I might buy from Surface, but i dont know much about them. I just want to know if they are legit, and how good and durable their skis are. I want my next pair to last a really long time. Also, which companies do you guys think have the skis that will last the longest. And anyone who has ridden watch lifes, will they make a good all-mtn ski for an east coaster who is 5'6" 105 lbs? thanks

search, there is tons on Surface and WLs

But bottom line is they are good.  Skis last a while and are above average performance.  My new LL2s came with one ski a bit off(less tip rocker than there should have been, sidewall/edge not together right for a few inches at the tip) and they said they look through skis before sending them out for these and must have missed this pair.  They said ski them and if there is a problem they will replace it.  Quick responses, too.

I' about the same hight and wiegt as you and i have watch lifes. Im pretty confident you wont find a better ski to match what your looking for. Surface is actually as legit as they come, if you search bar then any thread you find about their warantees or customer service has a happy ending.
the skis altough i haven't had them long also seem pretty much bomb proof, they'll last you a while for sure.

scope the new site www.surfaceskis.com  the nine life is the new park ski and the watch life has gotten bigger/ slightly stiffer!  Surface is as legit as it gets super good guys out of UT 100% of their skis come from rider input so you know they will be fin! and the durability is definately there!

im going to be riding the new life and watch life next year

but they could be way fun in the park..

well at 100 for a kids ski i would say more pow oriented, btu im sure they would rip in the park too. i have delt with the surface guys and they are super legit, not to worry.

We just posted some photos of the Next Life on the SURFACE BLOG

It comes in 145 & 160 lengths. I think it will be an super fun ski in the park for the skiers that are wanting and willing to ski something different and a little fatter.

Thanks guys!
