We present high resolution two-dimensional velocity fields from integral field spectroscopy along with derived rotation curves for eleven low surface brightness galaxies. We fit NFW and pseudo-isothermal halo models to the new data combined with previous long-slit and HI data. In most cases we find the pseudo-isothermal halo to better represent the data than the NFW halo, as the NFW concentrations are often lower than expected for a LambdaCDM cosmology. We also compare our results to previous studies and find that including the new two-dimensional optical data does not significantly alter the halo parameters, but does decrease the uncertainties by roughly a factor of 2.
