| Did anyone actually pre order one of those?? They never said what the boards were going to be made of, or what size they were going to be. |

Just bit the bullet & ordered a 39.39 only 2 left now people.
I was going to hold out till 2012 before I updated my 2010. The base is was getting a bit thin after hitting rails at cable 3 days a week for 15 months.
Better to be on a freshy than kill my 2010 & go without! |

First off i want to say holy shizzle i just read 14 pages........again holy shizzle i just read 14 pages.... i thought the only way my opinion would be valid would be if i read the entire 14 pages well i did and..
here is what i;ve gathered from the 14 pages
-that dude and his wife are not having disagreements on how appropiate the board is. In fact he and his wife are in fine relations and he just prefers to have a board without sexual themes
-schmaltz said he wanted to create something controversial that fit gabe paulson, and that he did perfectly, these boards are unique, and as if he has stirred up this much controversy good or bad, he has won. I think he couldve kept the movie poster theme but maybe been more creative and slapped a pic of gabe paulson on the side boob or something.
overall i like the side boob
-also he said he was the first to put a sexually charged graphic on a wakeskate. can some legitimate source like esnow verify this/
-also whats up with distortions advertisement "first board built for winching and big drops" i want to know specifically how they designed it for winching, good to see an old company like distortion around and kickin it though
-my final opinion and probably the most important is that Australians (ecspecially from the gold coast) shred
also this will probably get 100 pgs, but not surpass nicks TNT carpe diem release party thread..
my final page count prediction is 104,,, what do u guys predict _________________ I heart wakeskating. one day we will reunite for a daily morning glass sesh,,, one day..... |

not true, and I don't understand why that is anything to want to exclaim or be proud of in the wakeskate community.
Previous "Sexually Charged" boards.
I'm sorry to reignite the flame that everyone well forgot (and with good reason),
but here it is again.
http://www.wakeskating.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32195
WATER FRONT wakeskates.
also, NEW wakeskates back in 2005-2006 had a naked women faded into the wood bottom of some of there concaves/flat decks.
EDIT:to add water front and new

didnt someone do lips graphics?
and somewhere new made a few skates with lady on them
but im sure we need someone like bill clinton to help us clarify what the definition of sexually charged graphics is
who cares what this guys wife thinks or what we think
as long as gabe is happy about the way it looks
and if we dont like it we dont have to buy it
not like its the only integ made this year...or was going to be made this year...or whatever...this thread sucks now
i was really hoping for a lemons (maybe it was too raunchy )
looks like we will all be waiting till next year
and wouldn't a more appropriate tie to sex and wakeskating be in some type of "strappless" themed art?  _________________ https://vimeo.com/moontowerco |

As much as I love the products Integ/Mutiny release, I hate to say it but it seems like almost every release gets held back by some issue or another.
I wish they could get a grip on production runs. I know they cant control everything, but it is not like they just entered this game.

I think most people in WAKESKATING community don't give a fvck about the fact that it is sexually charged theme. Schmalz is saying from a businessmans point of view that "sexually charged themes" 1. sell good to customers. 2 Us = customers.
slapdown, was originally saying was not that he didn/t think graphic needed to be more creative idk,
Schmalz is saying it is indeed creative because No other company besides water front wakeskates, which although is a little better , you can't blame him for not having heard of
bottomline: Integrity takes time on their graphic, b/c unlike many boards the graphic doesn't wear off. |

I'm not knocking Schmaltz as much as you probably think i am either. My statement is more in surprise, because of what i've seen come from him and how clean and well done old Integrity graphics were. It just seems to be getting lazy on the art side. It looks to me that, basically since 2008, a lot of the individual elements in each graphic had time and effort put into them, but then just thrown blindly onto a board. There is no unity.
Please stab me when i get my own pro model. |
^^^^ Thats what you were saying.
is it fair to say that can be summarized into a need for more creative graphics?
by the way is Slapdown skate company still in operation? |

| dirtyohioriver22, i don't see anywhere in Slapdown's post that it even acknowledges the lack of creativity in their boards past or present..His point, from my perspective was that he felt, after much diligence and hard work from Schamltz of getting together the correct elements for his boards he did a sub-par job putting together these elements in the best unison. I do not see Slapdown questioning the creative integrity (no pun intended) of Schmaltz's products. |

Agree that they need to get it together. Nothing has shipped on time the last 3 years and packaging sucks. Great product, but bad logistics _________________ "I said take me to the sea, cause that is where I want to be. I said take me to the sea and let my mother bury me." Buck-0-Nine |
