How to Wax and Tune Snowboards and Skis | Plus my Favorite Tips & Tricks 

Don’t know if you’ve looked at other vids too, ik different vids show different things but what I’ve learned from vids and experience from shops is tune the edges before you wax, then use the crayoning method to apply the wax instead of the drip method, and something I noticed a lot of people don’t mention is taking off the bindings, taken them off will one save you from having to cover them or just being careful not to get wax on them, two it’ll give a more flat place to rest the board, and three the screws pull the board so you just get a more even coat

Thanks for the tip! I have to rewax the board a bit. My daughter took it out after my first time waxing the board and said it was way to too fast. Think I need to remove some more wax haha @@jordanmorrow4757

So glad that it helped!!

What do you mean by see what you have

@carterhutchins5996 I think the idea is to put a sharpie over the edge, so when you sharpen it, you can ensure that you’ve hit the entire edge by visually seeing the how much of that sharpie mark is removed.

@@ZacharyKenney8 love that idea, thank you for the explanation/suggestion

For sure. I’ll be honest, out here in Utah edges take a back seat as far being paid attention to… ain’t much use for’m here.

Thanks Paul! Great to hear it helped! Can’t complain at the moment. I hear a congrats are in order for you getting married man!

@@ZacharyKenney8 Glad to hear it. Yup, thanks bud! We actually got married in Park City. Didn't know that's where you were now. We plan to be out every so often in the winter moving forward. We will have to link up for some turns!

No way!! Sounds perfect my man

I live it Utah, sharpening edges is uncommon to begin with 😂

Very lucky. Out in Canada. Need those sharp edges on the east coast. Would love powder though.

@Figgles274 I couldn’t agree more. I cut my teeth up in New England and feel your pain.

Was about to post that! Yes, sharpen first! 2 degree sides (skis) is good for most Eastern conditions, but not necessary if you ski powder all the time.

Good idea!

In my experience, keep scraping until no more wax comes off. Push hard! The wax you care about is what’s left in the pores of the board.

In my experience the wax cools very quickly, so I don’t do any extra wait time. But yeah, definitely don’t scrape it off right away if it’s still hot.

Sorry, I don’t understand the question?

Depends on where you’re skiing. East coast ice, then yes, cut your finger nail sharp. Mountain west, sharpen every three years.

That’s probably a good idea! I’ll have to start implementing it.

I have no experience with the warm rubbing, so I can’t really recommend which is better.

Love it!
