Umm, weird question but I bought a snowboard and it has a picture, a print on the top side (the one you see while you are snowboarding), but It has nothing on it’s bottom side (the part you don’t see). Well, can I give it in and take it for a spin at the paint shop? I don’t really like thats it’s just black there, pretty boring. 🙄
There is no way to change the base from black to something graphical 😥 ; however, you may be re-stoked (consoled) to know that in general the black bases are more durable and FASTER!
Stay Cool,

Hey dude, don’t laugh, just ask. Most boards with black bases (excluding extruded p-tex) contain graphite mixed in to the polyethylene which holds wax better and reduces static while gliding; this, in turn, reduces friction and preserves the base texture for a longer period of time.

thanks a lot frosty and great tips
Besides waxing, general tuning and base texturing will make a difference. Have an experienced professional do the work (local shop or local pro) do it if you are not experienced at this type of thing. They know the right wax mixtures for the snow type, the right base texture for the season, etc.There are also rub-on waxes (paste wax) that are OK. You can use these yourself, application is really easy, but they do not last as long as a hot wax.
