I am trying to get out of town to find some freshie up in the Idaho panhandle, and then up to Nelson, but 'Stormy' the cat has decided to hide out so we are forced to wait. . So anyway, I can't testify for the skins guy yet, cause I haven't got them back yet. He says he enjoys doing it. What can I say?

You can now drop your skins off at 2nd Wind Sports in Hood River to be reglued. The cost is $40 and you will normally have them back within 3 days.

Testimonial for the Hood River 2ND Wind Skin Guy: he did a really great job of re-gluing and I didn't have to go in to Portland to get them done, which is a huge issue around here. And he was fast. And I didn't have to do it myself; I can barely keep wax on my various boards. ;D

Testimonial for G3 skins: I like the tail attachment system, and the original glue worked fine in the PNW. When I reglued after 2 seasons I used BD Ascension glue---all the local shop had after I used up my old Coll-Tex squeeze tube. I didn't strip all the old glue, but just smoothed and thinned it by using the iron and a paper bag. The new glue works so well it's hard to rip the skins off the bases! I ran electrical tape down the middle of the skins to make them easie to pull.
After some bad experiences I religiously keep snow off during the day, use Skin Saver sheets for every run (tho the Scotsman thinks I'm nuts), and dry them thoroughly as soon as I get home.
