Surfing Waves

How often do you guys scrape old wax off of boards and what do you generally use?

I strip my board whenever it even slightly looks like it needs it. If it looks like the wax is dirty, sand stuck in it or something like that, then it is definately time for new wax job. I barely ever all out strip the board, I usually just scrape it.

i'll usually stip the wax off my board after the therd or fourth session. some of my friends stip it off after every session and others have never removed it.

One wax job , one board ........ I only ever add to it or use a wax comb.

I only take the wax off about once a year lol. I just add abit to my wax and scuff it up with a wax comb every time I go.

take it off when i change from summer to winter wax, and maybe once or twice during each season if its getting too flat or dirty. I always keep the wax i remove tho as emergency wax (dunno why, i got a box full of it now).
i just scrape it down with a wax comb, dont bother getting it completely clean with white spirit or anything tho.

emergency? why? incase every surf shop has run out of wax? lol

nah, partly because i always forget to go and get wax when im runing out, but mainly beacause im a hoarder and cant throw anything away if theres even the tiniest chance it may come in useful one day.

Ye im the same, thats why I sometimes buy a load of wax to stock up. But I cant see old wax being any good

I only change it when I need to change the temp. wax I'm using.
So, about twice a year.

i change it whenever it looks skanky, like now... sort of brown and flat with sand and crap stuck in it
