Mellissa always impresses Liquid Force with her design ideas and this year is no different. Having had more to do with this product design than almost any other Liquid Force rider, guy or girl, Melissa is constantly seeking products that will allow the woman rider to progress and have fun doing so.

Her new board carries in the continuous rocker tradition of the Trip and her previous board, the Angel. Rocker line has been increased, and the rail line has been softened in the center for extra forgiveness. Melissa’s new shape was designed from the ground up to fit her needs. It’s the first women’s board designed exclusively with her ideas and input she’s received from other high end riders. Gone are the days of sticking a girl’s graphic on a guy’s board. The Melissa truly is a board designed to take women’s riding to the next level.

Melissa Boot

Melissa has done it again... She’s once again came to LF with a boot idea that has changed the way they look at the designs for all boots… Not just women’s! An idea that initially had lukewarm reception among the designers quickly became one of LF’s prototypes and one of the most used on office trips to the lagoon. This prompted LF to create not only the Melissa’s boot, but also the guy’s version, called the Vantage. No other boot in LF line or on the marketplace allows for easier, more convenient entry and closure. Whether you have a wide front portion of your foot and narrow ankle, narrow all around or have some funky combination, the Velcro closure straps make this boot simple to customize. Besides dialing in the fit and performance, Melissa has always made a point to keep comfort a top priority in her boot and this year is no different. The same outer support and inner softness that her boots have always had is here for every level of woman to enjoy. The ripper looking to take her riding to the next level needs to look no further than the Melissa and the Melissa boot.
