New to the LF hydrofoil line up is the Thruster Foil. This complete foil kit utilizes the same proven alloy mast configuration that runs though LF’s complete hydrofoil line. New in the configuration is the use of the HD alloy fuselage that creates a highly hydrodynamic connection with the wings. The Thruster wing set has been developed in collaboration with Matt Wheeler, master hydrofoil expert and engineer in Hood River, Oregon USA. This collaboration has brought to life a unique wing design that provides extended range and stability offering rapid lift and stability at speed. If you are in search of the pinnacle of freeriding performance look no further.
Why a RAM AIR FOIL KITE? This is the first question that any kiteboarder that has not experienced the pure benefits of a perfectly tuned and pressurized foil kite would ask. Unmatched upwind performance, light wind stability and downwind control highlights the benefits of a ram air foil and the Liquid Force Elite. The Liquid Force design team set out to make a kite that not only perfectly compliments aspects of kiting with a hydrofoil to reaching untracked snow fields, but also gives the rider an easy to use and seamless transition from a traditional inflatable LE kite to the technical advantages of the Liquid Force Elite.
With the assistance of renowned foil kite designer Benoit Tremblay, the LF Elite has been designed for fast and easy pressurization through the unique Double Barrel air intake ports and a baffle system that increases air cell communication. This is considered a closed cell ram air system that is stable and offers increased time for a water relaunch. Designed to fly on any equal 4 line kite bar, the Elite is versatile for any conditions across water and snow.
High strength extruded aluminum design optimizing torsional and longitudinal rigidity with an added CNC strength insert in the mast to collar connection to meet the demands of hydrofoil surfing.
Hydrodynamic shape fuselage designed for superior water flow, low resistance and minimal cavitation. Adaptable for most Liquid Force Hydrofoil wings when outfitted with the proper shim kit. (Check with your local LF retailer for compatible wings)
Created in collaboration with Cloud IX Surf Foils the Impulse wing set confidently crosses kite, surf and wake hydrofoiling. Designed to provide rapid lift and long glide, along with a wide speed and wind range.
Designed in collaboration with Matt Wheeler, master hydro-foiler and engineer. Matt has been “boutique” engineering wings for some of the most progressive freeride hydrofoilers in The Gorge.
Matt and LF joined forces to bring a wing set that has a wide speed range, fast lift engagement and ultra-high stability at all angles. In short, the peak of freeriding hydrofoil performance.
LF’s low aspect wing set offer the perfect surface area to lift profile for first time hydrofoil flights, to technical freeriding tricks. The glass molded construction offers high durability, yet easy to repair in the unfortunate instance of contact with the ground or a parking lot fumble.

The Rocket Foil shares the mast and fuselage dimensions of the Happy Foil in cord length, mast profile, and 78 cm fuselage with multiple wing position placement. The easy to ride low aspect wings set this foil apart from the progression pack. The durable glass construction wing set allows for easy entry up onto a foil and lower glide speeds, making this set perfect for the first timer to the advanced foil trick master.

We think that adding a free riding hydrofoil board to your quiver should serve a couple purposes. The Rocket foil board is wonderful for first time glides on a foil all the way to advanced foil carving. The Rocket Foil board has higher surface area and a slight increased rocker line that assist in water “touch down” deflection, keeping the board from submerging and giving the rider plenty of time to master the art of riding a foil. While this board does have an adjustable track mounting system for the foil it also serves as a great board to ride without the foil. If you find yourself in an area to shallow, to much sea or lake weeds, don’t worry!
Dedicated hydrofoil performance, combined with revolutionary construction, highlight the Liquid Force Galaxy. Some may argue that the board is not as important as the foil. However, we believe that the interaction between; board, foil and rider are critical to the performance and experience of riding a hydrofoil. No detail was overlooked or compromised in the design and engineering of the Galaxy Hydrofoil Board. The Galaxy’s precision engineered details offer the highest performance characteristics for your hydrofoil. A forgiving outline, combined with a unique forward placed double concave hull design, allows for easy on water tracking when starting as well as during planned, or even unexpected touch downs. The beveled rail design aids in heeled over, chop deflection, keeping the board in line with the foil trajectory.
