A lot more info about what you ski, what you like in a ski, where you ski, and how much money you want to spend will be really helpful.

ALSO Gear Talk

Ask a mod to move this thread to Gear Talk

You need to give more information about yourself. see this thread:

Whats your budget? There is a sizable price difference between the blanks and thalls. I loved my thalls when I had them. They stomped jumps and did well on rails and jibs. Not the most buttery out of the plastic but they do break in.

That shouldn't even be a serious question. The quality of materials and construction used in Armadas, along with it's skiability, far exceeds that of Surface.

from what I've heard, by FAR. End of story son.

Plus Armadas just a bigger, better brand. When someone on Armadas I'm like "that niggas a pro".

Most people on here are gonna talk shit about Surface skis. Most of those kids have probably never skied them before and only talk shit because "everyone else does so it must be true."

i have owned 6 pairs of surface skis. NEVER broken a pair. NEVER had any problems with the skis. 3 pairs of pow skis, 3 pairs of park skis. I have nothing but good things to say about them.

I have never skied Armada before so i cant really tell you anything about them. People seem to like em a lot though.

Dont let people give you the wrong idea about Surface skis. I think i am off topic from the OP, but whatever.

My friend had surface park skis (can't remember the model) but he broke his cores after a few weeks and the whole tails from bindings back looked like retarded rocker on a park ski. And the top sheets proceeded to delaminate. From that pair, I'd say brutal build quality, know some people that are one their 3rd and fourth season on the same armadas.
