Product Information

This one has a bit of a different build than some of the other standard snowboard tools you’ll find. It has an entire compact handle that lets you get a good grip before you start to tighten things down. You’ll be able to make sure everything stays safe, secure, and in place.

Whereas an advanced free rider will want a stiffer, directional board. Use the iron to remove any dirt or grit that makes its way onto your board, then use the scraper to remove excess old wax or polish and get rid of any remaining debris. After that comes base cleaning: take some warm water and a little bit of soap to clean off your base so it will have maximum grip when you’re out on the slopes.Stance Centering - Most ICS conversion discs will only have one set of holes so this may not be adjustable.
