<p>Every year at <em>Alliance</em> we host a board test for the gear guide issue in an effort to bring you the most accurate on water results we can as it relates to these products. This years test was conducted by a group of 4 hand selected riders who have little to no current affiliation with any particular manufacturer, but at the same time ride at a high skill level both on rails and on the boat. Between the 4 &#8220;chosen ones,&#8221; they have a combined 56 years of on water experience. They are your friends, they are everyday people: The guys you stand next to in line at the cable park, the guys that get blisters on their hands from too many laps, and the guys who just like you have holes in their wetsuits, broken buckles on their vests, and are in dying need of a new board! Below are 5 of their favorite boards from the <em>2nd Annual Alliance Board Test</em>, boards that scored high enough to earn the <em>Alliance Approved</em> Stamp.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.alliancewake.com/wake/alliance-approved-part-ii/attachment/2012_shaneteam_138_tapp/" rel="attachment wp-att-46269"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46269" title="2012_ShaneTeam_138_Tapp" src="http://www.alliancewake.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012_ShaneTeam_138_Tapp.jpg" alt="" width="409" height="583" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Liquid Force Shane Hybrid</strong> - Sizes 134cm, 138cm, 142 cm</p>
<p>&#8220;Perfect blend of a hybrid board for boat and cable. Stiff in the middle for consistent pop, flexy enough to soften the landings and press out on rails.&#8221;- Kevin Whipplinger</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8221;Fun at the cable, but I was hoping for a bit more flex.&#8221; &#8211; Ben Bazis</p>
<p>&#8220;Rides fast like a continuous rocker, but gets the pop of a 3 stage.&#8221; &#8211; Travis Propst</p>
<p>&#8220;Danger danger danger&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; <em>Alliance </em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.liquidforce.com/wakeboards-shane.html">www.liquidforce.com</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.alliancewake.com/wake/alliance-approved-part-ii/attachment/2012_sl_response_tapp/" rel="attachment wp-att-46270"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46270" title="2012_SL_Response_Tapp" src="http://www.alliancewake.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012_SL_Response_Tapp.jpg" alt="" width="409" height="583" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Slingshot Response</strong> &#8211; Sizes 137 cm, 142 cm, 145 cm</p>
<p>&#8220;Awesome all around board. Soft landings for days.&#8221; &#8211; Travis Propst</p>
<p>&#8220;Fun to press out and has buttery soft landings.&#8221; &#8211; Kevin Whipplinger</p>
<p>&#8220;My favorite board in the Slingshot lineup from the test.&#8221; &#8211; Kyle Alberts</p>
<p>&#8220;If you ride it naked, send us the photo&#8217;s&#8230;unless your a dude.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Alliance</em></p>
<p><a href="http://ride.slingshotsports.com/2012-Response?sc=46&amp;category=36717">www.slingshotwake.com</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.alliancewake.com/wake/alliance-approved-part-ii/attachment/2012_lf_harley_139_tapp/" rel="attachment wp-att-46268"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46268" title="2012_LF_HARLEY_139_Tapp" src="http://www.alliancewake.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012_LF_HARLEY_139_Tapp.jpg" alt="" width="409" height="583" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Liquid Force Harley</strong> &#8211; Sizes 131 cm, 135 cm, 139 cm</p>
<p>&#8220;Rides like a smaller board, so you might want to go a size up. Fast and responsive, though&#8230;Plus it does every trick in the book and counting.&#8221;</p>
<p>- Kyle Alberts</p>
<p>&#8220;For some reason I couldn&#8217;t do a 1080&#8242;s on it.&#8221; &#8211; Ben Bazis</p>
<p>&#8220;Really fast board, the speed actually helps soften the landings.&#8221; &#8211; Kevin Whipplinger</p>
<p>&#8220;All around great board with lots of pop.&#8221; &#8211; Travis Propst</p>
<p>&#8220;If Bieber bought a board, there&#8217;s no doubt it&#8217;d be this&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; <em>Alliance</em></p>

<p><strong>Hyperlite Marek Bio</strong> &#8211; Sizes 135 cm, 140 cm, 145 cm</p>
<p>&#8220;Felt like a rocket edging into the wake. Tracks really well and I was impressed with the landings.&#8221; &#8211; Kevin Whipplinger</p>
<p>&#8220;Aggro!&#8221; &#8211; Kyle Alberts</p>
<p>&#8220;Lots of pop and speed.&#8221; &#8211; Travis Propst</p>
<p>&#8220;Like it or else&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; Rusty Malinoski.</p>
<p>&#8220;Actually, we just made up that Rusty quote.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Alliance</em></p>

