Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody had any advice for my snowboard. It's an old board, about 15 years old or so. It doesn't have a ton of use on it and is in pretty good shape.

I have recently gotten back into snowboarding after a few years off and bought a pass at Sunshine. Approx 10 visits this year and I have waxed and sharpened the edges twice.

What I am finding is that when my board may be due for a wax, it doesn't appear to track straight?? Looking at the bottom of the board, it doesn't have any real damage and other boarders have commented that it looks good in terms of Ptex.

Can my board be warped or damaged in some ways? Or does it just need another wax job?

I am going to replace it with something new and a proper board at the end of the season. I can do it now as it's not really a financial consideration but I have kinda had it with always replacing "Stuff" I have that is still useable. Clothes, electronics, sports equipment etc. I just figure I would get another 10-15 days out of it and pick up a nice board from a local shop.

Any thoughts? Thanks!
