Surface New Life

For those epic, bottomless pow days we all dream of, my tool of choice would be a pair of center-mounted Surface New Lifes. With a fully symmetrical shape, the New life charges the same either forward or fakie. The ski is flat underfoot with a dual-stage rise in the tip and tail, which creates a three-stage rocker profile that is just dreamy. The New life sports a full poplar core and they are stiff, which makes this flat/rocker hybrid a blast—the closest thing to surfing on a mountain. - Nick Southard
