So i'm around 6'3" and around 215 lbs. This year i want to get a new board, and am deciding between a Remote and an Integrity if i can only afford one. My question is will i snap an integrity going w2w if the biggest they make this year is the Fortenberry 39"? im honestly not worried about the size of how it rides. Just its durability. Im used to riding a 39" and 40". If i get a Remote it will be the 40". Any insight as to how these will hold up with my weight going w2w or on drops?

Lol.... I bet Integrity/Mutiny comes out with a 40 or 41 this year.... and there's no way you'll ever break one of their boards w2w. Remote's appear to be very solid and durable boards, but nothing has proven to be more durable than Integrity in the market.

Will you be doing w2w tricks onto rails?

I think you will be way safe either way bud. Both these companies are pretty much bullet proof and will last many years. At your size and being a wake to wake guy I'd rock the 40.5 Remote or wait for Integrity/Mutiny to drop a 40. What were you riding before so we can get a feel for your likes and dislikes in a board? The weight of the Remotes feels really good on wake to wake's, snappy as heck, and the rocker is really quick. The only thing I had to do was sand my rail down (I'm used to my cassette's Wink

) since I like something a bit more forgiving for lip tricks. Hope that helps out.

you aren't gonna break an integ, and probably won't break a remote. I'd try an integ and see if you could get used too it, not sure what you're used too

I've never even heard stories of an integrity ever breaking. And of course their gonna make a 40 this year just not with K.Powers graphics.

sigtex, signature should come to Utah and do a demo day during one of the wakeboard comps here. i think the boards look very legit, very solid. im sure tho there are lots of people wondering about the different shape.
