Surf Wax HACK (Jamie O'Brien does this)

Jamie O'Brien revealed this weird trick on his blog recently, and it actually works really well.
Removing most of the wax on your surfboard is easy... just leave it out in the sun for a few minutes, and scrape the soft wax off.
BUT if you're going to put a traction pad where your wax used to be (like if you're adding a front traction pad), then you need to make sure EVERY little bit of wax is removed.
If any wax or residue is left on your surfboard, your traction pads won't properly stick to the board, and they will fall off or peel off when you surf.
There's a cool product called the Pickle Wax Remover... but if you don't want to spend $15 on that, watch this DIY trick to take off 100% of your surfboard's wax, so your board will be like new again, ready for you to apply front traction pads: hostevie.com/s...

I watched this video and learned the flour trick. Works great. I didn’t have panty hose so I just used a terry towel and sprinkled the flour on it and wiped down the board like that. I was amazed at how well it worked. I could feel the board go from tacky to clean and dry. Thanks Stevie!
FYI I used mineral spirits and paper towels to thin down the wax before using the flour.

Good insight! Stoked it worked well for you 🤙🏽

[@joshtraceysurfing]

Classic! Thanks for the pickle tip! I’ve always used hot water to get the remains off but worried that I’d be damaging the board

[@HoStevie]

🥒 yeah I saw some people put boiling water on their boards 🤯. that's just asking for delamination.
I actually want to make a video where I put a white board and my old black fish out in the sun for a while, and scan their temperatures. Of course black gets hotter, but I'm curious HOW MUCH hotter. Either way, not as hot as boiling water haha

Pro tip: rats and mice like to eat the flour, keep it in a plastic container. Ask me how I know.
