You may have already heard of a storage wax, essentially you want to coat the entire base with a liberal amount to stop it from drying out whilst also covering the edges to seal them against rust. First things first: get them properly dry. Pro tip — store them in a boot box, cloth sack or even a Tesco bag, anything to keep the spiders from laying eggs in them!
The same goes for that super clever stuffable puffy layer — keeping it compacted will help destroy the down inside. If it does need a bit of love, use a down-specific detergent , then tumble dry with a couple of tennis balls to revive it.
From core materials to final wax, watch how a snowboard gets made in a factory. Using this system to pack your snowboard bag will make travelling with your board, boots and clothing a little bit easier.

A bedroom wardrobe works well. High humidity can cause rust and delamination. Low humidity can dry your board out. If you have to store it somewhere like the garage or the basement then make sure to keep it in a plastic zip lock board bag or wrap it in plastic wrap. You can do this anyway if you want, even if you are keeping it in a temperature, humidity controlled area of your house — just to be extra careful.
Also if you want to be really pedantic about it, you could place something soft like a rug cut off under the tail so that there is less pressure on the board. This might not make any difference over one season but over a few seasons may prolong the life of the board. If you have taken your bindings off make sure the screws are in a safe place.
If you have put your board in a plastic board bag or wrapped it in plastic wrap you could tape the ziplock bag with the screws in it onto the board. On your last day make sure to remove the liners from the boots and make sure that both the boots and liners are thoroughly dry before putting them back together.
Put the liners back in the boots once they are completely dry and do the boots up so they hold their shape. Only do this if you think you are storing them in a high humidity place. If you use too many or if the boots are already in a low humidity area then they could dry out too much. The best bet is to store them in a bedroom or other room in the house where the temperature and humidity should be controlled.
Avoid keeping them in your garage or basement. Now that your board is all ready for its summer hibernation you can get out there, enjoy the sun, stay fit mountain biking, hiking, wake-boarding or however you like to spend your summer.

That, and becoming a better rider and just enjoying and getting the most out of life. Does it make sense to lay all my gear onto the ground in a room after a season and enable the radiator in the room to remove any wet areas?
Or would that destory the boards? If it would be an option, maybe just for a short time like days? And I would do a summer wax afterward for sure. But yeah, over a long period of time being stored like that it could affect the ride down the line. I think it also depends on how long you keep a snowboard for.
Right now i have some question on storage. Can i zip up my snowboard inside snowboard bag and storage upright? Will it affect the board? Yeah you can store it in your snowboard bag and have it upright. Storing it standing on the tail is better than having it lying with the base flat on the ground. If you want you can also have it on a soft surface — though your snowboard bag will provide somewhat of a soft surface but if you wanted you could also put a rug or something under it.
Those were boards I was demoing. The rep who I was borrowing them from for testing had them all in those bags. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
