This thread is pure speculation but what has been up with Surface? I am a huge fan of their skis and this thread isn't meant in any way to degrade their image, but damn they've fallen off. Are they done making planks? There are a couple reasons that may be the case.
1. Their team:
They've gotten rid of:
Banks
Meeks
Khai
Kerrensy
Jacob Hyllengren Larsson
The only people riding for them seem to be a handful of kids in the Wasatch and Shane Metos, all who are riding last year's skis. Is Evan Furbeyre still on??
2. They didn't even put out a lineup of skis this year:
Despite having a 2016-17 lineup catalog, no skis are for sale this year.
3. Mike Schneider's (the owner) insta has a picture of him riding on a pair of Black Diamonds.
I don't want to this to be the case as I earlier stated that I am a big fan of their skis.
If anyone affiliated with the brand could chime in that would be great!
