Are the 07-08 Surface Watch Life's a good rail/ park ski. Are they soft? and are they durable?

Thanks

I have the 06-07 Watch Lifes, which are the same as the 07-08s with a different topsheet, I think.

I like them a lot. That said, they're soft enough, but not real soft if you're looking for a ski that's easy to butter and stuff, there's a lot of park skis that are softer. They're good on rails and in the park - they are a park ski, but wide enough for some all-mountain stuff. Topsheet chips a bit, but other than that no real problems in about a year and a half.

If I could do it over, I'd definitely get them again, not much better out there for the price IMO.
