Liquid Force Kiteboarding, Maven for Women
What is Maven, you ask? Maven is Liquid Force's women-specific product line in KITE. Originating from Liquid Force's successful wakeboarding line for women, Maven expanded to kiteboarding, using the same successful formula to shape products that fit women-specific needs. The women of Liquid Force manage it, design it, test it, and ride it. Maven's mission is to give the momentum of women's kiteboarding a surge forward. Maven consists of professional athletes, ambassadors for the sport, creators of female-specific gear, and members of the global community who love to ride! Liquid Force's Maven is behind all of our events with the new easy-to-ride-and-love Havoc kite, six new women's boards, and women's-fit binding and footstrap systems for 2008.
