The 5 basic steps for ski and board tuning
- Inspection
Top, base and edges are cleaned to remove dirt. Then the equipment is checked for damage. - Base repair
Any dings, scratches or holes are filled with coating material.
- Surface grinding
The base is pre-ground and finished by stone-grinding. This is the best way to apply the optimal structure to the base. This reduces suction and friction between the base and the snow and allows the equipment to glide better. - Edge grinding
Depending on the performance level you expect from your equipment, edges are ground to a negative angle between 0 and 3 degrees. You will enjoy optimal handling and performance on the slopes.
- Waxing
The last step in tuning is the application of hot wax. It coats the base, protects against damage and improves the gliding and turning abilities of your equipment.
A perfect ski and board tuning you will enjoy optimum safety and great pleasure!
