Good idea

Clamp in between cardboard maybe or cloth to protect surface?

Might try on mine.

Hi mate,

These are battle scars Keep it like it is. I wouldn't bother messing with them, maybe just smooth it down a little to stop further snagging and for aesthetics, but dont go doing anything more

My board has far worse and has 3 weeks of boarding, cliffs, boulders, knocks in lift queues, trees, you will have far worse in the future. It's a sign your out there giving it some!

You only need to get a service if you need your base waxing, your edges are chaffed and ragged or your base is gouged and you need a bit of ptex. You just have a few chips in the top of the board, thats all

Its always a sad moment when your new shiny thing gets a few dinks, but then scars are stories to be told in the future, remember that too and smile!

So get out there and yipeekiyay!

First day out with my new shiny board, and I got run over by another snowboarder. Sliced through my trousers (fortunately covering my boot, not my leg) and made a right mess of the top of my board. The scratches I don't really care about, but there are a couple of gouges at the edges that look as if they might start to peel away. Should I just file them down, should I take the board in for a repair, or am I just worrying about nothing?
