Any boards similiar to Catalyst

Well I rode a friends catalyst this weekend and I hate to admit it but I really liked it. My prob is that I really dont want a hyperlite so does anyone know of a similiar riding board by one of the smaller companies? I think what made it good for me was what I will call the built in side fins, I think they call it a tunnel. Made it easier to get on edge and let me get alot more air than I normally do, but I didnt have any trouble snapping it loose for slides and attempted shuv-its.

Why dont I want a hyperlite? I just like to support smaller more rider operated companies. Also I dont want to have the exact setup as one of my main riding buddies.

I currently ride a Kampus Swing or another friends Scape. i've tried the gate and didnt like it nearly as much.

thanks

if you like it then there should be no reason not to buy it but on the other hand i know what you mean check out the new 484

i think it would be better to support hyperlite than 484. that's just my opinion.

noneya, the integrity deck has the same channels (or tunnel if you prefer) as the catalyst, and integrity is rider owned. check it out www.integrity-wake.com

Parky, the butter skate (errr...i mean armada) rides more like a cassette than a catalyst...

integritys are probably the best way to go like scott a said.

scott a, sorry buddy im just adding other details and I dont care if he asked for them.... and I did care about the butter skate before it was a LF I thought it would be a sweet board to ride...

definatley try the integrity, but if you like the catalyst more then just go for it (and this is coming from a hyperlite hater)

Yeah after looking around it seems like the integrity is probably the way to go. I would like to ride one first, but may take the plunge anyway.
