i think the two companys rule there type of boards...best wood board=oak best composite=integ.

Well to ME, Oak (wood) jsut feels natural, while Integrity (composite) does not.

It really is going to be a personal preference thing--apples and oranges. if you can, ride them. If not, good luck with which ever board you decide suits you best!

the OAK is soooo heavy and rides really deep in the water and is really slick without fins, i think the integrity is kinda light but has really good pop and spins awesome......i like my integrity alot better

but truthfully listening to other people isnt gonna help you much.....you gotta ride them both!!

big_dee45, The oak is only heavy if you compare it to an Integ.

i prefer the integ of the oak. but they're both awesome. but like everyone else said they're basically opposite each other. your just gonna have to ride them and decide on your own.

Slapdown, i disagree...i used to ride a impulse and then the oak and then my integ.....the oak was always real heavy to me. just the way it rode really deep in the water.

If i see one more of these which rides better posts, i am going to go insane!!!! First of all you are asking for a comparison of two boards on the COMPLETE OPPOSITE END OF THE SPECTRUM. The oak is a much heavier wood board that is very stable in the water where the integrity is composite, lighter and more manueverable. You can't compare wood to composite, they are completely friggin different. People rave about the integ and people rave about the oak. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LOUD NOISES Smash

kyle, i agree....but i didnt have much stability at all on the oak, thats why i didnt like it, but i mainly rode it finless

big_dee45, I can see the Oak being heavy, it is a wood skate after all. But after my K39 it's a lot lighter. You made it seem like it's like 15 pounds or something Laughing

Also Gator wood decks are INSANELY heavy.

Anywho i am going to have to agree with comparing these skates is just ridiculous. The only things you could do is compare features and figure out what you would like best.

i wonder if someone built a board out of balsa wood and coated it with fiberglass......hmmmmmmmm

its easy for you people to say just ride them both and see which ones is better cause wakeskates are not scarce in your country and you guys have a chance to demo skates. As to where we come from there's even not one shop that sell wakeskates here. Shops here are so limited (around 3-4) and most of what they sell for wakesports are wakeboards and bindings! Confused

Alex Lirio rides a bilevel which is really beaten up but is not broken yet and we all know bi-level is a lot different from the oak. He has tried my integ but its an 05 lemons so its different from the 06 tnt. Since there's not even one oak wakeskate here in our country, i think its better to ask which board is better from people who have tried it already.

yabu has 3shuv'ed the correct.

Even here it is not that easy to go to a shop and demo an Oak or an Integ. Most shops don't carry them at all, let alone demo one out. You'd have to have friends that have them in order to ride them. Riding as many different boards as you can is great advice, but just not always possible, even in America.

yeah but you guys can easily order those boards and sell them easily if you don't like them. but we can't do that..we have to be sure that the board we're getting are good cause we're a thousand miles away from those shops plus the shipping and the warranty which we probably won't be able to use. that's why i got the integ..
