Best Skate Sharpening Service Fremont Near Me

4worldlovers:
Skate fitting: Fittings are done by appointment only. Our store is very small. There is room for two people maximum. Friends and family need to wait outside. Since there is limited airflow in our little store, masks are still required.

Sharpening: We are now sharpening by walk-in, the way we used to be before the pandemic. During the walk-in hours, please leave your skates with us. We will text you when they are done. You can also get a locker key and pick them up later. We are in a shopping center, so there is a lot to do. If you need a quiet place to work, San Mateo has a beautiful public library on the water.

We are dealers for Jackson and Riedell figure skates. You will be fitted with the correct length and width. Then your boots will be modified so that they do not hurt or give you a blister. We specialize in ouchless ice skates, and can almost always accomplish that. If they hurt when you skate, you can always come back for spot stretching, for no charge, and with no time limit.

Figure skating is all about control. To get the best performance, they need to be personally fitted and adjusted to your feet. This takes time, but you will skate better and enjoy it more.

We offer radius of hollow and Flat Bottom Vee. If you are not sure what you want, we will work with you. Edges will be level. More consistency with the hollows. Recommended if:

Labor intensive, but takes the least amount of metal. Can compensate for the idiosyncrasies of figure skate blades. Can get closer to the pick. Recommended if:

Skates can usually be sharpened while you wait on the robot. The hand sharpening can often be done while you wait but can also back up. The high-end figure sharpening often requires a wait. To help, we have lockers available where you can leave your skates for us when we are not there. Also, if you do not want to wait for your sharpening, we can give you a locker key so your skates will be waiting for you. If you would like to leave your skates in a locker but are not sure of the procedure, please ask.

We offer heat molding for hockey and figure skates. We stretch spots that hurt on figure skates with leather uppers and on hockey skates as long as they are not carbon fiber. We replace rivets and change blades on hockey skates.

We can machine a new curvature into your blades to make them turn quicker or give you more stability at speed. We can also change the balance point. We have a full set of templates for 7', 8', 9', 10', 11', 13', 15' and 28' radius of rocker. Please come by to ask about it. We will look at what you are skating on now and discuss how it might be improved. Then you play a game or skate a stick and shoot. When you bring them back for the profile, we can usually get it right the first time.

We do things the old way, by hand, instead of expecting a machine to do it. We measure to get the correct balance point. We make it the same, even on multiple pair of blades, and when you get new blades years later. We also set the breakpoints by hand. If it is not quite right, we can tweak it.

We can mount your blades onto your boots or move your existing blades. We can adjust the blades as we watch you walk in the lobby. Also, we can work with you on the ice. We will ask questions and align the blades so that you feel the edges are balancing best. We are happy to mount other brands of figure skates such as Avanta, Edea, Harlick, Risport, and SP Teri.

We have the equipment, skill, and expertise to profile figure blades, but this is usually only done in special circumstances.

We are a small family business. Since 1992 Teri Ann and Lilian have been serving the Bay Area skating community.
