so number one fixing the holes on the
base all you need is a metal scraper a
bit of ptex and a lighter
first of all take out scrape a bit to
make sure that nothing sticks out number
two
light up drape a bit good and you feel
your hole it's good to press it now
we're gonna let it cool down come and
scrape it later step number two while
this is cooling down we're gonna do the
edges so you need is an angle a file a
stone and a rubber first step is to
clean the edges especially when you've
been hitting rocks the magic trick the
water I never have water so I spit on it
clean the base first
like this yeah needs to feel smooth and
not cut you up and then the edge and
then the file a bit of filing up if you
really are a perfectionist then you can
take a bit of angle off the middle of
your split board so which is the
straight edge you're gonna take a file
you're gonna put a little bit of tape
around it it angles it a little bit so
that my edge will be angled compared to
the base so that when the base is flat
the middle edge will not catch this is
really nice actually
so when getting a brand-new board a good
thing to do is to detune a little bit
your nose and tail so I usually stop at
the point of contact until you have
absolutely no great I'll make your board
and fast
[Music]
not the finest job but it will work boom
ready to wax third step is taking care
of the base so that you're gonna have a
void that glides and that is nice that
feels good under the feet so you need a
few things so a brush pretty important
actually a scraper a block of wax and an
iron I usually use Universal wax because
it's going to be working in every
condition it's not going to be the top
of the RACI best stuff you've ever had
but it's gonna be really Universal
put a little bit of wax everywhere you
could take the iron from your
grandmother and in terms of temperature
you need to have it warm enough so that
it melts the wax but so that it doesn't
smoke
[Music]
always in the direction of gliding front
tail important to really take all the
wax away from the base because when
you're gonna put your skins on if you
haven't been running before
the works could be sticking to the glue
and that's the end of your skins watch
on this one and then to finish the brush
we'll take out all the extra wax and
we'll make everything slide really well
so this is it
ready for new adventures make the effort
I guarantee you you will not regret it
you
