How much ski do you need under foot?

I've been looking at the Surface No Times. They're a great ski from what I've heard, but I am worried that they are too thin. The dimensions are around 110 in the tip and tail and exactly 76 underfoot. Will I be able to land bigger jumps and such with such a little amount of ski underfoot? Thanks.
 
Ill answer, yes they should hold up fine on those jumps. But if you are used to a ski with a bigger underfoot, there will be miniscule adjustments to be made. You should be able to dial into them in a day or two, but once you start hitting jumps that are 45 ft+, youll need something a bit beefier underfoot.
 
^not necessarily. look at aerials skis, those are usually 65 underfoot, and those guys are goin a bit bigger than 45 ft. It's all about the skier. If you are tentative on landings, a wider ski will definately help, but for true stomps I'd say go skinnier. Just my opinion though.
 
I've had em, they are sick on rails but not as great as some other skis i've skied. But you should get them if your more of a rail skier.
 
This. You'll be fine. I race ski cross on 70mm world cup GS skis and I've sent it up to about 120 feet on those things.
