What happens if I don't wax board for summer storage?

My 11/12 skate banana has been without storage wax all summer. And I'm curious if there'll be any permanent damage to it? i.e having worse float/speed even though i wax it before using it again?

Alright that's good to know. Thanks bro :)

Oh and to be clear, I used it last year and early this year, so it doesn't have factory wax. I did wax it once or twice though before using it. I didn't really board much that season.

I just hope it hasn't dried out too much during the summer until now. I won't be using it again til December.

Don't listen to these guys. It's going to spontaneously combust taking out your pets/children/wife/house or whatever you find near and dear to you. :cheeky4: Seriously though, they're right, it's a snowboard, it'll be fine without some wax on it for a few months.

how can i tell if they're not up to standards? considering i know absolutely nothing about that stuff, i'd feel better just taking it to some guy/girl who does. unless it's pretty straight forward to notice, as well as fix.

i will try to learn the whole DYI for waxing and sharpening edges or w/e it is you do eventually though.

Not true, right now that guy's board is stomping around the basement starved for wax, and it will bite his arm off unless he throws a cake of wax down the stairs to distract it before descending.
LOL! that shit made me laugh.

but i live in an apartment complex with store houses located next to the staircase top, so no basement with stairs ;p
