They're fully sick Have a 2005 drop and love it. Although wouldnt mind a go on the drop ltd. as they're meant to be lighter. The pads and straps rock as well,

you cant really ask that about a board, all of them from any shaper has its good and bad points...
however LF boards dont have many bad things, they are sik boards, they been around for a long time in both wake and kite industry.... they got great warranty services etc, and they are pretty cheap...

ive ridden most of their 05 range, i own 2 of them... a WLF 130 and an Element 128, and love them... friends have drop 130's and they are fantastic...

if your looking for a particular boards review do a search and if theres nothing, ask here quoting the board and size. im sure at least one member will have ridden it at some time and could give you the info you want...

LF elements cut sick at cable parks as well as kiting.. they have a bit more rocker than most other kiteboards, so they have a more wakeboard feel. they are heaps wide, so gets you planning quick as. the footstraps and pads are sooo comfy and dont seem to get slippery like others can.

Just my two cents.

Had an 05 136 Drop. Very smooth in the chop, very comfy. Only complaint was that it was a bit on the heavy side in lighter winds. Once the wind picked up into the higher teens, no problem. I think the ltd. would be a great board.

I've got a 05 134 Element and love it. Soft feel on the water, great foot beds for your tootsies and does everything else great too.

Definitely stoked with mine.

And the grpahics are nice and clean and simple too. None of this frustrated Punk Metal Rocker Devil Worshipping ****e.

What size element would you recommend for a 80kg intermediate rider

general all purpose board, so using from 12 knots with 14m GK and also for the higher winds

do you think the 128x41 would be big enough, or should i get the 134x42.

why do you say that assmaster,

that seems like a fairly large board.

Is it cause of the extra rocker in the element, therefore need a bigger size than you think ?

definatly get the 134...

the 128 takes a LOT of power to get going, and im 65kgs...
the 134 will give you that extra width to get up and go when its marginal...
also, when you get it, ride it with the nose down as low as you can.. goes much better that way

The drop looks a lot like the 04 Airush wake which i have, both designed by Jimmy Lewis, so not sure i want to go for that one,

Although i do love the JL boards

oh no, drop is not a wakeboard, it is designed with soft rails and concave so it is good in waves, but also gives that smooth feel on the flats.
sic sic sic boards.
liquid force call it their limosuine ride...

but if i was getting a board for flat water id go the 134 element, sic for goin fast, popping & jumping.

either way dont think u wood be dissapointed.

and as for weight issues, the 138 limited and the 134 element are pretty reasonable, not like the old LF boards.

The boys are right, go the 134, you'll always get going.

I'm 85kgs and have the 134. It's perrrfect. It's not a big board at all.
