No you don't but you do need to reapply every time you go out. Wax only needs to be removed every so often - which depends on how often you go surfing.

I tend to be tottally stripping the wax every month or so. Ususally depending how often I'm surfing and thats if i'm going in 2-3 times a week.

The tell tail sign that it need replacing is the colour and amount of crap stuck in it!

Also as sea temperature changes your wax type will change accordingly... if using a different temp wax make sure its just that wax on the board and not a mix or you will find it peeling off.

Keep Safe.
