hey im kinda a noob as far as the tuning/waxing process for snowboards, but i have scratches on the top of my board from the annoying people who slam their boards on top of mine in an attempt to get snow off. when i get my board waxed and tuned will they fix those or am i kinda stuck with this for a while? i never really noticed in my previous tunings. and yes i did a quick searchbar first so sorry if its a repost

The top of the board is just the graphic, the bottom of your board is what you want to keep waxed.. The top will eventually get scratches.

Go to NAPA and get a few automobile touch up pens if you're that worried about it

real bad scratches, cut away excess material and fill up with epoxy

then put a sticker over it....

option 1) Grow a sack and ride the board. It's a snowboard, accidents happen. As long as it rides you shouldn't be complaining

option 2) If your still complaining about how it looks, cover the scratches with diecuts and stickers

option 3) If you tried options 1 & 2, and are still complaining, get a new board and wrap it in shrink and never ride it

No, they won't fix little scratches. They don't really matter anyway, all they do is make the board/ski look ugly. I wouldn't worry about it unless they are going thru the top sheet and into the core, that can sometimes allow water into the board/ski.
