Im looking at the surface odyssey. Has anyone here ridden on it? Are they nice? From my experience surface is awesome and these look like sweet skis.

I had the one times which is basically the same ski but with an extruded base instead of sintered. Durability wise they were absolutely terrible. With 20 days of riding, the ski started to fall apart. As for how they skied they are a pretty unconventional ski. They have a massive tip and tail that are symmetrical and they feel kinda weird. They also have an insane amount of rocker and don't come in many length options which was a weird decision. I was stuck with getting the 173 because the only other length is 183 and at 183 they increase the waist width. Its three stage rocker instead of normal rocker also which some people like and some people don't. Overall the ski might work for some people but personally I didn't like they way it rode at all and the durability was not the best.
