HelperElfMissy 42 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 WOW! You must know someone Thursday - we just got all the boards except mine done (mine is in now) and the full service and tune and wax was 7000yen. Anyone using Flows - bring all the gear and spares you need to fix them yourselves. We had a screw holding the highback to the side/base on one side fall out and get lost somewhere on the mountain. Still functioned - the boy rode First Tracks with it like it this morning...but I wouldn't let him ride any chairs until it was fixed coz it was on his lead foot. Anyhooo...no-one could help us out. Lucky our mate had some spare flows, and we pinched a screw from them, but we needed an allen key - had everything BUT!! So we stopped into the flow shop - can't help - only sell newies. They wouldn't even look at it when we put my board in for the service - but they did lend hubby and Allen Key - and he fixed it himself. The boy is very attached to HIS flows - so the offer of a brand new set was NOT GOOD ENOUGH...we will know better next time and carry the right gear to fix them and spares!

thursday 1 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Full tune in J-First is 4500Yen For skis and I think it would not be different for boards as they are of the samish area. J-First is in the Hirafu Carpark at the upper left corner as you look at Yotei. Fine establishment. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Skim reading as usual - I read "tune" skipped the part about "ski"... Bontak is the snowboard tuner here - they did a great job on our boards - but they didn't want to know about the bindings that is all. The boys boards were a bit of a mess - the ice and exposed rocks of Aus make for hard conditons on a board - but the worst scrapes came from boy15 and his trip to NZ. Rock hard ice over there when he was there! Link to post Share on other sites
quattro 1 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 4500 yen seems rather cheep. I just dropped of a set in Sapporo and it was 7500 yen. Link to post Share on other sites
