Sup NS,

Just recently picked up a pair of 2010/11 182cm Surface Watch Lifes and seeking advice regarding the ideal mounting point w/ Jesters. 6'0" and 190lbs, ski instructing background, advanced skier in an array of disciplines.

I will be skiing these 66% aggressive all mountain and 33% general park/pipe @ Canterbury club fields in NZ. Already have a pair of Armada Pipe Cleaners for jibbing shenanigans.

Surface provide this useful document:  http://surfaceskis.com/mounting.pdf

Just wondering where others have mounted and would -3.5cm be a "good call"?

Lol, true centre - typical educated NS remark!

Well their suggested boot centre is -2-5cm.

I just got a pair of 2011/2012 green lifes which are basically the exact same ski and Mike at Surface recommended mount them at -3cm

yeah -2 or -3 cm is good. if you ride switch and plan on progressing in park at all, true center wouldn't be a bad option. mine are actually +1 from true center and they still ride great.
