is my board messed up? - Snowboarding Forum

I got a new board this year. I noticed yesterday that the middle part of the board is curved outward a little. Is this bad? How do I fix it? Did i tighten my bindings too much?

Im not quite sure if i understand what you are trying to say but from my point of view thats normal and it can be even easier to not get your edges stuck in the snow.. But i highly dought its because of your bindings being to tight...

Well if you are talking about your base having a little convex/concave to it, it is probably normal. When I got my last base grind done, the shop tech said that most snowboards aren't even perfectly flat on the bottom from the factory. I'd ride it or take it to a shop, if it's a new board and something is fawked, you will definitely want a new one under warranty.

Are you talking about your board arching up in the middle? If it is, then that's a good thing...Anyway, if you could get some pics, that would be awsome.
