Yep! I'm on my third pair of that design of the SFB. It's gonna be a sad day when I have to retire them.

I think it is mostly nostalgia but the original scratch. They were my first twin tip and so much fun.

I am reviving this thread because surface skis is back in business. The outsider has to be one of my favorite skis I have ever stepped foot on. The three stage rocker makes for a fun ski that can handle the park and blast through crud. They have their limitations though. They suck on jumps and if its icy you might as well go home. They arent my favorite skis because of their versatility or usefulness. In fact they are the opposite of those words. But in the right conditions, I have never had more fun on a ski. If you know someone who has them, take a few runs through the park on a spring day and youll know exactly what I mean.

Majesty Lumberjacks. Best pow ski I have ever been on. So much fun, perfect softer flex. I could ski them every day.

As for a park ski, I skied Vishnu Wets for a season and they were rediculous. HG stingers would be my second best

Volkl ledge's were fun, light and soft although extruded bases sucked and edge durability was weak, still the finest to ride out of what I've owned

Rossignol Scratch FS 2004. It took 11 years to tear the binding off the ski. They felt really nice in the air. I do miss them

My 2014 volkl walls were good to me, progressed a lot on them. My Atomic Punx' were great too. Gotta love symmetrical park skis.

In all honesty I’d have to say my Armada arv106 is hands down my favorite ski I’ve ever owned. The flex pattern is fantastic. It handles everything from urban to deep pow and everything in between so well!! I’m planning on getting a second pair for when my first pair finally die! Best 1 quiver ski out there in my opinion.

Seth Pistols. I think I may have about 500 days on them. They refuse to die and I refuse to let them (despite now having rocker, rotten core, edge bow-outs, etc).

Line TCs, had two pairs and they've both lasted me a full season, even while hitting some urban. Definitely a fun ski to play around on rails, and it was really affordable

Arv 96s, durability didn’t prove we’ll but I got another pair because they were so good. the previous years thall was really good too.

that said I’ve ridden Armada for the last 7 years, and Elans as a kid, little variety.

ON3P K108's fit my style of skiing perfectly. Very enjoyable ride in almost every condition. Can't beat the older models of the salomon rocker 122's in waist deep stuff though shitttt they feel good.
