Waxing is the best tuning job for snowboards and offers instant results. Since wax makes it easier for snowboards to glide over snow, a waxed board will slide quicker and turn simpler. Waxing also protects the base form the dangerous effects of moisture, UV rays, snow pollutants, and dust.
If you are looking to have the smoothest rides, you can always wax more often.

1 ) Before waxing your board, ensure that the base is clean. 2 ) Using an iron, hold a bar of wax against the base of the iron and let the wax drip onto the base. Run a bead of wax along the base without ever letting the iron touch the base. The iron should be hot enough to melt the wax, but not so hot that the wax smokes. ( 250 degrees Fahrenheit is normal )

three ) Once the wax has been applied along the entire length of the base, smooth it out with the iron, being cautious not to let the iron stall or touch the plastic base. Spread a thin layer of wax uniformly over the entire base.
4 ) Once the wax has totally cooled, scrape off the surplus wax by pushing or pulling the scraper from the tip to the tail. Next, use a soft nylon brush to buff the leftover wax. Brush with little, quick strokes until there are no more small white balls of wax.
five ) ultimately, polish the base lightly with an abrasive pad that may make riding smoother and more pleasurable. Whatever you do, make efforts to scrape excess wax from the steel edges so they can cut into the snow.
