Snowboard Sharpening Kits: A must for maximum grip on the slopes
If you're an avid snowboarder you know better than anyone that a well-sharpened steel edge is a must for good grip. A good snowboard sharpening kit should therefore not be missing from your gear. A well-sharpened snowboard provides more grip and better glide. In our collection of snowboard maintenance materials you will find several complete sharpening kits from brands such as Oneball, and Holmenkol, containing everything needed to optimally prepare the steel edge of your snowboard.
Sharpening kit to sharpen your snowboard or skis yourself
Most winter sports enthusiasts have their skis or snowboard sharpened once a year. Is that enough maintenance for your skis or snowboard? That depends on various factors. For example, how long are you going on holiday, and what conditions will you encounter? If you own a snowboard sharpening kit you can sharpen your steel edge at any time. When the slopes are icy, the steel edge of your snowboard or skis will become duller or more rounded faster than when there is lots of fresh snow. After two or three days of boarding on icy slopes you'll notice you've lost a lot of grip. If you brought a sharpening kit on your trip you can get the steel edge super sharp again, which increases grip and enjoyment for the rest of the week.
Snowboard sharpening kit to sharpen your snowboard yourself
If you always expect or demand good grip, regularly sharpening the steel edges is a must. We therefore offer complete sharpening kits that include all the necessary items to sharpen the steel edge of your skis or snowboard so you always experience perfect grip. We often get the question: How often should you sharpen? That depends on the conditions in which you ski or snowboard. When the slope is quite hard it's logical that the steel edge will become duller and less sharp faster. Is there little snow and are stones visible? Then you'll quickly get burrs on the steel edge. With an oxide stone you remove the burrs, after which you polish the steel edge again with a diamond file.
