where to get snowboard tuneup and waxing?

hey guys, sorry for the random question, but being snow season and all, i haevnt waxed my board in 3 years. its amazing i can still move.

was wondering where in the east bay y'all go to get a tuneup and waxing? im located in danville, so im not trying to drive TOO Far. but the board needs it. and how much does it run? i used to wax my own board, so i dont know what somthin like this would run me?

thanks dudes!

if all you need is a minor tune and wax you can do it at resorts or shops up local to resorts. They're all over.

It's right off 24, takes me like 10 minutes from danville. I do my own tune ups but the guys are cool there and do good work from what i've seen.

why not DIY? it's easy and your board is not run thru a wax machine.

Take it to Milo Sport in Lafayette. It's right off the freeway and they are a snowbrd shop. Not some place that sells ski's and hiking boots. Plus, they are very nice and offer great deals!

thanks davon for the info.

i would do it myself, but i dont have the tune up tools, nor will my parents like me making a mess. when used to wax my board in college wax would get everyhwere and "stain" the sidewalk. definately a no no with the parentals.

yea i haven't had mine done there (its been 2 years ahhhhhhhhhhh) good thing its a 163 duo beta that ****s on every other board. My buddy got his done there recently seemed pretty good and his lazy *** didn't pick it up for a week and a half and they didn't steal it so thats a positive thing. In all seriousness the guys there seem to know their ****, but i'd personally like to meet the guy who p-texs etc. as any mountain in concord had a guy who was a total nerd about it and you knew hed do a great job.

to clarify my buddy only had his board waxed/edges

REI in S.F. A friend of mine Jamaica works there. Chill guy, and will push you to the top of the list if you bring in a 6 pack of red tail local brew.
