spowell, did a shark come up and eat your integ? because thats sounds pretty unreasonable unless some crazy shiv went down

EJazzle, the concaves are solid

if i didnt get my 4 trac with a huge gash in the front that board would probably last a long time without hitting rails or anything

name pretty much any board from cassette up to 04 and i rode it. The most solid that i had was the concave with the black bottom graphic that just said cassette. I had to send back so many boards to them. finally i just got sick of it and rode the bottom deck of my hampson from the begining of 05 to the end of 06.. then i got an integ pretty much cause i was so sick of dealing with broken, warped splitting water logged boards. I dont think raven would still be riding his boards without a little fabrication. IMO from my situation my statement was not a "gross overstatement"

i wish i would of given the 06's a chance when they came out but i just could justify spending that much on that board due to my prior experiences. Sad

is there any reason to think my simplex could warp from being left in a hot truck?

EJazzle, they were made by paul schmit using the same wood and glue as skateboards. If you have a board for more than 1 year you should start riding harder. long that wanker statement was the best thing in wakeskating right now! hahaha company's need to wake up and make a good cheap boards and ppl need to harden up in wakeskating or else its gonna die quick. P.S. dont talk bad about integs or they will find you!

paul schmidt started working with cassette on the 05 line, not anything earlier...

with a minimal amount of intellegence , a little maintenance ( and a few coats of spar urethane ), it is not that difficult to keep a wooden board safe from water damage.

wakeskatedude, I had that board a few years ago, it flexed in the middle every time I would land coming down from a foot or more. It wasn't that good to start with either.

back to my simplex, let's say i ride, throw it in my car, usually with my life jacket and shoes on it, and it's hot outside it could distort the shape of the board? and would this also be true for let's say a bamboo tnt or team with centra fuse?
