Yes. It's called the Liquid Force Comp Lace kit and has been available for 2 years... in stock right now at 2nd Wind and Gorge Performance.
Wait? Did I say that out loud??
Well, I guess if everyone else in the kite industry decided to copy the LF system, Slingshot shouldn't miss out...
In fact, we were just commenting today on how Slingshot did the best job of anyone so far at not only replicating the functionality of the comp lace strap but also the bold clean look of the white/grey LF pads.
Definitely says something about the innovations in kiteboarding and where they are coming from, when a top company like Slingshot looks to Liquid Force not only for functional design but for the look and color styling as well.
If you look under the feet of the top riders in the world, including 5x World Champ Aaron Hadlow.. you'll see they have been choosing LF pads for years. |
LW Dave says he has a patent on his lace ups. Doesn't that mean that LF should be paying him for the use of the laces?
This is actually a funny statement by someone who was a die hard SS rider until he started reping LF. |

haha, Dan!
I normally wouldn't reply, but Tekko is always bitching/hijacking threads about this type of thing and I can't handle that dude. Did LF just copy the CSS from Slingshot on their 2010 bar?  |

"WTF is all the pad and strap LF SS BS... IF you want to cry about it start your own dam topic and piss on that.... Hey at least we don't copy bars if you want to fling more shit....
All you choads' that have to say something to add a "buzz kill" are just makin this forum shit.... I remember the days nobody gave a rat ass and just spread the stoke and amp of the sport. If you did give a shit you just keep you mouth shut and went for a ride and showcase you shit on the water...
Thank you for pukin on my post."

Are you for real dude? Everyone copies everyone, that is why they call it R&D: Ripoff and Duplicate. Your vibe is no good man. |

Hey adam shit talking is SS best thing they do. And as far as the bar look at it it's nothing like SS and I am sure amery kept it locked down so no one would copy it ! sales of all LF boards and kites and wake stuff is obvious huge look at what stores they are in all over the USA not just kite shops.

Thank you for pukin on my post. 
Like Hein said, do some research and think for yourself.... |
Sorry to call you out Shy, but why do you only post shit about your gear? If you wanna talk shit about people calling you out and ruining your thread then maybe you should come on this forum and talk about something besides the gear you're pimping, at least when you're posting to the main forum section. Can't be too angry for people pissing on your parade when all you do is post threads that belong in the industry section.
