Are you ready to roll out and hit the slopes?

Then get your board waxed!

Waxing your snowboard ensures that your board remains slippery on icy terrain and allows it to glide seamlessly across powdery surfaces.

We've put together this quick and easy guide to take you through each step of how to wax a snowboard so that you can be up and running in no time.

Step One: Prep Your Board

Before you begin waxing your board, it's important to prepare the surface by cleaning off any dirt or debris.

You can either use a warm damp cloth or a light abrasive cleaner to wipe away any grime. Once it's clean and dry, you're ready to start waxing!

Step Two: Choose Your Wax

When selecting a wax for your snowboard, make sure to choose one designed specifically for the type of terrain you plan on riding.

Different types of wax work best for different conditions such as powdery snow versus icy surfaces.

The temperature of the climate where you will be boarding also matters when selecting a wax – sticks are usually better suited for colder temperatures while liquids can handle warmer climates more effectively.

Step Three: Apply the Wax

Once you've selected the right type of snowboard wax for your needs, it's time to apply it!

Take out your iron (if using) and set it at low heat before placing the bar of wax across the length of your board in small sections.

If using liquid or spray wax skip this step and move on to the next one.

Make sure not to miss any spots; take extra care when focusing around edges and bindings!

After each section has been coated with enough wax let cool before proceeding with next section to avoid melting too much material at once which could lead to damaging bends in your ride's shape over time.

Step Four: Let Cool & Scrape Off Excess

Once all sections have been sufficiently covered let cool until firm before scraping off excess with a plastic scraper at an angle so as not to damage surface layers under pressure from sharp edges found in metal scrapers - a must-have tool for all serious shredders out there!

Step Five: Buff & Shine

Once all excess material has been removed use a soft bristle brush (or even an old sock!)

To buff and create friction between base material for that showroom shine - wear protection & don't forget about safety eyewear when working with this equipment at home as well!

Also, feel free to scour away stubborn pieces stuck around edges if needed but be careful not to scrub too hard then finish up by cleaning off the residue left behind from previous steps with light soap solution or mineral spirits/solvents.

This will ensure that the final product looks its best without any blemishes sticking out while preserving the factory coat sealant layer underneath which helps reduce oxidation over time.

How often to wax a snowboard will depend on the terrain conditions and amount of rides you make, but to keep you snowboard gliding smoothly over the snow, you should inspect its surface area after each outing and wax when necessary to reduce friction.

So get ready now cause after reading and applying these simple steps you'll be ready to hit those slopes with confidence and style alike!
