I waxed once a week usually on Wednesdays. Me and my riding buddies would get together after riding that day and P-tex, wax, and sharpen our edges over a nice fat bowl of green bud.

My equipment is actually in great shape. I have been riding the same board since my second season which is a 1st generation K2 ElDorado. Still has the same flex, the core is solid, and aside from a couple minor gouges in the base and some graphic fading on the deck it is in sweet condition.
