Do you still need to wax this kind of board?

We use this surfboard in Lake Michigan. We've never waxed it, our grand children love it and are quite good little surfers.

We don't but it may help it slide through the water faster. My kids use it and are very happy with it just the way it is.

I was instructed that wax was not necessary but you could wax the surfaces with a carnuba wax only

I don't know the answer due to purchasing the board and having it shipped directly to a painter before I received my final product.

yes you can use it without removing base wax. It works good as any quick wax. I use it after washes in between waxings.

Yes. Just make sure nothing runs against the board. It'll leave little marks on your image.

You have to buy the wax. I recommend getting a wax kit to start. It will have everything you need. Then watch some videos.

Wax is not meant for repairing skis/snowboards, it's used to improve glide and/or maintain the integrity of the base. If a board/skis are damaged they should be repaired with appropriate materials, often known as P-Tex. As another poster noted filling damage spots with wax will result in the wax falling out or, more commonly known, a waste of money.

Probably will last more than a year. You only need a little bit and I only oil my boards twice a month.

I'm not sure what you mean by "is it permanent". It is not like a wax finish that you have to re-wax later down the road. It is a hard finish. It has a matte finish look. I love this oil finish. I build furniture and I have customers that only want this finish used on their furniture. I hope this helps.

It will help. Without waxing the string just burns. If you didnt wax you still can just use a lighter to melt some of the surface.

Will be ok to put a layer of wax sealent or glaze. You need more speed to remove scratches and Swirl's.

Short answer:NO. Long answer: There is no need. This Professional model keeps the wax at exactly the right temperature by safely cycling on every hour for 8 minutes. Beware advice to use a crock pot. You can easily scald yourself with high temps and shorten the lifespan of the wax.

I had to treat mine on a weekly basis for the first couple of months, make sure you are doing both sides and the edges. I also use the Emmet's Elixir-expensive but worth it. Now I oil the board about once a month, if that, and it has stayed very smooth. I did find that putting the oil on then placing plastic wrap on top of the board overnight or while I was away for the day seemed to make the board take the oil better. Just wipe off the excess and you're back in business. I love this board and wish I had bought one a long time ago!

No pad necessary. the only thing to be careful of when stacking boards is that the nose of the top one is not pressing into the board below it. make sure the boards are deck-side down, fins up.

I gave the chairs to my parents and I don't believe they put any kind of wax on them. I have two older ones and I have never waxed them.

No strips are needed. When the wax is warmed you can easily smooth it on the area to be waxed using wooden disposable blades. DO NOT double dip the applicator due to bacteria exposure. ONce the wax has cooled, it will harden and is easily removed same as a strip. Hope this helps..... :)

No. But either the board is good or it isn't. I have been purchasing and using separate boards for decades and I have had to return a few because they just didn't work - something was wrong. If a board is good you will not have any issues.
