Surfy? I mean my Icelantic Gypsys are pretty surfy with 125 underfoot but then again, if it wasn't there'd have to be a problem... I am stoked for testing out a pair of JJ Zeros I picked up. Hopefully the 20% lighter part helps them surf and maneuver better (not saying that they weren't already hella fun).
If you want some surfy skis, I suggest you take a gander at the Liberty BFFs from a while back, they were pretty surfy with 200 underfoot...
k2 pettitor is a damn fun ski, very surfy in the deep stuff yet super maneuverable. Definitely the surfiest ski I've skied but I'd love to get out on some powabungas or older obsethed and hellbent models to see how they've stacked up over the years.
EP Pros were mighty surfy but easily the most surfy ski I've ever touched is the Surface Lab. Wish they still made them because my pair has gotten trashed. Never been on a more fun deep pow ski. I think people deeply underestimate how awesome convex bases are

You can find them for super cheap on the interwebz.
Never skied them before but they would be so fun I imagine.
I can definitely hold an edge better on the New Life's, but both are what I would consider very surfy. Three-stage rocker is super fun!
Ive had the One Lifes (new Live Life 2s I believe) and I didn't find them surfy at all. Too much rocker at a weird angle and abrupt kink they kinda plowed the snow. Super fun ski, but I wouldn't buy them for a powder ski. The New Lifes however have much less of an angle on the rocker and are pretty surfy. Those LABS look unreal.

I wouldn't say the LL2's/One Lifes are super surfy powder skis, but on groomed stuff, I would say the way they ski is surfy. Not floaty, but the way you can slash and 'slarve' with them translates more to surfing than long, hard dh or short and fast gs turns you get with 'regular' skis.

og moment ghost chant or ep pros both were super surfy. Probably the ghost chant a little more because of how much lighter they were and with hardly any sidecut to ever hook on anything.
idk I guess it depends on how a person skis but they would have a tight radius and an aggressive rocker but my pipe cleaners are really quick maybe not so surfy like my slats but wets look mad surfy
My pick would definitely be the Nordica Radict at 157-127-146 it's definitely a big ski but super quick and maneuverable. And it has a super mellow and planey rocker profile that allows you to just stay on top of the snow and surf the earth.
The skis are a lot stiffer than the patrons which just helps to drive the skis around and crush everything

snowblades iwth training wheels! used to swear by those skis.
my vote for surfiest skis is definately the Armada ARG. holy shit that thing was amazingly fun. I wish I still had mine now that I have a sled. They werent that great of a resort ski but once you hit any little bit of power man you just smeared turns it was unreal!
if anyone has a pair I would happily take them off your hands now that I think about it.

ZypherBut is it able to carve on hardpack? I liked the "Im going to die if I dont find fresh snow" sorta thing...
Heard its going to be a lot more versatile than it was. Honestly its probably going to do just well enough on the hardpack to make it not scary anymore, still a reverse sidecut pow ski

oh hell ya! I mean that ski could make it down the hardpack obviously it wasnt meant for that. As just a straight sled ski though take it out on the deeper days, im in. got me stoked!
Made these a few weeks ago and they are definitely the surfiest ski I have ever been on. They have no edges, a fiber glass base and are super fun in slush/pow.
It should be interesting to see what Armada does with the ARG since it would appear as if Logan Imlach is now moving to AK to make his own skis and would seemingly not be working with Armada anymore?
