Waxing!


Well, I finally got my snowboard fixed. I was advised by my wife and the dude at the Sled Shed to take it in because of the damage to the edge. I had somehow managed to make a beautiful smash on my toe edge (maybe I was going down backwards) but I didn't want it to get worse. Thankfully I have some stuff to fix the other nicks on the top, so hopefully it'll be all sealed up eventually.SO, after finally getting it back, I was able to continue on my waxing spree.
Pretty much this was my third time doing it.
      My first try on Savanna's snowboard turned out...ok. (it was my first try, what do you expect) Thankfully when I did her skiis they came out a TON better. Profesh if you will. So I decided it was time to see how beautiful I could get my board to look.

And my snowboard came out pretty fine too. A lot harder than skiis, bigger and a lot more wax to be dealing with, but it came out ok. I tried to fill in some of the gouges too, and it worked great, but the little glue sticks that you use sometimes burn black, and me not being highly skilled, got some of the black in the glue, which is now hard and under the wax. So if you see those little brown lines, its where I used to have scratches.

It did make a lot of difference though! So I can't complain. It gave me something to do, it was free labor, and now it's ready to go!
