phillipsbro2 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 HELP!: looking for a board cosmetic surgeon in cny or new england? pics attached this time! hi fellow carvers, - looking for recommendations in central new york or new england - a repair shop or person. first - the story: i f***ed up my pure carve board (wrenched the tip). trying to slow down through a tight spot - locked into a turn - straight into some moguls - NO CHANCE, DOWWWWWN! surprisingly no injury (to me) and NO COMMENT from the peanut gallery (chair-lift) RIGHT above me!!!! some of you will NOT be surprised though when i tell you this happened at holimont - they just don't DO that there - impressive! this was the weekend joerg ('the machine') came to visit... anyways - i got to the bottom - 'doc buck' commented - "what happened to your board?" well the tip flexed so much on impact that the metal edge sprung out from the starting point at the tip about 3-4 inches. the top sheet is bent back a bit as well. i do not think (amazingly) the tip/core split or cracked. there is no visual evidence of this and the flex is still strong and silent. thank you pure carve for a solid board! i need to find a shop - or person - in cny or boston area that has the expertise to fix something like this. i don't trust doing it myself. anyone know of such person or shop?? if i do not find anyone - i will ask donek, coiler, prior if they would take on this repair job... thanks for your time - your help is MUCH appreciated! post reply or email or call, - ---- christian ("ms. february" in donek 2009 calendar). 617.990.4587 superlight743@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdifan_2003 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hei bud, By no means I am a board doc (just a kid doc ;), but go to Tognar website and there is a lot of info about board reapirs. Just a start maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bordy Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 It can be fixed but is it worth it?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Yup, Mavericks are things of beauty and probably were ahead of their time, back then... I've got one myself, the woody one. I worked hard to find one, wanted to check what the hype was all about and to have it (woody) as the show piece. It is kinda fun as AM board and in softer snow, but I have at least 10 boards that perform better... Even Rossi's of that era, that Maverick was shaped after, have more hi-tech stuff inside. Fix the board yourself, so it doesn't look ugly and to the wall with her. There are couple of great boards in the classifieds in the 300 or less price range, that would outride the good old Mav.

GeoffV Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Get in touch with Mike DeSantis at SkiMD he might be able to prolong the death of your Mav for half a season if your lucky. Shop is in Framingham, MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I agree with the others fixable but I just don't see the point even a volkl RT or 02 proton are better boards and I don't even like either of those. for 150 to $200 you could find something used that's better, for 300-400 you could find something used that would rock your world. a Prior or coiler metal board for example.
