i will buying a new pair of park skis this summer and i wasnt really looking to spend a ton of money, so i thought i might ask if anyone's skied these or not. i'm a little cautious about surface though cuz my friend broke a pair of one times last year after using them for 2 months or so. thoughts?

Surface has had trouble in the past with skis breaking, but you already knew that. I personally would buy a pair of JOYSTICK THESE for the exact same price with promo code RUNJOY at https://shop.freeskibrands.com/index.php?family=Joystick

Im not sure about their park skis, but ive ridden a pair of new lifes as my everyday ski (in the park, pow days, charging around) for the past 3 seasons and they just have a few top sheet chips. Awesome skis and I definitely ski them pretty hard

How are those New Lifes as everyday skis? I kinda toyed with the idea of playing around with those on groomers, but seems like they wouldn't perform too well there, thoughts?

I love them. They are stiff enough that they perform really well on groomers yet they still have a shitton of rocker to keep them playful. They charge hard too, you can straight line over chopped up/crud without even noticing
