After a few months of surfing, the old wax on your surfboard will become dirty and less sticky. To bring back that new surfboard feeling, you can clean the old wax from your surfboard.
Start scraping the board with the non-serrated side of a wax comb, old credit card or any other similar implement.
Continue scraping till all wax has been removed from the board. There are some products available (e.g. "Pickle Wax Remover" by Team Chow), which you rub over the board after removing most of the wax by scraping. This will help with removing those last bits of wax. Pure melted coconut oil can achieve the same effect. If rubbed off with a wool blanket scrap, the scrap can then be composted.
Roll the wax ball over the board to pick up the remaining pieces of wax that linger in a few spots. Dispose of the wax ball responsibly.
Re-apply wax if doing so. (This is optional.)
