Summerizing your gear
« on: March 28, 2008, 09:12:30 AM »

So I was wondering what is the best way to get your gear ready for summer storage.  Hear is what I have so far, wax the board with a thick coat and leave it on over the summer, fill my boots with newspaper to help them keep the shape.  I was wondering about my pants, they are Burton and waterproof and it says that I can wash them and that from time to time to reapply water repellent.  Any ideas on this.  Also is it a bad idea to store my stuff in a big rubbermaid container in the attic over the summer.  Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Michael

Those are good tips.  If you go with the airtight container, just make sure there is no moisture in there before sealing it.

For softgoods like waterproof/breathable pants and jacket they make special wash to care for that.  An example is Nikwax TX Direct.

For snowboard, I never do the thick coat of wax deal.  I guess if the only place you have to store your ride in like in a garage or something, then yeah, do that for sure.  I keep my boards in my house only always.
