Where do you live? I live in Jax Beach Florida and they’re basically the cheapest thing you can buy for fun. Tons of quality boards under $500 and tons of starter boards under $200.

Thank you so much it’s my first time doing this so thank you

What wax should I use if I have both warm and cold water

@stoketopia

3 ай бұрын

Have both and use the one that's best for the current conditions. Put it over the top.

Question how do you clean it properly is there a trick cause the top is softer and would not want to. Pierce it while scraping !!! Sorry I’m a kook I know lol

Hi, that's a good question, you can just use a hair dryer and a rag. I give the details in this post: stoketopia.com/how-to-wax-a-soft-top-surfboard/

how often do I need to wax it? Thanks!

@stoketopia

2 жыл бұрын

Whenever you feel like you're losing grip. More when it's new, but less later.

Mahalo!

In my opinion you waxed the rails way too far to the edges. This is also submerged in the water and will slow you down a lot if you wax it.

@stoketopia

Wax on the rails is negligible when it comes to speed. You aren't going fast on a longboard anyway. Grip is much more important.

So hands flat on the deck you don’t grab the rails, as for slowing you down not a huge concern on a longboard and a foamy in particular cause you don’t rip on a log but waxing the rails is a horrible practice especially once you get a performance board
