Erich has been working very hard on a new shape for Integrity's 10 Year Anniversary. We wanted to give the community a bulletproof wood deck for the wood pushers under 250 dollars. It will give softer landings and will feature a more mellow concave along with the very durable urethane sidewalls.

meekers, I really have no idea but I would guess sometime in April as thats the 10th anniversary. Can't wait to see what these guys have up their sleeves.

Where has Integrity been, They had a banner on their site saying new products were coming out in March then when March past it just says 2014 Products Coming Soon. I don't have facebook so maybe i'm missing something but the lack of updates makes it discouraging waiting for new product to drop. Love the boards, on the fence about the company.

No updates on Facebook at all, I'm waiting also, loved the prototype pictures.

I'd buy one immediately.

Hey guys sorry about the lack of information about this years line of boards. We've had some unforeseen things arise. As far as I know Erich still plans on putting out boards this year. We ran into some problems with the prototype for the new shape and are working out the kinks on that. Ill try to get more info whenever I get it myself.

I can't help but ask. What was up with jen riding a virtue at the suwannee pro?

The wakebabes posted a shot of her with a virtue at the cable also--not riding it. Another human boardrack situation, i guess.

Jen rode a Virtue for the contest, I'm fairly certain that she's done with Integrity.

In the last year or so I have heard a fair bit of criticism of Integrity from a good bit of the wakeskate community. The main complaint is that while companies like Remote, WaterMonsters, Obscura, Southern, Aphid, Virtue, and many others do a lot to support their riders, Integrity doesn't seem to do much at all. Things like long pre-orders, an absence of availability for boards for sale, and no team travel also tend to make Integrity look like a no-go zone for up and coming riders or potential buyers. Many people just don't see Integrity as a board company that helps or pushes wakeskating.

These are just things that I have heard going around at contests and trips, and don't necessarily reflect my opinion.

I personally love how passionate the Integrity guys seem to be about the team, but I wonder where they'd be if they had the opportunity to join a team that helped them out. I look back to when I was trying to ride for Integrity, and I thank my lucky stars that Andrew hit me up first. Riding for WaterMonsters allowed me to take amazing trips, ride more contests, film a full team video with a great group of guys, and way more. The thing is, a lot of teams do things like this with their riders. It sucks to say, but had I gotten on the Integrity team there is no doubt in my mind that my opportunities in wakeskating would have been far more limited.

I don't say this to hate on Integrity at all, I have a lot of respect for the boards and the guys on the team. I just wish I saw them with a team that did more than throw them a couple of decks a year.
