Wow, nice first post! WELCOME!Nice deal on that board. Ride boards are nice and durable. I suggest getting a “tune up” from a snowboard shop. They are professionals at waxing and can report any potential problems to you. Waxing your own board is something you can eventually so if you want, but you will have the most fun on a board that is done professionally.As for the new setup, minor dings and scratches are to be expected with normal usage of a snowboard. Most affect performance in no noticeable way. Make sure the edges are intact and that the base material is flush up against the edge. Even with moderate to severe damage, pro shop repair guys can work magic on boards — I have seen some really impressive fix jobs before 🙂
