Liquid Force Pros Describe Their Designs in ’07 Clinic Videos

Jason — Wed, 02 May 2007 03:25:36 +0000

Originally conceived to be a tool for Liquid Force dealers to use for educating their employees, the Clinic Videos quickly gained popularity last year when they found their way into the hands of all wakeboard enthusiasts. For 2007 Liquid is following up on the success of the Clinic Series with a more complete and in depth review of almost all of their products. Jimmy Redmond, the mastermind behind most of Liquid Force's designs, offers some interesting insight into the many new wakeboard and surfboard shapes, while Scott, lead wakeboard binding designer explains the boot lineup for 2007. Jimmy also manages to do a reasonable job of keeping the less than articulate professional wakeboarders that are on camera with him on topic and answering the questions. One things for sure, few wakeboarders would survive if performing in front of the camera were their day job.

Wakeboarding gets another shot at primetime on Fuel TV's Insane Cinema program throughout the month of April. Sure, it's not a major network, but anytime you can catch someone riding a wakeboard and it's not part of some cheesy commercial, that's a good thing for the sport.

So program your DVR if you haven't already seen this unique film from Sean Kilgus and if you have seen it, make sure you remind all of your buddies that haven't to check out Fuel TV this month.

Check out all of the details, along with a preview of the video after the jump.
