#1 Topic: new board rusty edges, please help!

Posted 1 May 2020 - 9:30pm on Snowboard Club UK

Hi All

An unfortunate first post for me. I just bought a brand new board, but the edges have rust and it seems to have been waxed. like it was used for a day, waxed and resealed in the cellophane it came in. I informed the shop who said I could have a 10% discount or return it. it was already 40% off, I don't want the hassle of returning it and would like to keep it, but 10% off seems like too little for what is effectively a used board, plus I am worried that there is more underlying damage like the rust is a sign of weakness, worried if i keep it I might be regretting it come next season. looking closer it seems there is wax on the edges so it must have rusted before the re-wax so worried how deep rust might go, Any thoughts and advice appreciated. Thanks

With a big weather front on the horizon, it was hoped that it would only affect one day of competition, but the early arrival of the wind shortened today’s Picture Big Air British Championship to one breezy run.

Olympians and Junior World Champions have graced the ski cross podium in recent year at The BRITS but it was a host of teenagers which took centre stage today in an event which rewarded raw speed over cunning and tactics.
