How to Wax a Surfboard

[@hunterdavis3003]

Dewax your board when the temperature changes (every season)

[@RiderShack]

Did we forget to mention this? Thanks Hunter.

[@sifuentes4113]

LMAO WHAT

[@sebbissland7273]

how would that work?

[@tinyotter3339]

“Make sure not to watch the bottom of your board, wax the top of your board” 4:46 LMAO 🤣 can’t believe he had to say that

[@casspirburns]

Dane Reynolds said once that Rasta's cross-hatch is a waste of time, but it gets a cleaner buildup, small bumps instead of blobs and smears. I use a sharp edge and do fine lines close together

Thank you

[@natansun]

how can I tell what type of wax I'm looking at? a base or a top coat ? and what's the difference between them?

[@RiderShack]

Usually it will say on the packaging if it's a basecoat. A "Topcoat" wax will just give you a temp range for the water you'll be surfing in. For Sex Wax, their Tropical wax double as the basecoat too.

[@clutchmoments1703]

U where really helpful thx

[@RiderShack]

No problem.

[@Igor-vb1hv]

what does softer for topcoat mean? is it wax for cooler or warmer temperatures?

[@RiderShack]

A softer wax you'd want to use in colder water temps.

[@RiderShack]

Softer wax is for cooler temperatures. Harder is for warmer temperatures.

[@atlanticsurfschool633]

siick nice vid :)

[@prestongreaser2870]

what is the difference between base and top coat

[@RiderShack]

Basecoat is a harder wax that is less prone to moving around on your board. Topcoat is softer and more tacky to give you grip. You don't need to use basecoat however, the soft top will move around over time leaving you with wax free spots on your deck.

[@oonarice8554]

Do you have to use basecoat

[@RiderShack]

You don't have to do basecoat but it does help give you a good foundation that holds the texture and shape better

[@RiderShack]

No, but it will help get better bumps and your wax job will last much longer

[@aidenschmahl9329]

What temprature wax would you use as a basecoat

[@RiderShack]

You would use a wax called base coat or Tropical. The warmer the wax the harder which is basically the same as basecoat.

[@destinisanchez-warren3251]

What is the name of the top coat you use?

[@RiderShack]

The top Coat would be based on the Temperature you need. For example Warm, Cool, Cold, Tropical. All the brands will have the appropriate top coats. A warmer top coat is a harder wax wear a cold is softer.

[@goatmansasquatch1485]

How long till you rewax again? 5 sessions? Ish?

[@RiderShack]

I personally re-wax my board once it gets grimy and ugly. Others here at the shop can't be bothered with it after initial waxing. Someone in the comments below mentioned re-waxing at every seasonal change. I happen to agree with that. As long as you have grip there's no wrong way to go about this.

[@goatmansasquatch1485]

@@RiderShack thank you so much man. I just bought my first board and wasn’t sure how much wax bars I’m actually gonna need. I’ll just go ahead and remove 10 pieces from my cart then, though I had to do that more often. Thanks again dude! New sub. I’m goin to surf in arctic Norway with killer whales and shait. Base coat indeed. Appreciate the help. No one I know surfs only snowboarders here

[@RiderShack]

You should roughly need about 1/2 bar of basecoat and apply top coat as needed each session. it's not much.

[@goatmansasquatch1485]

@@RiderShack Half a bar ish got it. Much appreciated. If not your video, I would smear it all randomly under the board with a iron melter tool like I do with my snowboards. Really, thanks!
