Surfboard Wax isn’t usually sticky from one session to the next, so it needs to be removed from your board between sessions. You don’t have remove all of it, but removing a fair amount of wax will make room for the new wax and keep your board sticky for a fun ride every time.
Use a Comb
There’s more than one way to remove wax from your board, but one quick and reliable method is to simply use a comb. This can be a comb you buy at a surf shop like a Mr. Zog’s comb, or it can be a regular, 59 cent comb you get at a gas station. A normal, black hair comb will do the trick. Simply use it to scrape the wax off of your board, going in downward strokes while your board is on the ground or leaning up against something. It’s a good idea to pull the comb down in different directions too, so that a grid is made on your board with little squares about 2 inches apart. This helps with traction.
