How do you do that, as when I wax my board I'm left with a nice, sticky mess, works, but saw what you've just achieved and wondered how?

Bwgan,

you are probably rubbing too hard! Be a bit more gentle in your action and you should see an improvement in results. I used to have terrible wax jobs, even had it peel off in lumps as soon as it got wet. Turns out i was just a bit over enthusiatic with the pressure I was putting on my stick. Take it slow and gentle, and make sure the board is nice and cool before you start.

I love creating awsome wax jobs. After I get a nice thick wax job on my board, I use a wax comb over it all to create smaller grippier bumps and also to flatten out the lumpy wax. Works a treat. Just go up and down and then side to side with the wax and comb.
