Liquid Boardwear is a manufacturer of snowboards, boots, apparel, and other snowboarding equipment. It is one of the best-known brands, especially among young snowboarders, despite being relatively new to the market. Its products are known mostly for sleek, attractive designs, although in recent years the quality has stepped up and become at par with more established brands.

Their snowboards are no doubt Liquid’s most popular offering, known for their lightweight yet durable construction and high responsiveness. Liquid snowboards are particularly favored for freestyle snowboarding, lending themselves especially well for grinding and off-air jumps, although they work just as well for other styles. It’s this versatility that makes it a popular first snowboard for those who have a bit of experience and want to invest in their own gear.

Prices are competitive considering the quality you get for a Liquid snowboard. The construction is solid and has passed rigorous stress tests, and the shape allows for a combination of speed and smoothness. Users especially like doing off-air jumps, grinding, and power boarding, made possible by the board’s excellent balance and weight distribution. The intricate graphics on the exterior are also a welcome perk.

Liquid offers several snowboard models, each designed for a specific snowboarding style. The Liquid Storm is perhaps the most popular and comes highly recommended for freestyle riding. The Venture also works well for this style, although users find it less functional. A more versatile model is Horizon, which is designed to suit all skill levels. Nitrogen is known for its durability and smooth flow, while the Cyclone is a rugged model designed for all-terrain use.

A few users have complained that the bolts tend to fall loose easily, which can pose serious risks on the slopes. Some have also complained that the wood chassis makes grinding tricky, and that their lightness necessarily compromises strength and responsiveness on rugged terrains. However, others argue that lightness has always been a plus for snowboards, and that it allows for better control whether you’re on smooth or rocky ground.

Liquid snowboards and other accessories can be bought from major sports retailers; a list of distributors is available on the company’s website. Most buyers prefer to buy online, however, as the selections are likely to be larger and there are more price options. Some of the most popular online retailers are Amazon, Edge Riders, Snow Sports For Less, Board Kingdom, and Edge Boards.
