Best video I've seen so far for how to wax your board. Can you also do a deep dive into how to tune/sharpen your edges? Incl. the different angles and which one should be used for which riding style? That would be awesome!

Just waxed my board with this method. Saved me so much wax and elbow grease on removing excess wax. Thanks for sharing. 🎉

That crayon trick by giving it the little dab on the iron is insane, gonna save me so much wax. Also that brush trick works wonders too

[blakedoan]

Definitely doing this from now on. And please do video on tuning edges. Thanks for sharing

Cool video. Been waxxing my boards since 1998 and it's always fun to watch something you do and ensure you're doing it right!

My man always coming at it with the best info! Lets go, Tommie!

Great content as always. I normally drip wax on my boards (resulting in a lot of wax used, and an awful lot of scraping) but will give the block rubbing method a go from now on.
How about a video on tuning edge angles and detuning the outer contact points?

Have been using this method for a couple of years now and, as described, it is awesome!

Just got my first snowboard for Christmas. Went ahead and got some of the supplies to wax it and needless to say I’m excited to be able to take care of my board with this technique

[hahninthehood]

Great video. Succinct and to the point. Yet you gave good explanations as well. You earned my sub!

Would love to see your take on sharpening and detuning edges as well.

Such an excellent video and fun to watch.

Hey Tommie! My Vizsla was also named Copper! Great dogs

[thepsuser]

Great vid! Do you have a video about sharpening ?

[DesignRobPearce]

Great tips, way less messy too TBH! Base cleaner first or a brush scrub?

Hey! Weird question for a sponsored video but have you ever tried Musou wax? It's a polythene wax that comes as a powder rather than a block like traditional paraffin wax, and the 3 big differences I've seen are 1/ you only need to wax once a season, 2/ it doesn't really require scraping, 3/ dirt won't stick to your board as easily. I've only seen it here in Japan so I'm curious if you have any thoughts!

Thank for the useful tips. It helps me keep my board ready for the coming season. BTW, I am surprised you have a YONEX board, which is often available only in the Asian region and rarely seen in western countries.

Also for the tip and tail, maybe I’m just lazy but it’s a pain in the ass to scrape there.. at least me to me lol

Also dont be like me this morning and scrape in a hurry and half ass it. You will NOT be faster and you will get stuck. I had to find some nice and steep stuff to overcome them that friction and get rid of that extra wax. Bummer way to start to the day hahah

[therascals]

So gummy stone only on the edges area and not the whole board?

[liltakkko]

I spend alot on wax i wish i knew the crayon trick earlier

[mansakali]

Did you loosen the bindings beforehand? Is that always necessary?
