cut off the section that's peeling...
press real hard on the grip around the peeling area...
take a blow dryer and heat up the grip tape and keep
pressure on it. That should stop it from peeling.
sometimes it the grip isn't pushed down hard enough
it can peal up especially if it is cold.

Ive never ridden my integ in cold water, but when i put my grip on i used a C battery and rolled over all off the edges for like 10 minutes. Mine hasnt peeled at all and i rode it all last season.

The first day i got mine i gripped it and took i down to the lake immediately. Well it started peeling so i took a blow dryer and heated up the sticky glue stuff to regainits stickiness and its been fine ever since. That was in July, and its had snow and ice all around it from where we took it outside in the snow.

after you apply the grip try taking a skate board wheel and running that over it. it'll put put more than enough pressure on the grip if you put a screw driver through the middle of it and run it over the grip.

i walked all over my board for ages right after i gripped it. that should be enough pressure right?

jerrysk8, that doesnt make as much pressure as you would think. you foot spreads the pressure. use something more precise like the skateboard wheel idea.

i used my heels. did it for ages. heaps of pressure. trust me if it was your board you'd prob ask me to ease up.

i had to change my grip once on my integrity because the grib wore out after lots of riding. It took me about a hour to get the old grip off with a hair dryer Laughing

ive never had peeling problems with my grip, I always walk all over the board and make sure its on solid.

integrity640, the first time i rode behind Chrisd's seadoo wake last year I smashed mine into some rocks. I was trying my first seadoo w2w at 70 ft, cut really hard, made the ski turn into the shore as I was cutting in hard Laughing

, hit the wake, cleared the other wake then I realized I had about 10 ft to bail before I ran into rocks. So i bailed and the board shot off like a rocket into the the rocky shoreline. My board hit a rock a rock head on and my body was able to slow down enough from my arms trying to slow down my fall that I barely tapped the rocks myself. The board has a little ding in the nose. I couldn't believe it. That night I smashed it down and now you can barely tell that it even happend Laughing

I thought i was going to need to buy a new board after that fall, but damn it didnt even hurt the deck!

LKNKampus, Make sure you let the grip dry/seal overnight after peeling it or reapplying it. I think maybe you didn't let it sit long enough because one time I rode my skate right after gripping it and it just kind of slowly peeled completely off.
