Snowboard Wax and Ideal Snowboard Tuning

Snowboarding, being an intense action sport, can result in your snowboard enduring significant wear and tear. Elements like gravel, sand, and hard ice can leave their mark as you glide down the slopes. When you crash, your board often bears the brunt as well. To minimise damage and prolong the lifespan of your snowboard, you might want to explore the products in this category, where you’ll discover various types of snowboard wax and additional snowboard equipment for this purpose.

Investing time and money in maintaining and tuning your snowboard is wise, particularly because a high-quality snowboard tends to be quite an expense.

The way you care for your snowboard is determined by your riding style. Initially, you should select wax that complements your style. The same principle applies to the angle of your snowboard's edges, where you want the edging tool's angle to match your riding preference. If you’re an aggressive carver, you should opt for 90 degrees, but if you’re into rail riding or worried about catching edges, consider angles between 87 - 88 degrees.

A Fresh Board May Also Require Snowboard Tuning

New snowboards are frequently crafted with 90-degree edges throughout, potentially leading to unpleasant catches on the nose and tail. Thus, it might be sensible to gently file the nose and tail to dull those sharp angles slightly. While you're at it, a waxing session for your new board could also be beneficial. After all, it won’t cause any harm.
