To wax your skimboard, first clean off any dirt and debris on the board. Then, apply a layer of base coat wax followed by a layer of top coat wax. Use a wax comb to create textured grooves in the wax for added grip.
A wood skimboard is heavier and more durable than a foam skimboard, but it can be more challenging to ride. A foam skimboard is lighter and more buoyant, making it easier to maneuver.
To clean your skimboard, rinse it with fresh water after each use to remove any sand or saltwater. If there are any stubborn stains or dirt, use a mild soap and water solution to clean the board.
Skimboards are not designed for surfing and may not perform well in breaking waves. It is best to use a surfboard for traditional surfing.
