Compare two models
How they compare
Both target powder terrain, while the Surface Balance leans more freeride. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. Both feature flat_rocker profiles — lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel. At $69.95 vs $159 MSRP, the Surface Balance is the more budget-friendly option.
