Thread: Snowboard sharpening

D00d, surf-boards don't have edges! You just need a wider snowboard than mine, which won't be too difficult to fine.

I bet Lynn could give one an edge!!! so there

Lynn may be able to push the limits of physics, but nobody can fight it. The bottom line is that the wood/composites of a surfboard do not have the right molecular density to take a real shaving edge. However I'm pretty sure Randy Tuttle can make it shave better than a Zeepk

Skiing is soo much less of a leanring curve then snowboarding I found. But that might be becuase I learned how to waterskii when I was younger.. No that I do wakeboard at my cottage behind my seadoo, I think my snowboard might have to come out of retirement and see the slopes again thsi winter.

Hey all your Southern Ontario Boys, Maybe we should hook up a ski weekend somewhere...

I'd be game for Hockley, as it's close to Toronto, has some decent trails and the prices are reasonable. On top of that it's full of talent. Too bad my skills aren't good enough to impress just yet lol.

If you're going to get an edge sharpener, get the one thats on an 88 degree instead of the 90 degree. It allows you to hold an edge better on Ontario hardpack (read: ice).

Thanks Loc. I was actually in your parts this weekend. Just got back to Toronto. Yeah I really wish I could learn on a softer falling surface. Definitely getting a helmet for next season. Now I'm considering springing for the full gear now that I know that I can actually stay on the board and actually like it.

Does anyone know if spraying some WD40 over the top of the board will keep the snow from sticking? It works for snow shovels.
