qtybry, hey I don't know much about Integ or Omen. I have a 05 Byerly and like it ok. But from what I hear on this site, the integ and Omen both have very different riding styles and I'm sure are not very similar to a Byerly. You can search the topic on Omen and Integ and find a ton of reviews and advice about both boards. I've never had the opportunity to ride either myself, but from what I understand, both are amazing boards, and the new byerly is supposed to be pretty good as well. Your best bet is to try and demo boards to see what you like.

I ride a Omen and i love it. I found the Byerly rides more like a skateboard and the concave is is more noticable then the Omen.

All three are completely different. However i enjoyed riding them all.

The byerly has a steep ass concave and an insane amount of grip, it rides pretty high in the water and is pretty light. I liked having a lot of concave, it had really good pop.

The integrity is very controllable, with the pre-kicks it's very easy to keep your foot placement on spins and shifties. It also has really good pop. It spins suuuuuper effortlessly which is great once you're used to it, also obviously durable as shizzle.

The omen is my current ride, and i have to say i love it more than the other two, but thats just me. The 5-stage is very weird to get used to but it is a very nice feature, pop is insannne especially on i/o and w2w tricks. It edges noticably better than most other boards i have ridden, and i feel very comfortable with the concave. It spins very predictably on shuvs, which means if you put effort into spinning a 180 shuv, it will spin a 180 shuv. No more, no less. Thats for me anyways.

Whichever board you get, it's a good chance you'll get used to it and like it.

I rode the byerly for a long time and it is a very good board, the board does not get the rails caught much and it has good pop,

I ride the omen and the board is very very nice it has a lot of pop and the concave is just amazing, I sanded down my rails, so it is like a old cassette's rails which was amazing, the board rides really slow and it helps.

I am going to get an Integrity because they just look amazing, But i have never rode one.

price.dan, the byerly like a skateboard? i think the exact opposite..its more like wakeboarding

bjr, i felt it rode like a skateboard but that is just my oppion. I woundln't know what wakeboard rides like since i've only wakeboarded once and it was a year ago so your probably right

So when you rode a Byerly where was your weight at?

i put my front foot in the middle of the board and my back foot on the tail, so most of the time my wait is in the back..

Is that how you ride a skateboard?

itch, good point, but a skateboard rolls on the ground and a wakeskate rides on top of water, so no matter what the shape of the wakeskate is you are going to have to ride it more tail heavy than you would want to ride a skateboard. right?
