Anybody know?
The aquarium and watermonsters stores are both sold out and the virtue ones that I just got broke really fast (I'm thinking because they were made out of rubber)

Gnarly Dancer 42, we have been getting nothing but good reviews about the Lipsticks.
Leif Erkkila approves... his words on the lipsticks.

dude we got you! yeah we are riding at like 20 so if you don't locking in right they will go. we are working on it that was our first run and things only get better? the next batch are going to be solid.
hit me up when you see them on the site and that will be sooner then later.
we have been busting for the new retention set up. hope to see every one here again!

Gnarly Dancer 42, Understandable homie. We have yet to have a complaint or customer come back saying their lipsticks broke. They are also made from a self lubricating urethane, good on all surfaces.
There are reasons they are a little more expensive

Gnarly Dancer 42, we haven't had that happen so far. Our urethane material has a super strong rating which hold up on just about anything. Im not sure what you were hittin when they broke but my set has lasted since last summer and all through toe jam. We got you covered on a new set and hopefully you will have better luck this time.

Used my Virtue lock ins today. First time ever using lock-in so I beat the hell out of them. I would think if you know how to use them they would last. Mine took a beating today and still in good shape. Thanks Virtue. I still have alot to learn but I am on the right track...........by the way only used them on a flat bar doing (trying) nose slides. Got alot of stickers with order.............Bonus

Virtue was nice enough to send me out another pair and they seem a lot stronger. The other pair was really rubbery and the thread inserts didn't go down hardly at all compared to the ones I just got.
I've only hit a my rail a couple times with them, but so far it's working

I have been using my Water Monsters lock in fins a lot lately and they are so nice. Ive used the old Obscura fins (~2008ish) and the original Integ lipsticks and the Water Monsters are so good. They lock in super easy and they have taken a lot of hits with no sign of breaking.
I wish they didnt drag as much, but I rather have the drag if it means they will last longer.
I would like to try aquariums one day too.
