But my advice is when in doubt, WAX IT! better to spend a few extra bucks (or a little extra time) waxing then having a sucky day on the slopes. Plus, nothing bad ever came of over-waxing your board. The same cant be said of under-waxing… Smile
Very good advice. Thanks!
Well, the way I understand it, the purpose of waxing is for the wax to penetrate the base of the board and fill in very small abrasions. Very little of the wax is supposed to stay on the surface, which is why after you apply the wax you remove as much of it as possible. So it doesnt really make sense (unless you have a super-sensitive sense of touch) that the board would have a “waxy feel” to it.But then again, I could be wrong…
Well, I guess the term “waxy feel” can be taken different ways, but SnowNewbie is right

Well, I guess the term “waxy feel” can be taken different ways, but SnowNewbie is right, almost all the wax is scraped from the surface of the base during the waxing process. I suppose a base that is just waxed has more of a waxy feel than a base that is thirsty and dry, but there really should be no wax build-up left behind.
