You will need: a surfboard, a wax comb, sun or perhaps a hair dryer, glass cleaner, a piece of cloth (old underwear), as well as good surf music.
Waxing can get very messy as well as smooth. As long as it looks pretty grotesque, slippery, smashed into pieces with no obvious factor, or even has the scent of gorilla armpits, it’s actually time you ditch it all and start applying a new, advantageous, pleasant-smelling wax to the environment in your body. board (don’t eat it though). There is no worse scenario than sitting on the beach and enjoying perfect waves rolling and you just know that you are likely to entertain your fellow surfers with incredible wipe outs.
First of all, make sure you don’t remove the wax from the surfboard on the beach. Traditional surf wax is full of toxic substances. Even if you are using eco-friendly wax, it doesn’t mean that wax is really a natural part of the beach. And it is also better that you do not get rid of the existing wax on your mother-in-law’s finer carpet. Stay out of trouble. Surf wax sticks! Better to do the job where the sticky surf wax isn’t as important.
Removing the wax is much simpler than it sounds.
Start by putting the board in the sun for about 20 minutes or repeat with your sister’s hair dryer (don’t burn the precious board). You want the wax to start to get a little softer for less messy removal. When the wax is significantly softer, you will begin to remove it. For this task you can use a special wax comb (it’s really cheap), your outdated bank card, or just a plastic paint scraper. Use absolutely nothing metal like a knife or something like that.
The process is very simple. In case your board has detachable fins, please remove them first. Place the board on a sturdy table or bench with a folded towel or blanket underneath. If you don’t have a good place to put the board, place it on your lap. It is essential that you do not place it directly on the ground. This can damage the glass and break the fins when you put pressure on the board (especially if you are going to wax the board).
Start at the top of the board and finish the job by scraping the wax off with the wax comb holding it at a 30-35 degree angle position and continue from one rail to the other with a smooth motion, applying enough power. peel to bottom layer. Continue to the rear. Basically the wax unfolds in thin layers. Pick up the bad wax and dispose of it in a can.
Once you’ve removed most of the wax, you can optionally work with a soft cloth (old big-boy pants is useful now) and a little soap and water or methylated alcohol to remove debris from your board. There is also a particular surf wax remover to buy from the surf shop if you prefer. Wax remover is great for removing wax from a restoration hit and for attaching to a surfboard adhesive grip on the deck. Alright, now you’re ready to shave a bit.
