Ruler Snowboard

Ruler Snowboard
Snowboarding for a beginner – wax help plz?

hey, so for some reason I bought a snowboard last year (before attempting to board) and there seemed to be too much wax on the board. I wasn’ able to go much last winter; however, the times that I made it to the slopes, my board seemed incredibly quick. For example, I put my board next to four of my friend’s boards on a slightly downhill area, and my board just took off while my friends boards slowly inched there way down. To make this short, recently I scrapped some of the wax off before going to snowshoe, and it helped tremendously. I guess I am wondering though, since I’ve gone twice in total snowboarding, should I actually buy a wax scrapper or brush b/c I had to use the edge of a ruler to get some of the wax off (clumps etc…)? I know that most advanced snowboarders prefer more wax to less, but since I am still a beginner/intermediate (I can finally do toeside), it seems less wax would be better. Thanks!

After waxing is done properly there shouldn’t be ANY clumps left. You remove almost everything when you scrape it down. I’d suggest looking up some tuning sites online to learn more about it…as it’s far too complicated a process to explain here.

I can tell you that learning about keeping your board properly tuned up (and actually DOING IT) will make a 200% difference in how your board rides!
