| thats probably why Integrity hasn't released any sort of 2012 boards, these might be where erics time is going, along with the production of the phalanx boards. Which isn't such a bad thing, they look amazing.

The gator wrapped wakeboard is definitely not for For The Gator Productions... I've never even wakeboarded ha.
Erich is just having some fun... Enjoy the crazy art guys.

Looks very similar to the vandall. Which Erich produced. If its the same I want one with Randall's graphic for my wall.

SEAMAN, I'm pretty sure I have that one. Isn't it a school?
And Drew, true to the game! 
but that board does look amazing. Randy harris would be a pretty insane addition to mutiny...it would really make sense.

First off those boards look awesome! i am interested in seeing if they hold up as long as integs for strappers.
What i am confused about is that with every year that has passed, integrity supporters have been slammed with long pre order and back order waits to get a board. rather then expand into a market, why would you not make your current market more efficient and with higher costumer satisfaction and new design initiatives. Integrity right now is one of the largest independent wakeskate manufactures and has a very nice following. It just seems like a bad move going from one failing wakeboard company to another start up company where there is so much start up competition right now. between CTRL, Phalanx, Humanoid, and Jobe's reentrance into the US, the small market of people who are not riding cooperate owned wakeboards does not seem as appealing as having every board go out on time for integ. Plus with the Ride Among Us video coming out this march people are going to be STOKED on integrity and will want boards badly. just my 2 cents though

| Andrew MassIVE, yeah it's a downer, but I'm sure that money for producing wakeboards is much easier to make, and more consistent then wakeskate sales. It might be what keeps Integrity Wakeskates alive. - just assumptions though.

That's pretty much it!
It's VERY difficult to stay in the wakeskate game. It's a very small fraction of buyers compared to wakeboards. And there is a lot of new companies that "come an go" and that basically chokes the established brands. So in general new stuff might be good for the buyers(maybe not) ... but hurts guys like me... which might actually be bad as a whole for the sport... depends on how you want to look at it. The true supporters are what keeps us going... some buy something else next year... and get tired of delams or blems ... returns or broken boards... then they come back cause they know we sell a solid product that won't let them down.
It takes about $62,000 for me to produce 250 wakeskates... and that's just materials not labor... so every year we actually sell less boards than the last due to market shrinkage from every other company out there. On top of that Wakeskating sales have plateaued in my opinion or maybe even shank a bit in 2011... hope things are different for 2012.
So if i want to continue making skates i need to fund it some how... that's where Wakeboards come in... It is WAY easier and cheaper to build a wakeboard and it has a higher profit... so from a business stand point... it is necessary in order to maintain the overhead and keep the lights on. This has always been Mutiny's Business plan... not Integrity's... Integ will always be Skates only! Mutiny is both. This is also Why preorders are necessary at times... cause i simply don't have the funding to make them unless you the riders help by pre-ordering.
Also those wake boards hold up very well ... if Randall Harris can ride one for 1.5 to 2 years without breaking!!! then that's insane! especially since he use to snap one or two twice a month with his other brands he rode... Just ask him or anyone who has rode a Company board or Phalanx... They can vouch for the same quality and standards we put into our skates.
All in all... i hope the market keeps growing otherwise everyone won't have a choice... but to ride Vanilla force... or support unproven flavors of month that might not go the distance.
It's a tough racket out there... and every year gets harder and harder to keep the dream alive! just know your cousin wakeboarders / strapers are not your enemy!... it's a relationship that directly supports YOU the wakeskater... whether you want to accept it or not... it's the truth.
