I've had two pairs of surface skis, my bindings ripped out of both of them. I've heard of people having the same problem, but other than that the skis were super fun (i had double times, most fun ski i've ever ridden) and had no problems. It seems like its kind of hit or miss for them in terms of durability, but their customer service is super legit too. They'll hook you up no problem if you have an issue.
