My Integrity!

So I rode my new Integrity 41" Team today for the first time. I must say the board is sick! It took a few handles to get used to the weight since I am switching from an SST. However I had to put some fins on it, I just don't know how everyone rides these boards with no fins. I gave it several trys but just could not get used to the feeling of finless. But once I put fins on I loved it. That is all!

mergeleft3, If you are used to riding with fins it will take some time to adjust to relying on your edges instead of your fins. If you want to make the switch give it a few more sets and see if you like it better.

I like riding with fins I always have. I feel like it helps me pop everything more.

I rode my old team 41 without fins, loved it. Tossed one on the back just to try it for funsies, got up and rode around for 30secs before I ditched the handle and said "füçk this". Took the fin off and put it back in my bag.

tjmac, if you're worried about the weight, get the new simplex when it comes out. It's the only integ I like.

i think fins are better. and i dont understand those who ride with 1 fin. i rode my simplex 2 sets w/o fins and got used to it quickly, but just didn't like it.

I've been riding a bi-level for the past two years and this summer I switched back to a normal concave and it definitely took a little bit of time to adjust. but it definitely can be done, and i think it's a really good thing to do because I think it helps you understand your riding better.

Riding with fins makes you pop your tricks.
