I demoed these last week in NZ. im 5'8" 145. they were sick skis. pretty stiff, but very flexy still, if you know what i mean. They will kill the park. good on jumps, very light for such a fat ski. real easy to throw around and real stable when going fast. they seemed like theyd break in good and get a little easier to butter after a while. surface live lifes 2 look similar to these
