I've skated on those. They're actually really good considering they're a fake alternative.
I'm experienced with curling "up north". The telfon "ice" would definitely not work for curling. The whole principle behind curling is pebbled ice that needs to be created in a special pattern using a skilled person and spraying implements. During play, the curling brooms slightly melt and smooth out the ice pebbling in front on each rock while the rock is in motion to make it go faster or curl less or more.
