Do you repair any damage done to your skis/boards? And if so, where do you get it done?

Mine seems to have picked up quite a few knocks this year and I'm not sure what to do about it.

[Toque]

It really depends on how bad
Anything that would affect the ride should be fixed. Other than that I usually just ignore them

[oblivion]

Not sure if it affecting the ride actually, I can't feel anything much different. Spose that means I can ignore it.

post a picture on here and we can tell you whether it is worth a fixing or not.

too bad telleboy left - he could fix anything. Even Davos gutted board.

[Fattwins]

yeah but it died you can hear it crack if you flex that. Tellyboy was pretty damn good though props to the guy. I have yet to find a guy as good at tuning who had no $100000 machines to buff the ski back to new. I wish he was still here to buff up my deep powders.

I have a similar situation, I'll try and get a pic for the SJ Advice Boys to get on the case

you bang em up in the rocks recently FF?

[Fattwins]

James took over a ridge traversing and got a loong scar, I can fix it but telly could fix like new. For me it takes 2 hrs to get that baby back to new. He could do it in less than an hour and make oh so fast and smooth.

too bad. How deep? Is it pretty superficial or nasty like Tae?

[Fattwins]

nothing petex and time cant fix. about 20cms and 3mms to 4mms deep, but not a core shot.

[BagOfCrisps]

Where do you get things like this fixed over there?

[Fattwins]

do most by myself but i know a good dealer in kyoto who does a great job too.

tellyboy was the man before he left.
