Liquid Force 2025 Ethos Wakeboard | Vertex 6x Boots
ETHOS
We took the last year and a half with Guenther as an opportunity to pull his board back into the development tank and give it a complete and deserving overhaul. This allowed him a unique opportunity to ride everything…literally everything in the LF line…for an entire season. With this renewed perspective of what he enjoyed from all the other models, he sat down with our R&D Team as a part of the “Athlete Driven Innovation” process and helped bring life to the 2025 Ethos!
Drawing upon everything Guenther loved about his previous model, the Rhyme, the Ethos has all the special sauce with an extra kick that’ll leave you frothing for more. Come see why Guenther has never been more amped on Wakeboarding than he is right now and take a set on the Ethos.
“The journey has been unreal, the time off I had from my injury did give us an opportunity to sit back and reflect on what we really wanted to do with the new shape. It really was like ‘Love at First Ride’ almost. Once we got the version that ended up working, that’s when I knew…THIS is the feeling that I wanted everyone to have the first time they jumped on the Ethos. You don’t have to have a Pro Tour Win under your belt, anyone can ride it…and that’s the beauty of it.” – Guenther Oka

VERTEX
Brand new to the scene for 2025, we’re proud to introduce a brand new model to the Liquid Force binding line, the Vertex 6X™.
What is the driving force behind Relentless Innovation, you ask? To never become complacent and always search for ways to reinvent products to perform at their highest level. Liquid Force has amazing cable specific and boat specific bindings, but after listening to our team and riders that put our products through rigorous testing…it was time to introduce new life into our offering.
The Vertex 6X™ is a highly supportive and performance driven binding constructed in a way to compliment riders pushing their progression behind the boat. While incorporating some of the amazing bells and whistles found in our most premium bindings, the Vertex 6X™ is lightweight and has a soft to medium flex…meaning you’ll have all the support when you need it and enough flex to elevate your style effortlessly.
This brand new 2025 Binding is part of our “Dealer Exclusive” series and is only available at authorized Liquid Force retailers that stock our line. Support your local LF Dealer!
BENEFITS
ETHOS
- P2 Core Construction – A perfectly harmonious blend of all the benefits that wood and foam have to offer. Dual Wooden Stringers add life and responsiveness while the PU Foam sections provide weight reduction and stability. The Ethos naturally sits lower in the water than traditional PU or AERO Core boards, allowing the fins, channels, and open side-wall to engage further into the water for provide an incredibly stable ride.
- Open Side Walls – Truly allowing the Ethos to stand-out within the Boat Board Line-up. Profiled effective edge of the board allows the Ethos to track cleaner and have more movements through the water while on edge. Giving you crisp clean cuts into and away from the wake.
- “It’s like Riding on a Cloud” – During testing, this response came up on several different occasions. Not only from Guenther, but everyone that rode it. The Weight Reduction is real and you’ll feel it the moment you get your hands on an Ethos.
