I know virtually nothing about them, did some searches on em, not much out there.  Watch life's seem cool, but what's the overall consensus on them.  Basically give me opinions, firsthand experiences, and hear-says about them

if you need a one ski quiver for east coast you cant go wrong with watchlifes. great pop semi soft flex but still able to charge and super light.  people have thrown up some good reviews on the 07/08 one you cant go wrong with surface.

surface skis are pretty sick but not made that well. my friends broke after buying them 3 months earlier. he got a new pair but those lasted one weekend as well.

they seem to have a lot of binding rip-outs...

stowebum has a lot of eperience with them and im sure hell comment on em, but it seems that everyone who skis em, loves em.

I am 29 5'7" 145 pounds and I just got the live life and it is a hard charging stiff ski that makes for a great all around ski for colorado, the construction seems very solid and they charge crud, groomers, pipe etc, I have not had a pow day on them yet, although I will find it tough to take them out on a big dump day as my ep pros are so nice in the pow. The surface Live Life is an amazingly fun ski, if you get the chance to ski some take it. they get a 10 from me.

Go to www.surfaceskis.com and click on "Film" at the top. Turn your speakers up and pause the music on the bottom right of the main page. Click on the picture of the dude second from the right with the yellow bandana over his face. Watch film 2.

By the way, Surface is dope.

i think hes just stating the tight pants stereotype that is associated with surface

and its true, alot of people with surfaces wear tight pants...but there are alot the dont as well

bottom line: solid skis. buy 'em

It's true, Bish can't wear anything unless it's a minimum of XXL.

My 06/07s didn't treat me well.  Multiple rip outs + top sheet chippage.  My new 07/08s are super nice though.  No chips, no signs of rip outs and they ski great.

I know, once i saw what it looked like on a person (when bishop went to sweden, i think it was, i needed that suit) now i own it, so thanks to bishop.  Then i remembered he had a set of skis i thought looked cool and here I am now wondering how they ride, i'm considering them or anthems as of now, hoping for a price drop for summer and gettn em set up for next year.  Diggin the width like em more than the anthems since they come in more length as i'm 6ft 225lbs, thanks for the replies.  And yes..... Bish has got steez

I ride live lifes and they are solid. I'm guessing you dont care about their performance since you are looking at the watch lifes, but the quality is good.
