New integrity/mutinys vs 2010 integ nt

JB_CANSKATE

Really curious about what everyone thinks of the new integ skates. I have the 2010 nt 39.39 skate and love it but want too try the fortenbarry.

How fast or slow do the new skates feel compared too the older? I ride Cable more then anything else so I don't want too get anything slower feeling.

Post pics if you have both!

JB_CANSKATE, the 2012s are faster. The 2012s are significantly improved all around.

I rode Jenny's last week when I was out at expo and was blown away. I've always had a hard time riding Integrity/Mutiny shapes and have felt more at home on heavier/wood skates in the 40-40.5 size over the years. This was the first Integrity that felt like money! The concave, heavier weight, and rail was dialed in! Really had a blast on this deck.

G.D.K. ,have you ridden it yet? How's the lemons holding up?

Does anyone know the weight on the fortenbarry? How is thr buoyancy?

The Norman that I took a set was pretty much neutrally buoyant. Are all the 2012s like that?

Are the production decks translucent top and/or bottom sheets?

the 39 is not very buoyant, at least for me it surprised me how not buoyant it seemed. it is my first integ, and i've ridden wood all before that. much less buoyant than the wood i've ridden. very fast. i think its 9 lbs. i love the board. im a big guy, big feet, and it works great. even w2w its the most solid i've ever felt. and its the smallest board i've ever ridden. love it. holdin up on the cable well too. very well. oh and translucent base.

I rode my friends 39in Fortenberry and there were some goods and bads. I ride a 38.5 Remote. The integ was not buoyant at all. I rode it on a lil bro and sitting at the dock i felt like the board sat extremely low in the water. It is slightly heavier than my remote. I would say its very fast, spins and flips pretty easily. Its pretty stable under your feet. It was a nice board, I just prefer something a hair shorter.

I share boards with Leif and we ride the 11' NT 39 and love it. Just got the Blake from Erich and Leif says its Awsome!! More pop with the taller tail, faster, and spins great with the little extra weight. The channels are not as deep so it doesn't track as good but only a minor detail to get use to.

I went from the '10 NT (39.39) to the Fortenberry and they certainly ride different. Took some getting used to but I'm having a lot of fun on the Fortenberry. As everyone said it is quick, way quicker than the NT. Sits lower in the water when it is just chillin', so as everyone said it is less buoyant but that didn't make any difference to me. I felt the quickness and .39" shorterness behind the cable much more than behind the ski. New rocker gives it a unique release off the water which was the biggest change for me, thing pops and it pops quick! But looks as though I am starting to get it dialed, had the best line and set of my life yesterday. My board wasn't translucent however which was kind of a bummer as everything I had seen leading up to receiving my board made me think it would be, so I was looking forward to it. But merely cosmetics, the board is a blast. I hope winter decides to call in sick this year...

You need to make a nice edit David! You're fun to watch.

I love that transparent material. I've said it a million times, I want a fortenberry but i would really like it transparent. Anyway, party on Wayne!

JB_CANSKATE, haven't even gripped the Fortenberry yet. Might even just hang it on the wall.

The Lemons is probably the sickest board I've ever ridden. The extra weight & length seems to suit me.

& production decks don't have transparent bases.

39.39 was a weird board for me, way too narrow for my taste. the 38.whatever from previous years was one of my all time favorites though. Havent ridden any of the new ones yet.

electricsnow, I made a gopro edit a few months back, it's a helmet cam one though so I hadn't done much with it. I'll start a new topic with it.
