Default The final wax

Im going to share a small thing I do come season end. I know some of my fellow riders do this but i am going to post this for all the relatively new people for it seems alot of you did get new first time boards.

When your season ends its a good idea to "seal" the board. Basically I put a heavy coat of wax on the board base with my iron and leave the wax on there until next season then I simply scrape it off at that time.

What this does is seal the base preventing any drying that can occur during the off season and assures you that you will start the new season with a waxed board.

Sounds like a good idea to seal the board..but I store mines in a board bag (the heavy duty travel ones)should I still wax them?
