i just bought a used snowboard off CL.
it is a Salomon Ace. it is probably 3 years old..
it used but doens't look bad at all. if i look at the bottom of the board ther are some scratches and here and there are gouges...that looks as if the former irder ran over soething hard like rock..but they arne't deep.. but you can feel them.
one edge..has a smal section where the top layer looks like it is partially separating from the main section of the board.. the whole section is only about 1.5" long and it is way on the end of the board whrere the lip turns up.
i had read about people doing board tune ups - and figured it would be stuff like waxing the bottom and maybe sanding things...
does that make a huge difference in how a board will ride or very little? i am newbie..i bought the board and bindings for $60... i still need to buy boots..and if I can avoid paying money to wax it or tune it up.. or if I can do it myself cheap..that is my goal.
i am a total newbie..and i'd like to get the most "bang for the buck"..and if wxinb/tuning up the board by a shop will do next to nothing that a newbie woudl notice, i'll pass and not do it.
if, however, getting a tune up would make my board a lot better to ride, easie to turn on, etc..then maybe it's worth my time / money.
thanks.
the little section where the edge is comign up.. i almost wondered if I could just fix it myself with a small dab of expoxy? it's not down where the bindings are..or on an edge where I think it would matter..it's almost toward the end of the board..the part that as a newbie..i would think it doens't have as much impact on the ride??
maybe you think this damage is a problem? or it's no big deal. for $60 i figurred it was still a smokin deal and bought it and will deal with fixing it.. if I keep snowboarding another year and continue to love it, i'll upgrade and get something even nicer..but for starting out, and to save money on rentals, this was a good deal.
thanks.

how crucial is a board "tune up" for small damage?
