The Havoc for 2008 has been dramatically improved with a new wing tip shape, bomb proof construction and great attention to detail.

It has a greater range, better depower, turns and flies faster and boosts better. Available in sizes 8-10-12-14.

The Hi Fi is Liquid Force’s new 5th line competition style hybrid kite, built for insane kite loops and hardcore riding.

With the same diamond wingtip design the Hi Fi comes with 5th line safety system and extended depower.

The Session is an SLE hybrid kite that has a similar arc to the Havoc but a much flatter profile, diamond wingtip shape, and also the union one pump that all LF’s range has in 2008. The Session is a great all round kite from learners up to pros and is easy to fly, predictable and stable.

The Mig stays in the range for 2008 for the dedicated C-kite enthusiast
