which board?

I can't decide between getting the hyperlite catalyst 2.0 or an integrity team 41. I would like to consider the TNT but cannot find it on the website. Where can you buy these? How much do the pre-kicks help lock in your feet? As you can tell I am leaning towards an integ but just need that extra info. If anyone can compare these two boards that would be great. Thanks in advance.

2.0 it rocks

I have ridden them both. This might not help but i really like them both alot. The 2.0 sites higher in the water but has a lot of pop , and probably not as strong. I am a big fan of riding in the pockets and the integ is probable better for that.

i ride an 06 byerly which is pretty much the same thing as the 2.0. its a pretty descent board.

I say get the cheaper one, I had a byerly it broke and they fixed it, thats pretty much the worst that can happen, they send you a new one.

mvpaintballer88, If you want to be cute with your little friend, do it somewhere else. Seriously. We don't care.

I've ridden the NT 41 and the 06 Byerly (from what i understand, pretty much the same as the 2.0)

I really like the Integ. It was a perfect weight and as you probably know, you can shape the edges and change how it sits in the water. The pop is super consistant, and the pre-kicks are a really cool feature that greatly improves the way the board feels overall. The concave is really nice and it just feels really nice under your feet.

The Byerly (Catalyst 2.0) rides super high, but like someone else said, has really good pop. The kicktails and concave are suuuper steep, which can be good or bad, it just depends on what you like.

The TNTs were sold out a while ago.. or was that only the 39..75? some people are selling used ones every once in a while around here..I haven't ridden the 2.0 but I have never been a fan of the way hyperlites/byerlys ride or feel. So I would say go with the integ.. the 41 is good weight and good size.. the prekicks are very nice.

thanks for all the input. I am really leaning toward the integrity skate. Is it worth even trying to get the TNT or just get a new Team 41?

the only difference between the TNT and the TEAM is that the TNT has a durasurf bottom and the graphic. Unless you are going to be hitting rails like everyday, then get the team. And its still got a PBT bottom which most boards have now and it holds up great. I love my integrity team