<p>Every year at <em>Alliance</em> we host a board test for the gear guide issue in an effort to bring you the most accurate on water results we can as it relates to these products. This years test was conducted by a group of 4 hand selected riders who have little to no current affiliation with any particular manufacturer, but at the same time ride at a high skill level both on rails and on the boat. Between the 4 &#8220;chosen ones,&#8221; they have a combined 56 years of on water experience. They are your friends, they are everyday people: The guys you stand next to in line at the cable park, the guys that get blisters on their hands from too many laps, and the guys who just like you have holes in their wetsuits, broken buckles on their vests, and are in dying need of a new board! Below are 5 of their favorite boards from the <em>2nd Annual Alliance Board Test</em>, boards that scored high enough to earn the <em>Alliance Approved</em> Stamp.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.alliancewake.com/wake/alliance-approved-part-ii/attachment/2012_shaneteam_138_tapp/" rel="attachment wp-att-46269"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46269" title="2012_ShaneTeam_138_Tapp" src="http://www.alliancewake.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012_ShaneTeam_138_Tapp.jpg" alt="" width="409" height="583" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Liquid Force Shane Hybrid</strong> - Sizes 134cm, 138cm, 142 cm</p>
<p>&#8220;Perfect blend of a hybrid board for boat and cable. Stiff in the middle for consistent pop, flexy enough to soften the landings and press out on rails.&#8221;- Kevin Whipplinger</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8221;Fun at the cable, but I was hoping for a bit more flex.&#8221; &#8211; Ben Bazis</p>
<p>&#8220;Rides fast like a continuous rocker, but gets the pop of a 3 stage.&#8221; &#8211; Travis Propst</p>
<p>&#8220;Danger danger danger&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; <em>Alliance </em></p>

<p><strong>Slingshot Response</strong> &#8211; Sizes 137 cm, 142 cm, 145 cm</p>
<p>&#8220;Awesome all around board. Soft landings for days.&#8221; &#8211; Travis Propst</p>
<p>&#8220;Fun to press out and has buttery soft landings.&#8221; &#8211; Kevin Whipplinger</p>
<p>&#8220;My favorite board in the Slingshot lineup from the test.&#8221; &#8211; Kyle Alberts</p>
<p>&#8220;If you ride it naked, send us the photo&#8217;s&#8230;unless your a dude.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Alliance</em></p>

<p><strong>Liquid Force Harley</strong> &#8211; Sizes 131 cm, 135 cm, 139 cm</p>
<p>&#8220;Rides like a smaller board, so you might want to go a size up. Fast and responsive, though&#8230;Plus it does every trick in the book and counting.&#8221;</p>
<p>- Kyle Alberts</p>
<p>&#8220;For some reason I couldn&#8217;t do a 1080&#8242;s on it.&#8221; &#8211; Ben Bazis</p>
<p>&#8220;Really fast board, the speed actually helps soften the landings.&#8221; &#8211; Kevin Whipplinger</p>
<p>&#8220;All around great board with lots of pop.&#8221; &#8211; Travis Propst</p>
<p>&#8220;If Bieber bought a board, there&#8217;s no doubt it&#8217;d be this&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; <em>Alliance</em></p>

<p><strong>Hyperlite Marek Bio</strong> &#8211; Sizes 135 cm, 140 cm, 145 cm</p>
<p>&#8220;Felt like a rocket edging into the wake. Tracks really well and I was impressed with the landings.&#8221; &#8211; Kevin Whipplinger</p>
<p>&#8220;Aggro!&#8221; &#8211; Kyle Alberts</p>
<p>&#8220;Lots of pop and speed.&#8221; &#8211; Travis Propst</p>
<p>&#8220;Like it or else&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; Rusty Malinoski.</p>
<p>&#8220;Actually, we just made up that Rusty quote.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Alliance</em></p>

<p>Liquid Force, the premier manufacturer of wakeboarding and kiteboarding hard goods and apparel, has entered into a long term marketing agreement with Axis Wake Research.  Axis will be the Official Towboat of Liquid Force’s world famous BROstock event, as well as a strategic partner in Liquid Force’s Free For All series and all new BBQ BROdown series.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you’ve been around these two brands for even a short time, you’ve seen the synergy between our company cultures and the way we look at wakeboarding,&#8221; said Nick Skally, Axis Director of Marketing. &#8220;We&#8217;re excited to partner with an industry leader that understands how to have fun on the water. We’re also psyched to launch the product line into this type of arena where our boats can perform for high-end competitions like the double-up contest at BROstock.&#8221;</p>
<p>Axis and Liquid Force will begin to activate on this partnership immediately, starting with the LA Boat Show, February 10-12, followed by the February Freezeride at the Carlsbad Lagoon, February 18th.</p>
<p>Tony Finn, Founder of Liquid Force said, “I’m so excited to partner with an exciting brand like Axis Boats.  The wake on their boats is sick!  We couldn’t be happier to team up with such a great company.  Not only do they make great products, but they’re also a great group of people.  Their affordable, yet performance based boats are exactly what our industry needs!  Stay tuned for many exciting things to come!”</p>
