At that price durability shouldn't matter much. If you are expecting to get several years out of them then you should get a different ski.

I just bought a cheap pair of new 10/11 doubletimes. Im really curious to see how they hold up. I've had good luck with surface in the past.

I just got some surface blanks in january I think. Third day i took not even a hard hit and delaminated and broke the back. Then today i was riding powder and snapped the whole back off the ski. Great ski to ride while they last though.

I've had two pairs of surface skis, my bindings ripped out of both of them. I've heard of people having the same problem, but other than that the skis were super fun (i had double times, most fun ski i've ever ridden) and had no problems. It seems like its kind of hit or miss for them in terms of durability, but their customer service is super legit too. They'll hook you up no problem if you have an issue.
