Maintaining
There are two methods that surfers use to maintain their wax. Usually a wax comb is used to maintain the grip of the wax. Usually, the comb is used to engrave a cross-cut pattern into the wax to create a tackier surface. The second method is to take coarse beach sand and to rub it on the board to scratch the wax and create a rougher surface.
