    Why Wax your skis or board?

    When wax is applied properly to a ski or board base, the gliding distance is greatly increased, and overall control improves for a more stable ride. 

    When a base slides over snow, slight friction is created thus generating a very thin layer of water which effectively allows for the ski to slide and gain momentum. 

    In a nutshell, ski wax improves the efficency of this melting of snow, making your skis faster, while adding a layer of protection from the harsher crystals and possible contaminants. 
    Why Sharpen your edges?

    Keeping your edges sharp and at the proper angles is vital for controlling speed, parallel turning and stopping.

    You'll know your gear needs a sharpen when you find your 'slipping out' on the hard or icey terrain. 

    At our shop, we have special machines that grind away the inconsistencies along the edge, and polish them smooth. You'll feel the difference from dull edges nearly straight away!

    Frequently Asked Questions - Ski and Snowboard Tuning

    How long do these services take?

    Wax & Sharpening: Preferably leave it with us overnight for completion. Sometimes we can complete the job within 15 mins in-store

    Full tune, bootfitting & repair jobs: Unless we are quiet, we need your gear overnight to complete the job

    How will I know the wait time?
    Give us a ring on 027 39 33 099 and we will let you know the wait - if any.

    How often should I service my gear?
    The real junkies get their gear tuned (usually waxed up) every session, but for the casual shredders we recommend the following:
    AT LEAST ONCE A SEASON!
    Wax: 4-5 full days minimum
    Sharpening: 7 full days
    Full tune: 2 times a season, or when your bases need repair. 

    My gear is very old. Is it worth paying to get fixed?
    We recommend bringing it in for us to have a look at, however often old gear can contain perished parts - especially the bindings - that even if we bring it back up to spec, it could be dangerous to use, or deteriorate fast.
