The new liquid force echo seems to be well built much thicker and stronger than the previous dlx model but for a wakestyle board not a huge amount of rocker, much less than the tranq or tona. Trying the board out on land, the boards tips are really flexy, which I thought might be a problem but Once out on the water I felt instantly at home on the board, it planes early and flys up wind and pops really well. It also works really well in light wind, I'm 90kg and could get going in a bit over 12 knots on a 15mt.
Now for the bad, I found i got a bit of spray in the eyes off the tips and it can feel quite harsh in rough chop, I really think it needs more rocker in the centre of the board, the top of the board is also not flat which leaves contours where you mount the boots, so you have small holes which let in sand and rocks between the boots and board. It's meant to be a wakestyle board so where the f#%k is the grind base. I'd be happy to sacrifice weight for a sintered grind base. All in all it's a good board that works really well most of the time.
