Technically out of Alpine. If you live in Utah you should definitely go see if Mike has some in the shop. Last time I talked to him he said all the demos were strewn about the country, so I'm not sure. They are sick skis though. I expect big things to happen in the next few years.

They look ok, but they don't specify the sidecut or type of wood in the core which to me seems very weird.

i didnt mean they were sellin for 200 hundred, i was just sayin I wouldnt pay 500 for a ski that i have never heard of or heard of ne one riding, i just think 500 is a bit high for a brand new company

well armada was sellin their skis for well over 500 in their first year, they just hyped it up. I bet if surface skis hyped their products people would buy them.

well armada was able to hype up there products by having some of the best skiers in the world on their team, I don't think surface skis have that luxury so they have to start getting just locals to get there kis and start slowly expanding

The next time you ask someone how their day is going, expect, no, DEMAND a response. Don't settle for good. Demand the truth. Make them admit that they're having a shitty day, and then do your best to make it worse.


But of course, like all great plans, this one has its hitches. I know there are going to be some bleeding heart sissies that are going to think it's wrong to launch old people into the sun. But don't worry, I've got a plan to deal with them too.

All I want are some fucking dimensions and construction details. Without those, they might as well be trying to sell DEFI SKEEEZ... Schmucks.

^ I still don't believe you. Half the kids on this website could start up a ski company in a couple hours that rivals Surface at this point. Why is it so hard to provide numbers and construction details? Because they don't exist?
