Integrity board tech info

Now that the new CNC has arrived at integrity’s new production facility the door to a bright variety of new projects is pushed open. Via wakeskating.com Erich has given a brief outlook on what’s to come and what’s to expect.
First of all they are working on the improvement of the 41 model or rather a new 41 version. It’ll gain a little more weight “Integrity's 08 line up will be a pound to 1.5lbs. or so heavier... Some where around 9-10 lbs.” get some steeper concave and some higher kicktails. Furthermore the center/weight combination was improved to make the new integrity boards even more subtle wapons for excessive spin- and flip-tricks.
The 39,5 will be replaced by a board, sized to fit the needs of integ team riders Nick Taylor and Ryan Lemons. It’s scheduled for march release.
Other projects are the “GREEN” deck with 100% recyclable materials (“(hemp) fibers substituting the fiberglass”) and boards with Bamboo/composite cores. The bamboo one will be heavier than the other boards and is thus suited for the guys that like a denser feel in their skates.
Besides new shapes and materials, Erich is also working on different production processes and techniques to improve the response and snap of the board.
For further info about what’s to come go ahead and check this thread on wakeskating.com.
