The (pre-production) 2009 6’2 Liquid Force Quad has been holding up very well since i picked up this board from REAL in September ’08. I was incredibly nervous to ride an epoxy board. I was very happy about how well my Jimmy Lewis 6’3 Chamber held up all (07-08) season. The Quad took a little while to get dialed in as the board turns and rides a bit different than a thruster.
I’m not too stoked on the FCS fin as they have two short tabs that connect to the board, where the Future fins and one longer tab to connect to the board. This causes the FCS fins to snap off more easily than Future fins while kitesurfing. I have also had some heal denting up by where my front foot would be places on the board. This is to be expected in these boards. The only other beef I have with this board is the couple times the fins have tried to take me out. After riding the board for a few months I would feel more than comfortable to suggest this board to my friends.
This is the review of my gear from the 2008 season. These are just my two cents about the gear I have ridden and the experiences I had with it.
