Snowboard Waxing: Materials

Video Transcript

"In this section I'm going to show you some of the things your going to need to actually snowboard. First off you're going to need something like a base cleaner of some kind that can clean off all the dirt and grime off the bottom of the snowboard. You're going to just apply that and then wipe it off with a cloth or a paper towel or something. Then what you're going to need to get is your wax and your iron. Make sure it's not like your mother's iron for clothes, because she will get kind of mad. Then, just make sure you plug that in and heat it all up, and then touch the wax to it, and just zig-zag it across the board. Then, once you're done with all that you're going to get yourself a scraper right here, and you're just going to scrape off all the access wax. So you need one of those, and then some kind of Scotch Bright pad or buff pad or something like that to buff off all the extra wax. If you're in a rush and already at the mountain and don't have time to stop by a shop and wait for them to hot wax it, they have several products you can buy just to do it quickly like a spray on product. This is a spray on product that you just spray over your board, and we have like a buff on, you just apply it with a cloth or a pad, and then there's also just like a roll on style wax. These are all the different tools you need for waxing."
