Tuning Tools & Wax

Keeping the edges of a snowboard or snow ski sharp and the base waxed is important for several reasons. Sharp edges provide better control and improved grip on the snow, while a waxed base reduces friction and allows the rider to go faster. Additionally, regular maintenance can enhance the durability of the board or ski, protecting it from damage and extending its lifespan.
