What an amazing accent! Each word is a world tour. Cheers for the tut.

These guys are the absolute nicest. We rented boards from them on our vacation a few years back. They're always smiling, happy and just fantastic. Must be something in the water 😉

Before any of this make sure you have the right temperature type wax for wherever you are surfing. Don't go putting on Tropical wax if you are surfing in cold water.

[@primedmedia4067]

You might have noticed that when we filmed this the sun started to come out and hence created a bit of drag with the wax.

[@kenshinkarate3463]

Thanks, need a LOT more wax on my board 🤘

[@leleclelland7045]

thanks Zed 👍

[@surfr8]

Good video! That is just how I wax my boards. No base coat, no cross hatching that leaves voids between the lines. Just up and back, across and make circles. I use my wax comb to cross hatch grooves if it gets melted and smooth. I change the wax about twice a year and if it gets real dirty. Good point: keep the rails, bottom, fins and leash free of wax. Go get your stoke!

[@beachesofbarbados]

That's great :) Yes don't wax the rails!

[@hughhaynes6096]

My Bajan country man awesome video.

[@RamzyStudio]

where i can buy this surfboard?

[@EpicSurfNews]

Hey Zed, we just published a video that shows how to wax a shortboard.

[@surferspointbarbados]

Thanks, I will check it out

[@laurencelebeustclair833]

thank you Zed for that info., I am a beginner and own a Torq 7 foot 6" x 21.1/2" x 2.7/8" board is that size a long board ? and what is ment by a rocker ?

[@Surfmus]

Nope. It's a Funboard, Minimal, Minimalibu, or mini longboard.

[@shakomaniako]

I dont agree with the wax on the sides, i have a 7,8 and i really need it to place myself into the board when i'm at the break point or trying to get to the spot.
if i dont have the wax on the sides, i can't place myself properly when the waves are coming (I only put it where my chest is, that's where i usually grab the board)

[@surferspointbarbados]

its ok to disagree… thanks for your input.

[@jayblackburn9890]

an you forgot your basecoat

[@PaulRhysTV]

Is that a Cornish/American/Trinidadian accent? Amazing.

[@primedmedia4067]

Bajan...mixed with a bit of Irish I think

[@hughhaynes6096]

Barbados accent.

[@hughhaynes6096]

Barbados South coast waterfront accent.

[@jamesmottram742]

can I use the same brand was for fiberglass boards?

[@joeblow8643]

No you can’t, in fact each board brand has its own wax recommended due to the unique fiberglass each company uses. Make sure you read up on it and get the correct wax or else you will slip

[@SabrinaDacosta]

Lol. What!? Stop making things up. Best waxes brands are for all fiberglass boards

[@joeblow8643]

Sabrina Dacosta I was just trolling

[@feriretsiel4878]

[@jayblackburn9890]

[@Jay-fq8uz]

[@Bodhioc]
