uhh, not yet... but you guys need to post here so that the people at
surface can see how well they'd do releasing a 176 watch life !
for those who have skied surface, you know their skis rip... and those
who havn't skied surface, you've heard the hype, and it's true.
for those of us that are above a 171 and not quite heavy/skilled enough
to rock a 181, it would be a dream come true. show your support
and show the peeps at surface that they'd be supported front and back!

5cms really isn't going to make much difference just so you realise

9 has to give skis away, where Surface sells them
9 is ran by the biggest trustfund scenester in the industry, where Surface has came up on their own and done it right, actually treating people well
9 will always be just 9
9 has about 10 "promodels" that look exactly the same, all for mediocre riders who will never bring anything new to skiing
9 makes promises to athletes and never actually pay them their salary
Retail stores are dropping 9 everyday
Retail stores are banging the doors down at Surface
...surface just gets better every year. 9 is only around because someone's daddy keeps pumping money into it
sorry, but those are the facts, hate me all you want.

Surfaces are lighter than any other wood core ski I've ever held. It makes people go "wow" when they lift it.

If you're too big for a 171 you can ski a 181.

wow harsh. i actually disagree with some of that, but i know alot of it is true. i think 9 is actually a pretty friendly company that just has a bad rap, from what ive delt with them. and i think their riders to contribute to skiing. the ghetto/thug style, while im not saying it's where skiing should be going, i do feel that it is an aspect of skiing, and they are pushing it. its a branch, a style, and part of our sport. i mean, im sure their 06 promo video turned alot of people on to french rap music as well too. dont hate, appreciate.

aside from what other companies are doing or how people percieve them, this thread is to show surface what a good endeavor making a 176 would be. and it's not whether or not i can ride a 181 (i would)... it's showing that there would be a huge market in a 176. no hating!

people buy ninthward skis believe it or not, newschoolers isn't the only part of the ski industry, i meet people everywhere who ask me where i got my skis because they are sick and they would like a pair
and ya, the promodels are all for mediocre riders, mickael deschenaux is so mediocre and has such a bad idea of what style is and he rides so sloppy and flails all of the time...
IN OTHER WORDS:
Shut ya mouth bitch, shut ya mouth bitch

ok you just lost all credibility in this whole fucking thread. learn your history bitch.
mickael invented the whole "making everything look easy as fuck" steez.
in exact science and 1242 he was doing tail/nose presses and he even did a sw tail danish which was WAY ahead of its time back then when skiers weren't even thinking of doing new grinds.
he was the first to carve off jumps, and carve landings! (carve-cork5blunt-carve at wsi the year of strike three)
not to mention his sw 10 at the us open the year of wski where you couldn't tell if he left the ground or not.
if he rode for surface and had a different fashion sense you would be saying how sick he was for being so ahead of his time.

Buy a 181cm Watch Life and center mount it...OR, before I ship them to you I will cut a couple of centimeters off of each end. You won't even notice!!
No, but really, as we grow as a company I am sure that we will offer all skis in more sizes. Unfortunately we weren't blessed with rich parents or large bank accounts so we are taking it one step at a time.
p.s.
This is a gangster-ass thread taking place. Can you imagine Blake Nyman and Mik D in the boxing ring?? That would be some funny shit.

This is kinda true. He used to be among the greatest but this season no way he touches Candide or Tanner. There's just no way.

Mik Was sick when he skied, he doesn't ski anymore and definatly can't hang with whats going on in skiing right now sure hes smooth, but clearly past his prime. The best rider on ninthward is Willy Schnieder and noone knows who he is, but the "pro model" skis are all the same, and everytime I saw freinds who ride for ninthward this winter they where on old skis ( 05-06 )where as my homie Jordan had his surfaces last june......
All times are Eastern (-5)
