hey i know a lot of you are riding the integ. i just got mine reccently and rode for the 1st time last sunday. i was having a hard time sticking my frontslide bv to backslide. the board seems to go underwater or get an edge. what's wrong?

I can't really picture the trick you are talking about but if the integ catches on the edge it is because it is sharper than a wooden board rail. You can sand the integ rails to round em up if it suits your riding style more

its a frontside boardslide then 180 body varial to backside boardslide. lemons did that trick in such is life. i was able to do it easily on the byerly and bilevel but everytime i do the body varial from frontside to backside the board seems to catch on edge or it sinks in the water. maybe i'm just not used to the integ yet but what should to correct this?

The integrity's take a while to get used to.

Also like Nekkie said if you sand the rails down a little the board will have less of an edge on it.

I have left the rail by the nose and tail fairly sharp, so its responsive on quick turns and shaved the rails in the middle down. The board sits a little deeper in the water making tricks easier to land (as I ride finless).

Very Happy

yabu, When you 180 I'm pretty sure it becomes a frontside lipslide not backside boardslide.

na man, pop it... seriously bounce off the board, kinda like popping a board on a trampoline... kinda bounce off of it. that way it'll stay up top. it's not the boards fault. i've never sanded my rails.

soy escuala, yeah i know its not the board's fault. i think its the way how i do it cause i'm new to riding the integ and why some people can do it easily on their integs. i just need more time and practice with it.

nickersnackersknockers, i thinking not to sand down the rails. if its harder to do tricks with it then i have to be patient till i get it. this way when i do tricks on other boards it'll be much easier. i think... Smile

Jama, i ride cable so there is no wake to lip slide. i start with frontslide where my back is facing the cable that pulls me then 180 bv to backslide where my front is now facing the cable that pulls me.
