Hello Snowheads,
Would anyone know where I would find a pretty good snowbaord shop near Bournemouth, Dorset, who do servicing etc? I think there may be one on the way to Poole but I dont know what its called or anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

mobsta007, not sure I'd trust any of the local shops to service my kit, however I did hear a rumour that there might be a chap at Christchurch dry ski slope who can do a reasonable job, I'd suggest giving them a call

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Hey D G Orf,
I was also thinking about that, whether I would like anyone here doing the job, guess they dont get that much practice, but just got a email from Banff Canada sayng that they do it for £25 for full service - "full tune which is base filling,edge sharpening , base grind with stone finish then wax is $ 50 "
Seems fair enough, am leaving for Banff on Tuesday 12th Dec, cant wait.
Thanks for your reply.

mobsta007, seems a fair price and I'd sugest they probably have more experience and will wax to suit local conditions

Living in sunny Bournemouth at the moment as well mobsta007, think the guys at Christchurch do a decent job and are easy going when I've spoken to them and really into their sport, which is always good. There is a board shop in on Commerical Road I think, as you come out of Poole Town Centre into Ashley Cross, pretty much opposite of the Gate of India restaurant... can't remember what it's called now.... was only in there a few weeks back! Not sure if they do servicing etc, even if they don't they'll be able to tell you someone who can. Hope this helps!
(Might even learn to board this season!)
Damn boarders!

There is also a board shop just off Westover road as you head out of Bournemouth Triangle it is on one of the up roads on the left. Again I don't know much about it. Let your fingers do the walking:-
SnowTogs
6, St. Michaels Rd, Bournemouth, Dorset BH2 5DX
http://www.skishops.co.uk/
The place Cee is talking about is Ride Cylcleworks, they are just opposite Station Road in Parkstone.

There is also www.filarinski.co.uk over in Havant and they have a service facility at Southampton (Bassett) Dry Slope.

By FAR the best place in the bournemouth area is Big Dreams in Wareham. They do a great service at a pretty good price, I think I paid 20-25 quid for a grind, fill, edge and wax after trashing my board last december in Tignes!

The place in Ashley Cross is a shop called Ride Snow. They are Dorsets main Burton, AK and Anolog dealers.
Big Dreams in Wareham deal mainly in Nitro, Rome and Solomon gear.
I have a few baords and the best place to get them serviced, by a looong way, is Snow Trax (the Ski centre at Hurn).
Shout if need any more info.

There is also Surface2Air sports just across the road. I was in there on Sunday, they stock mainly K2 and vans stuff. Unfortunately Ride Snow was closed, so i never got to check it out.

Uber Slacker, Mazz, Welcome to snowHeads
Mazz to get a good choice you may have to go over to Havant www.filarinskis.co.uk 10% off at the mo. but while over there you could also have a look at Snow and Rock Portsmouth.

Mazz,
Surface2air sports in Ashly Cross defo sell K2 stuff. They look a tad pricey, but you can at least go and see the boards in the flesh.

...I'd also take a trip to Snowtrax, I spent a good 2 hours in there the other week trying on boots, they were very helpful even though they knew I wasn't buying on that visit.

Anyone near Lymington can have a look at this outlet shop
http://www.e-depot.co.uk/
All old stuff from previous seasons - but they do have quite a lot of decent clothing.
If you do see something on their site make sure you give them a ring before you go to make sure they have it in the shop - not the warehouse.

What a great service i used jibtuning and my board came back as good as new without any hassle!!They picked it up and dropped it off for £25 which i thought was a great price, i also bought some wax from the website which was cheaper than i could find anywhere else and also arrived promptly.

Looks like rather than provide you with a great service, jibtuning appear to have ripped you off. They say that they collect and deliver for free within 10 miles and the fact that your ip addresses are identical would suggest that you are much closer than 10 miles.
I would demand they refund you that £25.

That £25 that you took off snowman156 when he was within the 10 mile zone - was it to buy some socks?

Ray Zorro,
I think what snowman meant to say was for the full service + free delivery and collection for £25 is a good price.... we would not have charged them for this.

Yes, I guess you are in a rather unique position to know exactly what snowman meant to say.
Now, about those socks...

If he charged him the £25 then whilst not being in a unique position he's probably got a good idea what he was charging for.
Also if you look on their website the cost of a full service is indeed £25.
So, without being in any position to know exactly whatsnowman156 meant, I'd put money on him having paid £25 for a full service with free collect and return and that he's just typed his post poorly.

Angelo - you've just revived a 3 year old thread simply to promote your business.
Lots of Snowheads have ski and/or snowboard-related businesses, but they would not dream of behaving in this way. I'm sure you have lots of good info to contribute to the forums, and that is the best way to build a reputation. Then once people trust that you know what you are talking about they will naturally come to you. Just put something in your signature, as already suggested, and people will know how to find you.
