Moving from the nose down to the tail, run the gummy stone along the base and side edges to polish them. Before you actually tune the rail, you’re going to want to remove these blemishes with a gummy stone. Lightly run your hand down the upturned edge, feeling for any notches or burrs and looking for rust patches. To get started, set your board on its side with the base turned away from you. DING REPAIR (BASE)īevel just the side edge a degree or two (88-89°)īevel just the base edge a degree or two (88-89°)īoard is difficult to turn, not enough bite in snowīevel both base and side edges the same amount (keeps 90° intersecting angle) This generally takes 15 minutes, after which the cleaner will have evaporated, leaving your board ready to be waxed after one more quick wipe-down with a dry cloth. Once you’ve covered the whole bottom surface, leave the cleaner to do its job - removing the wax, grime and build-up on your base. You can either soak a rag in the cleaner or spray it directly on the board and rub it in gently. Next, apply a snowboard base cleaner to the entirety of the base.
This is a good time to give your board a once-over, looking for any nicks or scratches in the base material or along the edges. Make long, straight strokes from end to end until the base is clear of surface filth.
First, use a dry rag to sweep any dirt or dust from the bottom of your board. Set up an area to work in, with decent ventilation and room to lay out your board, base side up (garages and backyards tend to do the trick). You should clean the base every few times you ride, and every time you wax. One Ball Jay X-Wax Snowboard Wax cold $16.95
