Softcarver Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I am just getting into tuning my own boards. I currently have three sticks and figured it was about time between the cost and convenience aspect. I don't want to go crazy, but I don't mind spending a little more for a noticeable performance increase. How often do you normally have to wax your board? I was figuring on a wax application every 2 days and a base cleaning/reapplication after every 4 on the snow. Does that sound about right? The dominator line looks good. I was thinking of using the Renew graphite zoom as a base with the Hyper Zoom or Bullet wax depending on temp. Any opinions on this setup or better alternatives? I am not set on the Dominator brand. Although, after doing some research, it does seem like a good brand. Additionally I ride in Northern Vermont and was wondering if anyone new the normal snow temp throughout the year as I have never checked it. Unfortunately I know the snow is usually old and icy. Would that make it a better choice for the Bullet line? Thanks in advance for any advice/info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie00 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I ride in Quebec and Vermont most of the time and I've been using Dominator wax since last season. Just like you I wanted decent wax but didn't want to go crazy. This is what I'm using now. Graphite Zoom. Big block (every day use) Graphite Renew big block ( for summer wax and base cleaning) Bullet small block (for those really cold north east days) started using dominator last winter and I'm very pleased. I wax every 2nd or 3rd day at max. I'm riding 35-40 days a year and from last year the big blocks should last me 4-5 years easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
