Liquid Force attempted a remarkable redefinition of “classic.” Apparently, “Trip” had the highest honor, but since 2006 the LF “Classic” had gained popularity in wakeboarding. This product is the “PRO” model of Shawn Watson. With an almost perfect fluency in wakes and maneuvers and a design that allows some explosive movements, “Classic” is an outstanding choice for those who want to go to the next level in wakeboarding.

• Wakeboard Size (cm) 130 | Rocker Size (in) 2.2 | Waist Width (in) 16.4 | Stance Range (in) 20-24 | Rider Weight (lbs) 70-140
• Wakeboard Size (cm) 134 | Rocker Size (in) 2.3 | Waist Width (in) 16.9 | Stance Range (in) 21-25 | Rider Weight (lbs) 90-170
• Wakeboard Size (cm) 138 | Rocker Size (in) 2.4 | Waist Width (in) 17.3 | Stance Range (in) 22-26 | Rider Weight (lbs) 130-200
• Wakeboard Size (cm) 142 | Rocker Size (in) 2.5 | Waist Width (in) 17.5 | Stance Range (in) 23-27 | Rider Weight (lbs) 160-230+

Not only the PU Core gives flexible strength and durability to the “Classic” model, the double concave spiral V hull w/ edge channels complete this wakeboard structure, moving the water correctly on the board surface for optimal control and some advanced movements.

The progressive three-stage rocker, lifted-variable edge, and quad vented channels are keys for good transition between movements and wakes. The colors and accurate shapes of design give identity to an excellent wakeboard.

The compatibility with all 6’’ bindings increases with the maneuverability of the board.

• Double-concave spiral V hull w/ edge channels
• Crisp molded-in lateral fins w/ removable center fin
• Compatible with all 6” bindings

Liquid Force Classic Wakeboard 2020

Liquid force classic wakeboard 2020 progressive three stage rocker 7 (1 soft - 10 stiff) spiral "v" with double concave mid-section check price in usd.

This previous board has some differences with the 2020 model. Regarding rider weight, we have some extra strength in its structure. Also, the spiral “V” with a double concave mid-section increases the speed during landings.

• Wakeboard Size (cm) 138 | Rocker Size (in) 2.4 | Waist Width (in) 17.3 | Stance Range (in) 22-26 | Rider Weight (lbs) 130-210
• Wakeboard Size (cm) 142 | Rocker Size (in) 2.5 | Waist Width (in) 17.5 | Stance Range (in) 23-27 | Rider Weight (lbs) 160-240+

Final thoughts / Conclusion

Choosing between “Trip” & “Classic” is very difficult. The maneuverability, smoothness, endurance, and quality of “Trip” have been together with the practitioners of wakeboarding since the foundation of Liquid Force. However, with a precise built and design, “Classic” (the PRO model of Shawn Watson) gives great control during explosive movements and helps the practitioners move on to an advanced skill level.

We think that all the enthusiasts of wakeboarding have to know what fits better to their skills, and “Trip” and “Classic” are both amazing options.

The History of the Art for The Liquid Force TRIP Wakeboard

05 sep the history of the art for the liquid force trip wakeboard.

Drew and the 2011 Trip Series Original Painting

Here’s the great thing about having long-term relationships with clients:  You develop a history over time, and before you know it, you’ve created many cool projects over the course of almost 2 decades.

That’s how it’s gone with Drew and Jimmy Redmon at  Liquid Force Wakeboards .

Drew said he loves working with Liquid Force because “they aren’t scared to do something wild or different.”

And as Jimmy Redmon told me, he started working with Drew because “Drew was creating stuff that no one else was.  His style was unique.”

They’ve always allowed Drew to go crazy with the artwork, and as all artists know, when you have the freedom to paint what lights your fire, you can create awesome, radical art.

Drew’s first design for Liquid Force was in 1997 for their revolutionary Trip series (Liquid Force was the first makers of the multi-fin board – they changed everything in wake boarding!)  That was almost 15 years ago!

The first Trip in 1999

HISTORY OF DREW’S ARTWORK FOR THE TRIP:

• 1997  Liquid Force commissioned Drew to create art for the first Trip.  It was painted on masonite in the living room of Drew’s San Clemente apartment.  The artwork is trippy with mushrooms, heaving waves and a huge, grinning sunshine.  The style is Drew’s classic signature of high energy and bright colors.
• 1997 The first Trip wakeboard was released at the X-Games in San Diego in June.
• 1998 Drew did the art for the Trip Series, which had grown to four boards.
• Then Drew did the artwork for two seasons of the Mini-Squirt, which was The Trip for kids.
• 1999 Drew’s dolphin painting became the artwork on the hull of the women’s Diva model.
• 2007  Liquid Force re-introduced the Trip – Drew’s original art from 10 years earlier was screened back to create a monochromatic tribute to the first trip.
• 2009 The Trip series grew to five boards and Drew did a crazy, original painting that spanned across all boards.  (You can watch a video where Drew shows the process of creating the wakeboard art here .)
• 2010 Drew created a new “ water style” painting which covers the entire family of Trips for 2011 line.

2009 The Trip Art by Drew

2008 Trip Original Painting by Drew

For the new 2011 line, Drew and Jimmy decided to utilize Drew’s new “water painting” abstract style instead of the classic Drew style.

It’s a huge departure from what Drew’s known for.  He had a lot of fun making the canvas and then using many different mediums to come up with a unique view of water, coming to life.

Jimmy Redmon wrote about working with Drew on these projects:

“Back when the first Trip was designed, I knew this was a shape that was going to change people’s perspective of what a wakeboard should be.  I had met Drew while getting a board at …Lost, and was blown away by the art he was putting on boards.  It was original, fun, and full of life and color.  Drew’s first trip painting covered the entire hull of the board, and was unlike anything our industry had ever seen.  It was a great success, waking everyone to take notice.  As the series grew, Drew’s art covered the family of boards.  When we reintroduced the shapes years later, Drew was the natural choice to celebrate the boards.  And again this year, Drew has created another masterpiece to bring the Trips alive.  Thanks! “

No, Jimmy, thank YOU!  It’s been great, and I hope we’ll continue to team up to push the limits on wake boards!

Liquid Force Trip 38 2003

• By Wakeboarding Magazine
• Updated: January 1, 2003

The most successful board series in wakeboarding…ever! The Trip was Gregg and Jimmy’s brain child and has changed the way that people think about board design forever. This series, unlike any design before or after, has generated more ideas used in boards of ours, and boards of our competitors. The multi-fin idea may never have been a part of modern day wakeboard design if it weren’t for the Trips. That’s pure relentless innovation. It’s not very often that a board design changes an entire industry. The Trip series has stood the test of time and continues to be a solid performer on the water, in the air and in wakeboard chat rooms.
