Waxing and grinding

Give your snowboard or skis the care they deserve with the Wax'n Board Pro service: After a year in the closet, your base will be dried out and your edges will show rust—not ideal for a top start to your season.

We repair, sharpen and hydrate your board for optimal glide and solid grip on ice. With the Pro total package we clean, nourish and wax everything to perfection. This way you are ready for every snow condition and you start the season with top material. Time to get the most out of your winter!

The snow keeps falling and that snowboard itch is back! After a few days on the slopes you notice that your skis are getting slower and turning turns are less smooth – the wax has worn off and those pesky (hidden in snow) stones have left burrs on your edges.

With our Basic maintenance we grind or polish your edges to carve effortlessly again. We also apply a new layer of top wax. So you glide smoothly and quickly over that perfect carpet of snow again!

Uh-oh! The day after tomorrow you're leaving for the Alps and now you suddenly realize that your skis still need maintenance? Don't panic, book our VIP service now!

We are your instant butler – come by and wait while we get your snowboard or skis in top shape. With precision we sharpen, tune and wax your equipment, including our secret topwax finish for effortless gliding over any terrain. Fast, but always with the highest quality, we get your gear ready for your next adventure!

Since day one, skiers of all levels have found their way to our small workshop. Our secret? Custom maintenance, tailored to your style – whether you’re a recreational, amateur or top athlete. From overhanging sharpening and custom angles to wax for icy backcountry adventures, we’ve got you covered.

Some of our custom programs:

• Onsite, BE: waxing and grinding at (sports) events
• Outside, DE|FR|AT|CH|IT : VIP holiday service waxing and sharpening
• Season service: applying storage wax to bridge the summer holidays
• Storage service: storing equipment during the off-season, incl. maintenance
• Starter wax: waxing brand new snowboards or skis, for a long life of new equipment
• Indoor wax: special wax treatment for those who go snowboarding or skiing indoors

At a mechanical cleaning we shave off a tiny layer of your base. This way we open the dirty pores, make your base perfectly smooth, remove small hairline cracks and bring your edges back into alignment. New snowboards and skis often develop a “base high” or “base low”, which affects water and snow drainage.

With this treatment we ensure optimal gliding and maximum control on the slopes!

After opening your base it is time to remove tar, sand and rubber residue from ski mats. At our VIP service we know that speed counts. That's why we clean your skis or snowboard with an efficient chemical treatment, which completely removes dirt and old wax.

This way your maintenance starts with a perfectly clean base!

With a Hot Scrape we use a special ski-friendly cleaning wax for a deeper cleaning. This traditional, labor-intensive technique from top sports is standard in our Pro service. We combine cleaning and nourishing by working in paraffin several times and then pulling it out of the base as hot wax. This removes all contamination and also provides a new base wax.

This provides the ultimate glide, ideal for both new and older snowboards or skis!

Small stones, pine cones and other debris lurk under the snow, especially at the beginning and end of the season. You're boarding nicely and soot! – a big burr on your edge. This means less grip and a slower board. We can't completely repair a dent in your edge, but we can remove the burr so that your edge gets a smooth, consistent shape again!

Snow and ice act like sandpaper on your skis, slowly dulling your edges. Sharpening is essential to regain grip on the slopes. Depending on your level and style, the sharpening angles vary from 90° to 87° – the sharper, the more technical the riding and the faster the edges become blunt again.

The standard angle is 89°, but we are happy to adapt this to your wishes!

The ultimate finish for your steel edges? Polishing! This removes micro fractures and provides a mirror-smooth surface micro finish, allowing you to gain speed effortlessly.

In addition, we subtly round off the contact points, so that you have less chance of snow-snatching when turning. The result? More stability, control and maximum fun on the slopes!

After such a five days on the slopes it's time to re-wax your skis or snowboard. Contact with rough terrain wears soft wax out of the pores and fills with dirt. The result? Less speed and that annoying feeling of stickiness on the track.

After the optional base wax we apply a ecological glide wax on. This is adjusted to the ambient temperature of your destination or we use a universal wax for different conditions.

For several years now, waxes with harmful chemicals have been banned because they are bad for our drinking water. That is why we work exclusively with fluorine-free, environmentally friendly wax!

Topwax is the ultimate finishing touch to our ski and snowboard care. With our secret formula we ensure a perfect finish, so that every snowflake is effortlessly removed.

This extra layer of wax not only improves your glide ability, but also makes the wax more durable. With normal recreational use, your maintenance will be minimal five days on the slopes. Manual waxing is not only better, it also lasts longer!

Tip! Indoor skiing or indoor snowboarding is not so kind to your equipment. The man-made snow is actually rough ice where 1 hour of skiing is equivalent to 2 to 3 days of outdoor skiing.

Infrared waxing is the latest technology for optimal maintenance. Thanks to a constant, higher temperature, the wax is absorbed deeper and more even in your base, which ensures a long-lasting effect.

The result? More wax, more glide and more bang for your buck. In our Pro service we perfect the wax layer with an infrared heat treatment. This leaves minimal excess wax, which we expertly scrape and brush away.

This is your snowboard or ski ready for top performance on the slopes!

After a basegrind, where we remove a thin layer of your base to open the pores, we carefully brush away the dirt. We always do this in the sliding direction, so that no dirt remains in the pores.

For a thorough cleaning we use a copper or even steel brush for heavy soiling. These brushes not only clean deeply, but also discharge your base, removing built-up static electricity and allowing your snowboard or skis to glide smoothly again.

After applying the wax layer, we carefully scrape off the excess wax. The right amount of wax must be evenly distributed over the entire length for an optimal glide.

Because a single scraping motion can never cover the entire length, we brush your base with a nylon brushThis ensures a smooth, even finish. Depending on the wax used, we choose a soft or hard nylon brush, which we always use in one direction for the best result.

For the ultimate finish we use a horsehair brush, a natural product with a unique structure and perfect hardness that you don't find in nylon brushes. This is also known as the race finish. You'd be amazed how much excess wax we remove with this and how smooth and fast your snowboard or skis will be after this last step.

Because this finish requires a lot of precision and time, it is exclusively included in the Pro service from Wax'n Board.
