Haha it looks like someone has never ridden surfaces pow skis skis cause they are bomber. They have had problems with ninelifes, but that is there skinny ass park skis. I have rode these skis for the past two season really hard both touring and at resorts including a fair amount of park. I don't have a single edge crack and the only signs of wear are minimal top sheet chipping, so they are very different from what you have heard from these other people.
I use to own a pair, they were horrible. Surface skis are a joke, for what you pay, you could get something from quite a few other brands that will far out perform anything made by those shit heads in utah
