Question

I`ve got a pair of billabong shorts in the pocket is a plastic comb, which comes apart . what`s it all about?

Answer 1

The comb is there for putting/taking off the  wax on your surfboard.

Answer 2

its called a wax comb, surfers use it to rough up their wax job on their board and take off wax, i need to get one

Answer 3

Its for your board wax - but sounds like you are just a side walk surfer - try the real thing its magic

Answer 4

It sounds like you got the wax comb/surf key combo.

The wax comb has two sides to it...a jagged side used to rough up your existing wax after it has been on there for a while for adding some more wax before a session.  The flat side is to strip all of the old wax off of your board for a re-application.  This usually occurs between seasons (need a different type of wax for cold-weather surfing than you do for warm-weather) or if the wax is getting old and flaky.

The surf key (the part that comes apart as you described) is used to tighten/loosen the screws that go into the fins on a surfboard.

I have the same tool and use it as described above.

Answer 5

ive got some too! and could never figure out what the comb was for...all i know is, its washing machine safe!
