 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hola todas
Im off to St Anton in January and want my board tip top and ready to go. It was waxed and had the edges done in Les Arcs last year and then I did two more weeks on it. Im sure I should have had something done to it but I havent!
Anyway we will be hitting the snow as soon as we arrive so a resort service is out the window. Does anyone know anywhere in London that I could take it?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

You garage?
Its really not rocket science.
If your not confident to do this yourself then get it done on the first night in the resort.
A two week old wax should be enough to get you through a day on the hill.
Think most seasonairs might get there board waxed once a month (if they have the cash).

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

If you can come over Staines/ashford way, I'd be happy to show you what to do and help you do them. In the meantime I suggest you take a look at www.skituning.co.uk

Nadenoodle, Where abouts is the block? You need minimal kit and about an hour to do it yourself to a far better state than the shop will. You can do it in your living room (OL you will need bin bags and a hoover!! Basic edge guide/files/wax/iron can be had for under £50, so 2 services and its paid for itself
Also means you can service them while you are away so they are always tuned and waxed
I have all the kit over near heathrow, can easily show you how to do it or do it for you. Better yet, go to Jon (Spyderjon) and learn from the best (I did)

SW6 - 47 Degrees on Fulham Road will do it. They do my skis and will take requests, e.g. I make them do the edges by hand to my spec.
I think they have a board-specific shop just on NKR, by Putney Bridge Tube.

FAQ
Thank you for the advice - I wanted it done before we go as I think it may have been a bit mistreated on the last trip (oops) and I really dont think I can do it myself. I might see if I can drop it in after the mooserwirt on Sunday and pick it up before lessons on monday 
- 'do it yourself' but I've neve gotten around to doing it
