The whole ball of wax

The waves were too big and too mean for me (or almost anybody else) yesterday. So instead of going out in the afternoon, I cleaned all the grungy old wax off my freshly-repaired surfboard. Over time, the wax loses its stickiness and turns into a dense, dull, grunge.

A plastic spatula worked great as a scraper

Compressed scrapings

The fresh, clean, new wax coat I put on this morning was a pleasure to surf on.
