Do a search on wakeskating.com, the topic has been covered so many times, after reading a few of them, you'll know everything you need to know.

Enzoborder230, I was also torn between the two. Definatly listen to Hoff and check out wakeskater.com, I read a ton of reviews and posts before I made my decision. Pretty much what it came down to for me was that I wanted something that would last forever, my old wood board cracked pretty quick (lf flat). Although I really wanted a wood board, but they say the integ's ride just like wood. Sound like cassette is having some durability issues with the bi-level...good luck.

The average lifespan of the bilevel is 5-6 rides. The Integrity will last you (depending on how you ride) anywhere from 3 - ??? seasons. It will outlast any other skate on the market and the durability is only one perk. The ride (once the rails are rounded) is very stable and controllable. The pop generated between this skate and the water is incredible and it allows for the most complicated technichal moves like hardflips to be taken into the flats. The concave gives you a better, more solid feel on the skate and the pre kicks near the tips give you that extra hold on those big airs. The rails are designed to be customized and I suggest using sand paper to round them down a bit.

I recommend the integrity over the bi-level for these reasons, but which ever you choose, remember to do your part in pushing wakeskating in the right direction by supporting rider owned companies. Who do you want leading the industry? A business man in a suit in an office somewhere or that guy out on the lake trying to figure out what else he can do to make his skate ride better? Support rider owned co...
