Thread: Snowboard sharpening

I refuse to take that board anywhere near someone who knows what he's doing.. What I do with it is embarassing enough lol. Actually it sat unused for a couple of years and when I decided to try learning again, there was some rust on the edge that probably wasn't sharp enough to begin with. My logic was the same... If I can get a rusty pitted wedge to shave, I can get a board sharp enough to prevent a spill or two.

Never used a board, but I maintained my own skis for years. I bought a special little file mounted in a hand-held jig that would keep the file at the correct 90 degree angle for the edge. The same thing would work for boards. I'm sure that they still make such things. (I used to be a 'certified ski technician', btw).

So it has to be perpendicular to the board and moving along the edge or some sort of an X-pattern?
