Thanks. We have 3-4 new sweatshirts in the works now. Should be done in a week or so along with some knit beanies and a wool 5-panel cap.
 
got a pair of double times for $100 even though i didnt need skis at the time it was too good of a deal to pass up on. still trying to find a 3rd pair of bindings to throw on them though but im stoked to ski them
 
My bud is getting into freestyle skiing so I have convinced him to get the blanks as they are a quality, inexpensive ski. You guys are awesome!
 
Thanks. The Blanks Program is definitely something we want to grow. Its a great little ski for that price-point for sure.
 
I skied with Khai for a couple of runs at Brighton last spring...dude slays, too underrated...in fact your entire team is too underrated.

I'm glad to see you guys really working on making a more durable park ski while still managing to keep it light and fun, the difference between the Nine Lives and this years No Times is amazing. Keep up the great work.
 
Khai is pretty amazing for sure... we have a pretty rad team. We like them all.

Definitely working hard at stepping up the park skis in our line. The Double Time has been bomber the last two seasons and we haven't seen too many of them come back.

Thanks huge for the kind words man.
 
Oh man.. not really!! Back in 2004 when we decided to launch the brand we were kicking around all kinds of brand names and Surface just felt right so we went with it and now we're stuck with it ha!

But no... there's no real meaning or anything behind it.
 
My own interest here...

My friend has a pair of new lifes. The angled rocker trips me out. Why did you guys decide to go with the straight up bend rocker profile that just shoots up instead of a more elliptical profile? Have to wonder what the press for that ski looks like... \_/ ?
 
I just bought some new lifes off of you guys for super cheap, and they are some of the sickest skis ever. They don't even compare to bents. Oh, will you guys please tell mike to get back to me about getting his one times, I can't help but go back for seconds!
 
Good question.

The rocker profile is definitely strange but it really works well. The 3 Stage Rocker was our first attempt at a rocker pow ski and basically, we were just trying some crazy shapes and decided to pull the trigger and go for it. It was a blast to shred. Since then we've added some mellower rocker skis to our line like the Live Life shape.

That 3SR not only kills it in pow but is a beast and monster trucks through heavy cut up crappy snow too.

 
Right on man.. glad to hear you dig your New Life's... this winter will be fun on those things. I will pass the message onto Mike for sure!
 
I wanted to say thank you on behalf of me and pretty much my whole crew..... You hooked us up big time with those end of year deals.

It's such a shame people have defamed you guys.... they have no reason to hate.
 
Are you guys doing any Anthony B collab skis this year? I always though his graphics were the sickest, I have the 10/11 new lifes with his topsheets and I get compliments on them daily.
 
Are your soft goods going to be ready for purchase in a week, or just into you guys in a week
 
Yes. Same shape but we've added carbon bands tip to tail, added camber, stiffened them up, added a much more durable top sheet and placed a rubber stomp pad underfoot to help with hard impact on big jumps and flat urban landings. All for $249.95
 
I love my double times. And I'm stocked my girlfriend will get to ski her my life's for the first time this weekend. Props to you guys!
 
So i had a pair of watch lifes that snapped right where the 3 stage rocker starts in your other skis, making it look like one of your normal rockered skis haha. Not complaining or anything I've done enough of that, My question is have you had a lot of your skis behave similarly? It did not just seem like it snapped because I was riding it too hard or anything I had only had the skis for about 10 days.
 
To be honest I don't recall seeing a single Watch Life come back for warranty during the entire 11/12 season. So no, other than the old No Times and Nine Life's from previous years, we haven't seen many skis break like that unless it was a super gnarly crash where any ski would have snapped. Send me a private message and I can see what we can do.
 
Sick Idea! I saw a guy rocking One Life's in the park all day and I've been curious of how well they handle in the park and on groomers?
 
deciding between new lifes and lab 001's for my pow/after the pows gone rest of the mountain/park ski. im not too worried about the lab's deep dish rocker on groomers, but what about park? rails and stuff seem like it might be sketchy, and i have to consider park skiing because lapping the park on a pow day for an hour or two after everythings skiied off is sooo fun.

also, anywhere in colorado that i could demo both? or utah, im heading out there in a month
 
Yessir - we are selling Blanks individually right now actually. We haven't listed them on our website as singles but if you break one just give us a call and we have a supply of singles.
 
You know.. the One Life's are an interesting ski. Definitely not for everyone... but for those looking for a different feeling ski. A handful of guys (FORSTER MEEKS!!) rocks them in the park almost exclusively. He crushes it on them....

They are decent on groomers... definitely not a carving skis but they hold their own on the hard pack.
 
Tough choice for sure... a bunch of us have been skiing the LAB 001's all over Brighton and Alta this season and they actually rip on the hard pack. Even more than we expected. I honestly couldn't say how they'd do in the park... we haven't had any of our team guys take them in the park.

Holler at us when you come to Utah. We have a little shop near the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon.. we have demos there all the time.
 
Right now we don't have anything planned but I am sure we will put together something. Where's your home mountain?
 
We just finished up shooting at Brighton last week for a little edit for the ONE TIME ski.. we are editing it now and it should be done in about a week.

 
what would you recommend for a surface ski that can be one quiver shredding the trees in the morning then hitting the park after lunch just all over great time for the east coast
