Revision #1 (Last edited: 16/04/2010 @ 11:43) |
I'm a newbie snowboarder and was given a board by a friend to use next Friday (23/04/10  ) for my all day lesson at Tamworth Snowdome. The problem is the board needs servicing and has a chunk of wax out of the base and a small nick to the base
I've contact a few places and listed the results below, I'm hoping someone out there has a better solution? this info was gathered from phoning individual stores.
Boardwise (Cannock) - £30 Full Service, Done on site 2 day turn around. Con 80 Mile round Trip.
Snow & Rock (Birmingham City Centre - £30 Full Service, Repairs extra, 2 Week turn around.
Two Seasons (Solihull) - £30 Full Service, Sent to Head Office, Min 2 week turn around.
The Snowboard Asylum (Tamworth Snowdome) £30 Full Service, 2 week turn around.
Thats all I can find so far if anybody has any other places they can recommend please leave the details here. |

thats a liquid you rub on the base for extra speed it wont repair wax holes. As soon a you rub it on it evaporates leaving a thin clear film over the wax.
Marks on the wax or even bits missing wont have any effect on how it rides, you wont even notice its there. |

The bit im worried about is where the wax has been taken down to the base and there's about 1/2" scrape of paint missing, i dont want to use the board for the day and the moisture get in to the damaged base and write the board off after 1 day. |

as long as you dry it afterwards then it'l be fine, i really wouldnt be so paranoid about it. If you leave a damaged board wet for ages then yes it can do damage but a couple of hours isnt going to kill it as long as its dried properly afterward. |
