Hi, I'm interested to get hold of the joystick these but I would like to know which of the 2012 Suface No Time or Joystick I should take. I'm average 5.8 ft tall and my weight is 130lbs.I already know that the joysticks are very light and buttery but do they break easily?Please help me !

Didn't realise this actually ... Was looking into buying a pair during the season and never heard any reports of especially poor durability. Thus I thought I should answer OP's "do they break easily?" question.

These skis durability is good compared to no times but comperable to the double times. If you detune the edges real good right out of the box they will last you a season or two.

thanks everyone because i didn't found a review of the joysticks and i was looking for a pretty lightweight ski.For the last 2 years i was riding the Afterbang and i found them so heavy and stiff... I was much smaller than now so it was very difficulty to land tricks on my afterbangs and I did not find any flex in this ski...
