Wood or Composite

I went from my LF 41 to my integ and after my integ I tried the Oak and it just doesnt suit my needs..

Its like going from a wood driver to the new ping G2 back to a wood driver... just cant do it.

wood. Im over composite.

There is something to be said aboutthe simplicity that is wood, and I love riding something natural.

Speaking of wood and natural, I read that mark gonzales wanted to put wood in one of his signature shoes with adidas. This came from skateboarder: "I wanted wood to be placed inside the shoe and rubber around it to give it some soul," explains Gonz. "So you have wood on the board and wood inside your shoe. It would be more natural; you could almost feel the soul of the tree." Adidas opted not to produce the wooden shoe.

I don't know if you read the topic, but we're talking about wakeskates. (I'm not going to use an emoticon, but I"m saying that in a jokingly-matter-of-fact way.)

headhuntermx4, I think it's the rider more than the board. We all know you rip... I personally think for the advanced riders such as yourself the board will not make that much of a difference. It's the extra's that make Integrity so appealing like who it's coming from, customizeablity (sp?) and durability (at least to me, but I don't even own one). That's cool you like your Distortion, good to hear more solid decks are being put out there.

headhuntermx4, do you have any video riding the distortion. it looked odd on the website.

wow what a great thread, what's next? how about fins or no fins?

Gonz probably wanted wood wheels and trucks too.
