Description

PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION BEFORE PURCHASING ANY OF THE OPTIONS FOR THE MAPLE SNOWBOARD!

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND IF YOU DO NOT READ THE DESCRIPTION IN FULL I WILL REFUND YOUR ORDER ASAP!



NOTE FOR BUYER:



All snowboards for sale are painted and processed in my personal residence. I do not make the snowboards, and I do not have every single snowboard type available. I will however accommodate you as the buyer for what you need. The following sections will describe the types of snowboards that I will be selling as well as further specifications for the snowboards height, width, stance and more.



SNOWBOARD TYPES

There are five main types of these snowboards that are listed for sale within this page:

-Brand New Snowboard

-Used Snowboard

-DECO Snowboard (Decoration)

-DECO+Bottom

-DECO+Full Bottom

-DECO+Full Bottom New



For the buyer, to give you a better idea on what you are purchasing and why the snowboards are divided into these categories, here are full descriptions of how each of these snowboards are processed:



The process of creating the snowboard:

Because I am not a snowboard manufacturer the snowboard is not made with the graphic off the bat. With that said, to place the graphic onto the snowboard, I thoroughly sand the surface of the snowboard, paint the surface with a primer, paint the graphic onto the snowboard and then clear coat the surface for strengthening and added durability.



Brand New Snowboard:

-This particular item is exactly how it is described, a brand new snowboard which will be painted by me to resemble the Maplestory Maple Snowboard. Please understand that if you are interested in purchasing the brand new board, that I do not have an unlimited supply of snowboards sitting around my home. I will order a snowboard based on the specifications that you give me, (refer to "SPECIFICATIONS" below) have the snowboard shipped to myself, work on the snowboard, and then ship the snowboard to you, the buyer. Because I have to order the snowboard to myself, the cost of the board as well as the cost of the shipping the snowboard to my residence is included in the final price before the cost of shipping the snowboard from myself to you, the buyer. This means, that the price for me to work on the snowboard does not change based on your location. Only the standard shipping will vary.



Used Snowboard:

-I understand that purchasing a brand new item is not always the most lucrative option when buying something as high end as a snowboard. Thus, I offer GOOD QUALITY "USED" snowboards as an alternative to a new one. These snowboards have minor to moderate imperfections along the surface of the snowboard as well as the bottom of the snowboard. Because I want to sell a high quality product, I go through a rigorous process of restoring each of the snowboards I will be selling. This includes: Buffing out scratches, filling deep cuts, scratches and gashes in the board, smoothing out the surface, cleaning off rust and sharpening the edge of the snowboard, finishing the bottom of the board for a quality ride, and buffing and rounding out dents in the edges of the board. While I make sure to do my best job to fully restore the snowboard, there still may be small imperfections however the board will be in perfect riding condition and come with a beautiful glossy paint job.



Please note that the bottom of the snowboard will have a random graphic on it based on the chosen snowboard.



DECO Snowboard (USED):

-This snowboard is exactly what the abbreviation stands for. IT IS FOR DECORATION ONLY. I understand that some people are dedicated fans of Maplestory (like me) and would like to get their hands on the snowboard to show off as a conversational piece, some of who may not know how to snowboard. Fret not. If its to be mounted on the wall for ever, to be used as a bench, purchased even though you are not a snowboarder, what ever the case, this board is not meant to be used on a mountain. These snowboards fall under the category of used snowboards and are listed as the cheapest of the options. For this type of snowboard, it will be made from a board that has taken fatal damage in terms of its overall safety to be used on a mountain. This means that the snowboard may have been cracked, the bottom is severely cut up or scratched, the ends have significant chipping, or the edges are damaged beyond repair. Despite the fact that these snowboards are not meant to be used on a mountain, I will still be giving them my full attention when it comes to restoring them. This includes, repairing the crack enough that it is fully unnoticeable, cleaning rust off the edge of the snowboard, filling chips and dents and smoothing them to an unnoticeable standard, and smoothing the bottom of the board to clean its abrasive surface.



Please note that the bottom of the snowboard will have a random graphic on it based on the chosen snowboard.



DECO+Bottom:

This board will basically be the same as the standard DECO Snowboard however, this option allows for the bottom of the snowboard to be painted. For this, you may choose a reasonable style such as a solid color, or a contoured fade of colors, this can be two or more colors or even a rainbow of colors. I can make it striped two or more colors, or have a spiral or rings. The idea is that the bottom will have an imprecise design based on the colors of your choice, which will replace the random bottom graphic. Describe what you would like the bottom to look like in the Personalize section when you purchase through this option. If you are unsure if you would like to have the bottom of the board painted, message me and we can discuss what kind of board I will be using as well as the graphic on the bottom.



DECO+Full Bottom:

This option is similar to the DECO+Bottom board however you may commission anything to be on the bottom of the board. This means that I will attempt to paint anything on the bottom such as personalizing your name on the bottom of the board, or even copying the full maplestory graphic for both sides of the board. What every you can think of, I will personally do my best to fit your imagination. For this option, I will recommend a lot of communication between myself and you so that we can both fully understand each other on the design.



DECO+Full Bottom New:

Exactly the same as the Deco+Full Bottom, except on a brand new snowboard.



NOTE: when it comes to the graphic on the snowboard, it is important that the bottom of the board stays UNPAINTED if you wish to use it on a mountain. This is because the paint will ruin the ride and feel of the snowboard and fall into an irreparable state. The DECO board however has the option to paint the bottom of the snowboard as it is purposely meant not to be used on a mountain.



SPECIFICATIONS:

I will go over briefly the specifications of the snowboard that are important when choosing one that you will be using on a mountain.



Shape:

-Camber - For experienced snowboarders.

-Rocker - For beginning snowboarders.

-Hybrid - For in between beginning and experienced.

-Flat - Typically a park board.

-Height - The length of the board from tip to toe.

-Width - how much space your foot has on the board from your heel to your toes.



When you purchase a snowboard from me, I will prompt you with several questions to determine a good snowboard that I will send to you. If you are purchasing a brand new board, I can order an exact board for what you need. If you are purchasing used or deco, I will match the board best suited for you as closely as I can, or refund your purchase/postpone it until I come across a used board that will fit the description more closely.



PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT TYPE OF BOARD SUITS YOU BEST OR ARE UNSURE OF ANY DETAIL, SEND ME A MESSAGE EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER PURCHASING A BOARD, AND I WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH CHOOSING THE RIGHT SNOWBOARD FOR YOU.



Additionally, You may decide to message me beforehand or after purchasing a snowboard. Regardless, I will have to communicate with you to find out the proper snowboard that I have to send you.



Paints and Durability

I use Automotive grade clear coat, and automotive grade primer. The paints are Rustoleum acrylic spray paints. When it comes to durability for the paint, I advise avoiding scraping the surface of the board however if you are concerned with the overall durability of the paint, the following link refers to a reddit user who lists a description on how his paint lasted 60+ DAYS (not runs down a mountain, full days) with minimal fading and damage to the coat of paint.
