Skied my hellström pros last season for maybe 60 days lasted pretty good the whole season, but cant expect anything crazy from the skis if you ski alot of park. Had some rivets in the nose and epoxy fixes but other than that very fun and nice ski

The kids at my local say they're like Line/K2 level of durability. They just get em bcs they have the smaller sizes, and just get new ones at the beginning of the year.

FYI Surface produces their skis at the same factory as Vishnu. They also use 100% of the same materials.

I believe on surfaces insta q&a they mentioned something similar. I wouldn't put them in the line/k2 durability and definitely not on3p. My royales and uppers just have edge cracks underfoot. I'll be ripping the uppers again for a second season bought them used off a homie on ns that used them for a season, just topsheet chipping.

Let’s hope they got a bump in durability. met a guy who rides for them and he had some issues with the durability with the 2022 upper. wanting to buy a pair myself, but my skigarage is filling up and mainly my beater urbanski got to see snow last year.
