Surf Quebec Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I've start tuning my board, quite therapeutic as Scott says on alpinecarving.com My 2 older sons switch from ski to snowboard (soft boots) this year . I'm sure that for the hot waxing part, there is no difference between hard and soft setup. I was wandering about the edge tuning part, I go for 2 degree on my edge. Is it a good thing for soft boots ? For soft boots do you detune at the tip and tail ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I'd see what the manufacturer has them set at to start out with and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If things hook here and there, I feel it's just a little lazy technique. I started altering my edge angles in place of detuning and it's worked fine for me. Where you'd detune, just add +1 or +2deg of bevel to the base, but still keep it sharp. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paragonUE Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 theres six more parts, very comprehensive. hope it helps P.S. i know your kids probably wont be hitting the park much this season. But softboot riders gennerally keep their edges at a relatively steeper bevel from what a hardbooter would be used to, because a uber sharp, carve specific edge would catch on rails.
