im looking at the paul frank skis just because they are so cheap but im afraid they will fall apart very quick and wont make it in the park. And how are surface skis?

I have no idea what Paul Frank skis are. If you want something less expensive Surface is a great option!! What type of skiing are you looking at doing?

I would not buy the Paul Frank skis. Super cheap skis, made with a crappy foam core. When buying stuff, a general rule is 'you get what you pay for applies.' Surface makes a great product at a low price, and they have a somewhat bad rap for durability, but they're definitely making big strides to resolve that. Product is still nice regardless. Go Surface man! Good luck buying!

If you are looking to buy cheap skis do what i do and buy last season's models, there are always sites with some left over selling for cheap. The only problem with this is that many of the most popular skis are not always still available and sometimes length is limited, but it works.

Nothing wrong with bluehouse either. How aggressive of a park skier are you? I'm sure either brand will last you the season.
