getting new board

hey guys im getting a new deck this year and im looking for advice and suggestions on wat 2 get. i was looking at the Byerly and LF armada. ive heard some negative things about the armada and i would rather have grip tape. i had some crappy hyperlite wood deck that broke on me twice so i would like 2 stay away from wood decks unless others are much better quality. i do some w2w stuff but mostly into the flatland type stuff. what else is out there? i was also looking at integrity team deck but its a bit pricey.
thanks
mike.

Integrity all the way. This board will not break, and is worth every dollar you pay.

heroldmike,

http://integrity-wake.com/ (hand made in the USA. Best skate imo)

http://gatorboards.com

http://byerlywakeboards.com/

http://www.oakwakeskates.com/ (very good wood decks if you decide to go this route)

http://www.sattelyte.com/ (also very solid wood skates)

Distortion skates,

Not sure what cassette is doing this year.

I love my Integ. Can't go wrong, if you don't like it, you can sell it very quickly.

LFPIMP, do you have one?

The Omen is a 5 stage, while some people dig them, most people prefer the 3 stage.

Check this out.

all this technical talk gets me confused.

try and ride as many boards as you can, find what works the best for you and stay with it.

if you wakeboard, i would start with the same rocker.

devon, My Integ is a three stage, it really doesnt matter what I have, I still suck.

It seems most skates are 3 stages and GB has a Hybrid rocker(?).

And then you can put a kid like TNT on a plank of wood and he would kill that too.

what kind of rocker is this below?

http://www.oakwakeskates.com/2007_wakeskates/80s_pool_deck.html

length - 42"
width - rad
tip/tail width - radder
rocker - uh-huh
weight - 5 lbs
MSRP - $109.99
