Is anybody riding these? strongly considering picking a pair up for myself but wanted to get some feedback first. Also if anyone knows anything about surface's durability from recent models (2013/2014) that could be helpful. I know they used to have huge durability issues but wanna make sure that is no longer a problem before buying a pair of skis from them.

Just ordered myself a pair! I'm assuming I'm gonna love em since they're essentially the New Life's little brother, which is my favorite ski of all time.

I can't really comment on the One Times, but I do ride a pair of 2013 Green Lifes. They're basically the same ski as the Watch Lifes, just made with recycled materials. I haven't had any durability issues so far, just the top sheet chips pretty frequently. So, there's that.

last year was their first year in production bro. as for the ski it is very stiff for a park ski but the tip and tail rocker make up for it and make it feel much smaller, even though it is stiff it is super fun to butter around on the rocker. Mostly used it on rails but it held up well on the few jumps i took on em. Put a light binding on it cuz the ski is a little heavy and even though it is a symmetrical ski I thought it felt a little funny riding switch. All together though its fun and would definitely recommend it.
