Liquid Force Remedy — two summers on the best-value park board
The most recommended first cable board in Europe. Whether the reputation survives sixty sessions of real use — and the small delamination at session forty-eight.

Walk into any cable-park pro shop in Europe and ask for a first serious board. Nine times out of ten the answer comes back Liquid Force Remedy. We bought a 2024 model new, rode it through two full summers across Hipnotic Kite Park and OWC Orlando, and logged every session. Here's whether the reputation holds up.
01The verdict, first
The Remedy is the best first cable board on sale. Not the fastest, not the poppiest, not the flashiest — but the one most likely to leave a first-year rider stoked and progressing. At €449 it undercuts the Ronix One by €150 without feeling cheap, and the finless grind-base build is genuinely better at rails than the One's channels.

The best first cable board, full stop. If you're starting at a park, this is the one. If you mostly ride cable and not boat, this is still the one. The Ronix is better for crossover; the Remedy is better at cable-specific riding.

Pros
Best value in the park category — excellent build under €500
Grind base holds up to metal rails better than most boards we've tested
Finless design teaches you to edge properly; no training wheels
Cons
Continuous rocker gives less pop than 3-stage — not the best kicker board
Softer flex means it flexes out on bigger riders (95kg+)
Three reasons. One — the continuous rocker is forgiving; bad landings don't punish beginners the way a 3-stage will. Two — the grind base shrugs off metal rails from day one, so you don't have to pay twice (cable board then rail board). Three — Liquid Force's European distribution is the best in the business. Parts, warranty, and stock availability all work.
If someone asks for a first cable board and budget is real, the answer is Remedy. It hasn't changed in five years.
03Two summers, sixty sessions
We ran this board through sixty logged sessions between May 2024 and October 2025. Three testers: 68kg intermediate, 82kg beginner-progressing-to-intermediate, and a visiting rail-specialist at 74kg. Parks: Hipnotic Kite Park (40 sessions), OWC Orlando (12), Wake Up Docks (8).
Kicker sessions: 22.
Rail sessions: 28.
Free-ride cable laps: too many to count.
Boat sessions (borrowed for the comparison): 4.
04On the cable
Pop off the kicker
This is the Remedy's only weakness. Continuous rocker doesn't load-and-release the way 3-stage does, so the kicker pop is measurably lower — we watched the 82kg tester clear maybe 60cm versus 90cm on the Ronix One. For riders who live on kickers, look at the Guara or One instead.
Rails, sliders, presses
This is where the Remedy earns every euro. The grind base is thick, consistent, and shrugs off metal rails that chip a Ronix sintered base within ten sessions. Press hold on a down-flat-down was medium-long — short of the Slingshot Pill but longer than any other board in the category.
05The brief boat experiment
We borrowed a Mastercraft for a four-session comparison. The Remedy is boat-tolerant, not boat-capable. Wake pop is mushy — the continuous rocker bleeds energy instead of releasing it. Landings are plush, which is pleasant, but you won't be sending big air on this board. If you ride boat more than occasionally, spend the extra €150 on the One.
06Durability — and the one delamination
Session forty-eight at Hipnotic. A bad kicker landing folded the tail slightly and a 3cm edge delam appeared along the rail. Liquid Force Europe warranty service was exemplary: replacement board shipped within nine days. The replacement is now at session thirty-one with no issues.
Base — a lot of scratches, no deep gouges. Waxed once.
Top sheet — cosmetic scuffs only.
Inserts — tight and straight after sixty sessions.
Grind base edge — the surprise. Still square after rail-heavy use.
07Who should buy it
First-season cable riders who want a real board.
Riders who ride cable 80%+ of the time.
Anyone whose local park has a lot of rails and sliders.
Budget-conscious buyers who don't want to compromise on build.
Who should not: boat-heavy riders (buy the One), rail-obsessed riders (buy the Pill), riders over 95kg (the flex is too soft for you — look at the Guara instead).
Frequently asked questions
05 questions
Genuinely beginner-friendly. The continuous rocker is forgiving on bad landings, the grind base tolerates rails from session one, and the finless construction teaches proper edging instead of hiding bad habits. Over sixty sessions we watched three first-timers progress on it without fighting the board.
The One pops harder, rides boat better, costs €150 more. The Remedy is the better pure-cable board — softer landings, better rail feel, finless build. If you ride cable 80%+ of the time, the Remedy wins on every axis that matters.
Yes. A finless board can't catch a sharp edge on a wet rail, so you can attempt slides from your second session without any conversion faff. Our beginner tester was sliding boxes by session five on this board.
Under 65kg: 132. Between 65–85kg: 136. Over 85kg: 140. The Remedy runs about 2cm short compared to boat-specific boards — cable riders want shorter for easier rail work. Stick with the chart.
Two honest seasons of thirty-plus sessions each before you'll want to upgrade. We had one small edge delamination at session forty-eight after a bad kicker landing; Liquid Force warranty covered it. The grind base is the limiting factor — deep gouges collect by year two.
