I just got a new snowboard. How should I take care of it till winter?

Question

Am i suppose to wax it constantly or something like that

Answer 1

Since its new it will come with the really bad factory wax that will ware off pretty fast. What you need to do is take the old wax by getting wax remover spray. Then just do a simple hand wax.

Answer 2

Hi

If it is new it will be fully waxed so no need for extra wax.

Keep it dry to prevent the edges getting rusty otherwise sit back and look forward to riding the baby!

Answer 3

store it in a board bag, in a spot where it can't get damaged or fall over. when the time comes to use it get it waxed at a local shop or wax it yourself if you know how.

Answer 4

I am a snowboard instructor, I own 3 snowboards and I ride competitively. What i do to keep my board in top shape is I put a coat of hot wax on before the summer and dont scrape it. This will prevent the boards base from drying out. At the end of the summer I scrape the board, ride it for a day then use a wax remover and do a hot wax. I find it prevents my base from oxidizing and keeps it in the fastest condition. If you dont know how to do a hot wax take it to a good reputable shop and ask them if they can a) do it for you or b) show you how to do it and sell you a proper iron and wax. I'd recommend checking out youtube for some basic waxing tutorials also.

Answer 5

Just sleeping with it will be fine..

Answer 6

Don't forget to wax ur edges too so it doesnt rust
