K2 vs Surface

[ASagaFanBoy12]

So with black friday and everything I have been looking at new skis. Even though the Surface blanks (which are what Im looking at) aren't on sale they just are already cheap, I also found 2015 K2 Domains on Evo for $269. I want a ski that will perform well all over the mountain but 90% of the time I'm in the park each run so also something durable. Im up for recommendations on other skis that might be better. Heres the links to both skis

i think the blank will do better all mountain and be pretty durable in the park

Do you want a camber ski with stiff flex or rockered ski with soft flex?

I've abused my K2 Presses (I think they were the 2013-14 model), and they've held up very well. Would recommend them to anyone.

I don't mind either way i mean a soft ski would be nice but if it has to be hard then thats fine too.

Are you going to hit big jumps with these skis?

Not necessarily I'm an intermediate park skier this year I'm just starting the progress to bigger urban rails and larger jumps but I'm not going to hit huge jumps. Probably nothing bigger then 25 ft

I would then go with domains. They are soft and playful, but you are still able to hit jumps with them.

I have a pair of domains there really soft and have ALOT of flex. Held up well no problems would recommend.

Thanks for the advice guys! it helped a lot K+

domains have a really shitty base, one of the slowest i've ever skied, for that reason alone i would never buy another set, shame really because otherwise they are a super fun ski...

I might either get the 2 and I would hit pretty big jumps and rails like 95 percent of the time and which one would be light enough to flip and spin, durable enough to take all of the pounding of the rails and big jumps constantly and the tip or tail, edges or any part of the ski will not beak. Something that is not to stiff but playful. But I can deal with it if it is stiff? So which one of the 2 do you think would be better?

The presses aren't stiff at all.

Blanks are definetly stiffer than domains

Shit I meant domains. And it's your choice man, they're both good skis.
