i jus got my 08 ltd the other day, and ive ridden it about 3-4 times, and man does it make me feel like a barney. the thing is so slick, ive heard that im gonna hate it before i love it, but this board is hard to stay on top of.

you can use any fins dude. i used a liquid force fin for a little while and then took it off.

all i have around is hyperlite wakeboard fins around this joint, and they deff dont fit.

go and get a cheap fin from a wake shop, after about a week you will take it off and love riding with no fins.

yeah the driving isnt really up to me since im behind the boat... maybe its jus that we've been riding behind the super air natique with the bags full, that might have something to do with it

RollinTrees, That DEF has something to do with it.

Especially since they're pulling you at wakeboard speed.

Also with you as the rider, the speed IS up to you. Thumb down means slow down.

RollinTrees, just ride in the flats. i guess since they have the bags full there are wakeboards with you when you ride?

yea its my bosses boat and he wakeboards... but yesterday we took out all the groms, we had kids from ages 12-15 riding yesterday, they were throwing down pretty decent too! also got 1 of the kids dads whos like 44 get on the wakeskate... he used to be a surfer so he looked like he was totally surfing the skate, it was pretty dayum funny... macthc... not for sale, but we deffinately need to go riding ASAP, my brother in law said we should try and hit up the ACID canal that runs thru redding for some winching....

burn0n3@420, i found when i rode my integ i had to ride slower because it rides so high
it's all opinion though i'm just telling him what i did when i got an integ and it felt so much better at a slightly slower speed

You could shape your rails so your board sits a little lower in the water.

i think im gonna try re-shaping it a little. jus dont wanna chickity china the chinese chicken it up. its so purrrty

DO NOT RESHAPE YOUR RAILS!

Ride slower, get used to it.

It's gunna feel slick behind a fully sacked nautique because you have to go pretty fast for the wake not to roll over.

You need to work out a deal with your friends where you ride first before they fill the sacks. (or last)

Or shorten that rope up

RollinTrees, i'd listen to soy escuala, he's been with integ for awhile now,

experience > random idea
