oh ok thats good is it worth the money? Where did u order it from?

(eviltweak) · (eviltweak) **Join Date: Jun 2008** 02-01-2009, 7:40 PM

integrity-wake.com go on to wakeskating.com and pm DD after you order ask him the questions about your order it will take a week or to at minimum to get your board probably more. to me its worth it because integrity is indestructible and the tnt is the perfect size along with the prekicks. where do you live do you know anyone who has one that you can try.

(wswb4lfe) · (wswb4lfe) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 02-01-2009, 7:47 PM

I went from the 42 sst, to the 40.5 sst , to the bamboo tnt. Its a bit lighter then the 40.5 sst. the weight is perfect for the size board it is. weight is not an issue at all about this board. it also spins much faster and smoother then the sst. the integrity decks are designed to spin. the centre-fusion core distributes the weight so it spins on axis for shuvs and kickflips. the bamboo core also makes the integrity decks the stiffest decks so they are super snappy. they react quicker and pop faster then other boards, especially the sst. bilevels react extremely slow because the tail has to flex and then it pops.

also you never have to worry about your board breaking unlike the sst where you are constantly worried of nose diving it on a fall ripping the bottom deck in two.

patch, you dont need to pm dd. just email them directly on integrity-wake.com for your questions.

I used to have a Byerly the 07 one is the Integrities top different from that?

(wakemitch) · (wakemitch) **Join Date: Jun 2005** 02-06-2009, 3:14 PM

the integrity decks are much different. way more comfortable

(wswb4lfe) · (wswb4lfe) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 02-06-2009, 4:17 PM

Ok so they arent like the edges of the byerly where the soul of your shoe cant even touch the center of the board because the sides are elevated?

(wakemitch) · (wakemitch) **Join Date: Jun 2005** 02-06-2009, 4:41 PM

no.

what do you want from a skate?

(wswb4lfe) · (wswb4lfe) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 02-06-2009, 4:50 PM

Stability mainly i always don't want to feel when i cut out or am cutting in to do a wake to wake trick i dont want to feel like im going to tip over

(wswb4lfe) · (wswb4lfe) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 02-08-2009, 8:21 PM

sooo yeah

(wakemitch) · (wakemitch) **Join Date: Jun 2005** 02-08-2009, 11:25 PM

the concave and rails of the integrity decks make edging take a lot less effort. but the edges are still super forgiving so you can dance all over the lip with out getting tossed.

also, just riding more will help you out. when i first started wakeskating i would try to cut out on my toes to prepare for a heelside w2w and i would just tumble into the water. the main thing that will help will be to throw away your bindings and only wakeskate. you dont need trainging wheels.

oh snap!

(wswb4lfe) · (wswb4lfe) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 02-09-2009, 2:04 PM

(wswb4lfe) · (wswb4lfe) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 03-14-2009, 3:25 PM

How long did any of yours take to ship?

(wakemitch) · (wakemitch) **Join Date: Jun 2005** 03-14-2009, 4:07 PM

back in the summer it took 2 months. but things are going much faster now. what board are you planning on getting because the 38 and 40 ltds are ready to ship.

(wswb4lfe) · (wswb4lfe) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 03-14-2009, 4:20 PM

i already ordered the 38 TNT about five weeks ago.

(ollieshuvitz) · (ollieshuvitz) **Join Date: Apr 2006** 03-14-2009, 5:50 PM

yeah i ordered the 40 lemons about four weeks ago.

(wswb4lfe) · (wswb4lfe) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 03-14-2009, 6:16 PM

Was yours shipped?

(ollieshuvitz) · (ollieshuvitz) **Join Date: Apr 2006** 03-14-2009, 8:19 PM

nope. still waiting. i was told 3 weeks, maybe 2 weeks, maybe sooner...im on 4 wks now, hoping to have it by the end of the month for some wakeskate trips; which would be 6 weeks.

i knew there was going to be a wait when i ordered it, BUT updates are always nice if there's going to be additional delays. i know a lot of people have waited months in the past, especially over the summer but i really want my skate haha. such a sick board.

did yours ship yet?

(wswb4lfe) · (wswb4lfe) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 03-14-2009, 8:37 PM

i think, ive emailed him and called but i usually dont get a reply untill monday. I have comps and trips coming uo and i really need it in. I'm so excited though. He said it would ship by the end of this week.

(ollieshuvitz) · (ollieshuvitz) **Join Date: Apr 2006** 03-14-2009, 8:41 PM

yeah forsure, hopefully mine will ship around the same time as yours.

(wswb4lfe) · (wswb4lfe) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 03-14-2009, 8:57 PM

i'm hoping since its hand made there wont be any flaws

(ollieshuvitz) · (ollieshuvitz) **Join Date: Apr 2006** 03-14-2009, 9:32 PM

nah, erich is really into perfection so i highly doubt there'll be any flaws.

(wswb4lfe) · (wswb4lfe) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 03-14-2009, 10:00 PM

(eviltweak) · (eviltweak) **Join Date: Jun 2008** 03-15-2009, 8:18 AM

mine took 3 weeks to get to my door. i just got lucky when i ordered

(lakehippie) · (lakehippie) **Join Date: Jul 2008** 03-16-2009, 5:26 AM

I just ordered the LTD 38 but I got real lucky, my order was placed right after a product run so I should be seeing mine soon. The reason they take so long to ship is because they don't just mass produce them they really take their time and only do product runs when enough orders come in. These boards are WELL worth the wait time, they are going to last us FOREVER!!

(wswb4lfe) · (wswb4lfe) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 03-16-2009, 8:10 AM

Yeah mine should be coming today or tomorow

(wswb4lfe) · (wswb4lfe) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 03-18-2009, 5:28 PM

(wswb4lfe) · (wswb4lfe) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 03-18-2009, 9:19 PM

How is the bamboo tnt wake to wake?

(wakemitch) · (wakemitch) **Join Date: Jun 2005** 04-23-2009, 12:23 PM

Adam, its amazing. i was nervous about it w2w because of the size made me think there would be a bigger chance for one foot to come off, but the concave and prekicks of the board keep the board really well. on other boards i felt like my feet would drift in the aiir while going wake to wake and my feet would shift around. but the with the tnt my feet stay secure the whole time right where i want them. also, even though the edges are really round the egdes grip well and the out line of the board allows the boad to cut really well into and up the wake.

(wswb4lfe) · (wswb4lfe) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 04-23-2009, 2:52 PM

It's amazing

(nautiques210) · (nautiques210) **Join Date: Dec 2008** 04-23-2009, 3:48 PM

Mitch, thanks a lot i was curious on how it would track into the wake and being finless but now im really interested in getting myself one

(wswb4lfe) · (wswb4lfe) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 04-23-2009, 4:35 PM

It's really worth it i got myself one and its amazing. every trick is much easier now coming from a 42 sst

I just picked up a Lemmons Bamboo (coming from a Vinyl) and I don't think I will ride anything else. I am a beginner on the skate but was landing huge heelside jumps consistently and coming close to 360 shuvs the first time I rode it.

I am riding finless so it is loose for sure but once you get used to it there is no going back. Forces you to really use your edge but still tracks very well.
