Oh but I done goofed. None the less the Double Times are great if you specifically want a real stiffass ski. I bought mine and figured after a couple times they'd flex out (I like a medium flex ski). After about 20 days on them they never even changed flex patters. It's crazy how stiff they are. I recently bought Rossignol Scimitars and I hope they're a little better. Anyhow, the skis are great if you want that stiff of a ski

thanks for the vid, I just don't know about the stiff part of the ski because right now I'm on the K2 Press and i like being able to bend them so much. What about the surface blanks?

Seen guys I know do it, the only problem is the bases on the labs I hear are different material than their other skis And so they get trashed easy and are a lot of upkeep

I rode my one times for the first time today. Holy shit, they are so much fun, and carve extremely well. I love them.

Surface makes awesome skis, buy a pair and test em for yourself.

Ive had 2 pairs, sold em both because i needed money and i just bought another pair because they make such nice skis. That should tell you about their quality. Ive only hade the life series
