Join the club - it's been over a month since I sent my warranty claim in. I understand they had the whole unveiling of their 2015 line and what not, but come on.... It's been 6 weeks since I started this process.


I ended up just giving up and purchasing new skis. This was the second or third time I needed to get my double times replaced for delaminating in the tips.

Ripped the heel piece out on my new lives again for the third time. I love the skis, and they are super fun, but it just sucks that for some reason they kept on ripping out. Im just wondering what could of caused them to rip out so easily. Are the cores just weak? Did i just get a bad pair?

Is it the same guy mounting them every time? Using the same holes and helicoiling or drilling new ones?

It's a very rare case that a binding will rip out of a ski because of a ski defect. Typically the mount is messed up.

Was mounted by one shop, then ripped out. Heliocoiled in the same holes at shop number two. When those pulled out, I had shop number two mount them again, but backwards, and they ripped out again.

Do you know when you guys plan on responding to emails & phone calls for warranty - going on two months without hearing anything.

Rocking watchlifes (the black skis with white logos)...looking for newer watchlifes kidna like the last years with 100mm waste and little rocker. What would you say is the closest ski you make to that since you don't make them anymore?

By the way absolutely love your product...had 3 pairs of watchlifes so far.

Yo! We don't have many skis left in stock... but if you visit surfaceskis.com and find something you like you can use the promo code "summer14" for 50% off anything thats left. You should check out the LAB002 if you're looking for a park ski that kills it. We have 6 pairs of them left in a 175cm.

Thanks brotha!!

Thanks much homey!

The closest thing to your old Watch Life's is going to be the All-Mountain Blanks that come out this coming September. They will be available in 172cm and 182cm and are 100mm at the waist. Not to mention, they will retail for $289.95 !!

So yesterday I brought out my 194 New Life's for the first time this year. Up until I took my first turn, I had completely forgotten how much I love them. Snow conditions were crappy and hard, so most of the day was on crud and icy groomers. Despite this, they still turn and handle like they're on rails. Light and super poppy and so much fun, despite the conditions.

I just wanted to give props to you guys for making this ridiculous looking (the looks and questions I get from people are awesome), but crazy fun, monster truck of a ski. Keep up the good work!

Just snagged a pair of Park Blanks today! Super stoked to get them. Never had Surface but I've been hyped on them for a while thanks to my local homie Jake rocking them.

I rode drifters from a few years back at jackson hole and they ripped everything, they also have the coolest graphic I've ever seen. You guys still have one life's? I'd like to get another pair of something similar to the drifter to ride in the park.

Hey Surface,

Absolutely LOVE the all mountain blanks. Been rocking watchlifes forever and now these they are so good.

Is there any possibility of creating an all mountain blank with rocker next year? I feel like it would be the perfect east coast ski if you guys added some rocker to it. Not the crazy 3 point that is on a lot of your models but something that can still keep a decent amount of edge contact point. Been looking for something arond 100-105mm waste with rocker / camber that can still rail turns.

If you guys made a big mountain blank I would be so in...it sucks coming down a run and having a base look like it has been cheese grated.
