Im a generally prone rider. Been bodyboarding since 85, I like more chest stomach wax. It's a personal thing. Everybody waxes differently but I enjoy more wax on my board.

To each their own. Too much chest/stomach wax prevents you from quickly repositioning forward/backward, left/right for most riders.

Found using the right wax for water temperature a big factor. Ive always just been using cold water wax and although sticky as hell as soon as warms up only lasts about 10 minutes before rubbing off. Yesterday tried warm water wax ,although water not quite at the temperature guide on wax it was epic. Harder wax, thin application and its perfect.

Only been bodyboarding since June, used to wax the hell out of my boards. Today on a fully cleaned deck took your advise on how to wax. now I can see what your saying about moving about the board. Felt more in control

Mr Reale, thank you for these instructional videos. I have been traveling LATAM for over 2 years. A video about traveling (airline) with your board and gear would be extremely helpful as I make a decision about taking up body boarding as a travel hobby.
Wax is best for dropknee so you don't fall off dropping into waves. For prone I just rub wax on the rails...

Excellent tutorial Jay, expect anything else, gonna try your rail application next weekend as Ian shut me down this one. Any recommendations for a cold wax, say mid/upper 60*s. Thanks ,enjoy your channel.

I've never done this in 44 years of bodyboarding. I know some people do, but I've never felt the need to.

I have been bodyboarding for 55+ years, I wax all of the top, sides, and body of the board. If you don’t wax the chest, and belly, when wearing a wetsuit your board will slip out from under you. Do what works for you.

Thanks for the feedback Tom. For me and most ex-pros, overwaxing the chest/belly area prevents you from sliding forward, backward, left and right easily, so just a light coat works best for me, but as you said, do what works for you.

I even want a body board because I love this hobby, but I come from a poor family, so I can't buy it 😔
