Skate Wax & Grind Wax

Purpose of Skate Wax

Skate wax, which is also referred to as curb wax or grind wax, aids your skateboard in sliding and grinding more effortlessly during tricks. Typically composed of paraffin, the wax minimises friction and smooths surfaces, facilitating the execution of stunts like 50/50s and boardslides.

Incorporating wax can significantly enhance your skating experience. With just a small amount, many rails, curbs, and ledges become "skateable," allowing you to skate on numerous additional surfaces.

Application of Skate Wax

You can apply skateboard wax beneath your board as well as on the surfaces you intend to grind and slide on. To apply, simply rub some wax on the area where you plan to perform tricks and also on the underside of your board.

The more wax you use, the smoother both the surface and your board will become. Thus, it is advised to begin by applying a modest amount and then testing it. If the surface is not smooth enough, you can always add more. If wax isn’t used, another method to achieve a smoother deck is by installing Skateboard Deck Rails. These rails assist in reducing friction and extending the durability of your deck.
