Snowboard maintanance?

Question

is there any maintanance for a board like waxing, i ve had this board for my second season i havent done anywork to it, just put a new set of bindings on

Answer 1

Yeah you should definately wax it every three or four times you ride. If you have any gouges in your board, melt some p-tex in there and smooth it out. Uhm, you can sharpen your edges every once in a while and detune(dull out) the metal on the nose and tail. Rub on wax is good too for a last minute slick ride.

Answer 2

Yeah I would reccomend getting your board waxed and getting the edges sharpened before you hit the slopes this year. Sometimes ski/boarding shops offer a "tune up" package and I would spring for that if you have the cash.

Answer 3

Not really much you can do to keep your board clean, other than to just clean it like you are doing.  I would say just spray it down with hot water when you finish with it after a couple runs.  Good Luck!

Answer 4

Yep, you should either buy a kit or it might be easier for you to take it to a store near you and get it waxed and sharpened! Without it being waxed and sharpened its harder to turn and do a lot of other things! Usually it isn't that much money! I highly recomend it! Good luck! Have fun out there! :)
