"Surface is a great company, they just build shitty skis." That is what I am getting from your post. I have not ever skied a surface ski, so I won't comment on how they ski, but I would like to know what you think is 'spot on' about their designs.

actually, their "thoughts of skis" seems to me like what a couple high college drop outs thought would be a good practical joke.

Rly there are more?

From what I've heard, only the 9 lives had problems because they milled the core to thin.

I love my one lifes, and they're holding up great, with no edge cracks, sidewall cracks, delam, or core shots, and I've been shredding them in the park since mid season.

Only no times have had durability issues. Double times look like sick skis.

Not true... I have seen too many different surface skis with delam/sidewall/edge issues. Its not just the "no times"

And all of their skis are pretty much the same basic shape, just different widths, flexes, and rocker shapes. They are pretty much just "good looking"

Here, scroll down this page...

http://www.rockymountaingearguide.com/buyersguide/surface/surface-skis.htm

I just think they need to get a little more creative with their shapes...

But I guess I am talking out my ass for the most part, I have only taken one run on some Anthony B's. They are pretty much the same as my chopsticks, so they were pretty sweet, but I hear lots of complaints... Just my opinion, nothing more.

You should just stop while you're ahead. This is probably the dumbest fucking post I've ever read in GT in a long time. Surface is a great company. Don't knock until you have tried, retard.

I have tried Surface skis, and I liked what I tried... (Anthony B fatties, Live Life 2s) but,,, scope Evo, tetongravity, here, etc...

You will find a very large number of positive reviews, but you will also find a large number of reviews that complain of durability and hard snow performance, chatter, among other things. Too many, in my opinion.

From a function and durability standpoint, there are too many cons to the kink rocker design. It may be sweet, but it sacrifices too many things.

Also, I have no clue how it is used in the skis, but on the website I found several mentions of biaxial fiberglass. Not good, in my opinion...

But I also hear nothing but praise for the Surface customer service. I am not trying to bash the company, or their products, I am just providing my biased personal opinion. I would not buy a Surface ski, because I find other skis by other companies better in my opinion...

As for my post sounding dumb, I can't really say what I am trying to say, so we will just leave it at that...

Sorry for clogging the thread with this off topic BS.

I find the durability fine. Every ski company has their flaws. I like how they make their skis. They ride fine.

Seconded. Stop bitching about ski companies in this thread. If you want to discuss it, look for one of the other threads talking about it, or start a new one.

It is. Looks a lot weaker then the current Tyrolia 12 din binding, but a bit stronger then the old 11 din toe. Without running any tests on it it seems to be a look full drive toe stripped down with some minor changes.
