re: board waxing

99% of boards are good enough to use straight outa the box (as it where)

If worried get some liquid wax or rub on, then just apply a little after every days boarding Smile

re: board waxing

I just took small block of wax and used my travel iron. Did my skiboards once while out there and used my notwax couple of times a day. Sorted! Can iron your clothes as well.
