How often do you re-wax your board?

Have a chat about any general surfing related topics.

Once every year, usually a generous coat before the winter season.

I wax my board before every session. I change the wax when it starts getting brown and slippery.

Hahahahaha so i guess you sleep with your board too?

As for the question once every blue moon and wax combs are great for re-juvinating old wax.

I tried, and I had a huge rash. But sereusly though, there is just this thing about a new coat of wax that gives me so much more confidence, plus it smells so nice, and looks 10 times better.

Okies. Moving swiftly on... :D

I've had my current board about 10 months, I've yet to strip it. I WAS promising myself I'd do it before I went on holiday at christmas, but didn't get around to it.

I do apply a bit of fresh wax every time I surf, and I molest it with a comb quite frequently.
