The Liquid Force Ethos brings things full circle for Liquid Force, blending new shapes and techniques with some of their tried and true methods from the past. We're talking about the core construction of this board, where the blending of years of tinkering merges. Using a mixture of PU and Paulownia wood, that is then reinforced with unidirectional carbon, gives you the ability to have not just a traditionally explosive 3-stage pop, but a much more predictable pop too that doesn't buckle you're knees on landing. This combines with the shaping of the board; beginning with a fully beveled edge, the Ethos compliments its natural feel with smooth-flowing edging, while side and tail channels allow you to lock in and get a consistent hold all the way to the top of the wake, as a single concave hull is there to build line tension and soften the landings. Finishing the Ethos is Liquid Force's, Liquid Rails, and dura base, protecting your edge from the big hits and keeping your base strong over time.
The Liquid Force Tao is all about providing you with creature comforts at an entry-level closed-toe price, making sure from your first ride to your last, you're going to be wrapped in a cushion for your feet. It features a 6X chassis, designed from the 4D pattern, taking all the cues and benefits and adapting it to a universal 6-inch system. Fitted with an EVA footbed, the Classic provides a soft base to save you from those harder landings without sacrificing comfort. Added into the boots baseplate is a Honeycomb Flex floor allows, not only for one of the lightest boot designs, by close to 10%, but also maximises performance, providing increased edge leverage. Combine these features with Liquid Forces Comfort Liner and cuff stretch zones, giving you the ultimate comfort underfoot while stretching and feeling through the ankle for smooth turns.
Wakeboard Features
Rocker Line

Board Flex

Core Construction
- P2 Fused Core - The best of both worlds, this divided core mixture allows the board to store energy and provide pop, but in a unique way thanks to the dampening qualities paulownia stringers paired with a CNC'd composite core, giving you predictable, yet explosive pop, and softer landings.
- C4 Carbon Structure - Dual Uni Directional Carbon gives you greater strength and energy storage tip to tail, meaning less breakage and more pop!

Not as good as I expected
When it first came, the box fell apart as I was taking it out, and a lot of some kind of dirt or sand kept falling out all over my table and floor. I had the take the entire thing apart and thoroughly wash it.
After drying age reassembling it, I tried it on my portafilter that came with my Breville Barista Express, but, somehow, it doesn't always make the tamping level. You would think with the ridge that rests on the side of the portafilter that it would force it to remain level, but, somehow, it doesn't, at least not consistently. It also has varying lengths (heights, or depths), and a single spring tension, so you may still over tamping or under-tamp. I was expecting it would have a censor that would just detect once it reached 30 lbs of force and cut off after that, similar to a torque screwdriver, but that's not what this is.
I'll still give it 3 stars because, despite the problems mentioned above, it at least produces some amount of consistency, even if that isn't measurable; but, I can't give it 5 stars because of those issues mentioned above.

This is the one.
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
As an el Supremo Coffee Geek, I've wasted money on lots of different tampers. Save your money and buy this one or it's equivalent. This thing is heavy duty, solid, well-made, self-leveling, tamps at 30 pounds and is fool-proof even for fools. Also, it's a palm tamper meaning more fun and more satisfying to use as you prep the puck for your morning buzz. Buy it. You will thank me.

Super easy to use and takes the guess-work out of getting even pressure on the grounds
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black, Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
I have been using a hand tamper for many years and have a good idea of the pressure I am applying to the grounds in the portafilter. I honestly considered spring tampers to be a bit silly. But this tamper really does take the guess-work out of pressing the coffee grounds. The shroud helps guide the press so that pressure is applied even and flat across the surface. With the manual tamper, there will be some play when pressing, or some unevenness in pressure. This is especially true when cranking out many espressos during a breakfast party with friends. Having the spring tamper makes quick work of turning out a lot of coffees with consistency.
There are no instructions for taking this tamper apart to clean inside, and you may not really need to do that very often. After each use, just pull back the shroud (the black piece that moves up and down) and wipe off the tamper (the shiny steel part). This will help prevent grounds from working their way inside. If you do want to take it apart, it’s easy. Pull back the shroud and unscrew the tamper. It will come apart into three pieces. Wipe the pieces off and reassemble. Super quick and easy.
This tamper is very heavy. My scale shows 656 g (about a pound and a half). It fits the portafilter exactly, with no slop. Just place on top of grounds and press!. Don’t even worry about pressure, just push down all the way. Overall I had fun using this tamper versus my manual one. And since I make myself a cappuccino very early in the morning, I don’t have to be very awake to get a good pack on the grounds and get my coffee fast!

It is heavy
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
Item was as described and shipped promptly. It is heavy and works well with my portafilter. I haven't had it long enough to really evaluate how helpful it is.
