jesus kid, you couldn't have picked two more different skis.

one life- camber underfoot, 3 stage rocker, 110 underfoot, stiff/light as fuck

chopstick-rocker throughout, 130+ underfoot, noodly as balls and heavy. probably too heavy for you TBH.

The one lifes are really sick skis. Fun in all conditions. Mine broke so I'm on the New Life right now and like it even more. I've heard good things about the Chopsticks too. I wouldn't call the Chopsticks noodles by any means though.

Ummm, no.

OP if you're looking at Surface, maybe look at the New Life instead. Much more similar to the chopsticks. Or if you want a Volkl ski that's similar to the One Life, look at some Gotamas.

the sticks and 1lifes are symmetrical so they kill it switch, the lives are lighter. the sticks have a reverse camber shape

No, you fail. They are one of the stiffest superfat skis out their with no metal. Plus, they are Volkl. Volkl does not make soft skis.

One life is THE one ski quiver. It slays the whole mountain.
