I just had my 3year old LibTech (with MagneTraction) board stone ground, hot waxed, and sharpened. Before that, I have done my own ptex board repairs and waxing and never seen any weird behavior after tuning.
My first ride this season, I noticed a loud 'whizzing' sound, like zipping up a zipper, which I never heard even when the board was new. Also, I noticed insane grabbiness on my toe side turns which put me into the ground a few times until I got used to the grabbiness. It is borderline scary when it grabs. The only thing noteworthy about the riding conditions was I normally ride on pretty hard packed snow/ice, where this time it was lightly packed pack.
Is the sound I hear from the stone grind (grooves in the surface), and if waxed, wouldn't that prevent that? How do I detune this?
I assume the grabbiness is from the magnetraction, which I have heard others talk about, but never experienced on this board until now. Could the edge sharpening be more aggressive than from the factory?
Or, did the shop do something weird to my board?
