Independent Wakeskate Companies

Lets discuss the independent wakeskate companies in the USA that are still making boards and what you guys think of their boards. I know Integ is on a hiatus for a few months until 2012. Remote is gonna release again in 2012 I'm assuming. Omen is now officially Arson-old news, and their site says new webpage coming soon. Satellyte just has a video on their website. 12 Gauge doesn't have any boards on their site. Also, I saw the post of that boardshop that just started selling Water Monsters.
