Expert Advice
If you’ve ever tried removing old wax on a cold day, you’ll know
how stubborn it can be. The Pickle makes the job so much easier —
after scraping, a few firm rubs lift the remaining residue without
smearing it around or leaving your hands covered in wax. It's also
brilliant before applying a tail pad since it ensures the deck is
properly clean for maximum adhesion. Eco-friendly, effective and
genuinely useful, it’s one of those small surf accessories you end
up wondering how you ever lived without.
Q & A
Q: Do I need to heat my board before using
it?
A: No — the Pickle works well at room temperature. If the wax is
extremely hard, leaving the board in mild sun for a few minutes can
help, but it isn’t essential.
Q: Will it damage my board?
A: Not at all. Unlike harsh solvents, the Pickle uses friction, not
chemicals, so it’s safe for all surfboard finishes.
Q: How long does one Pickle last?
A: A long time — most surfers use the same Pickle for months or
even years, depending on how often they fully strip their
boards.
Q: Does it remove every trace of wax?
A: Yes — after scraping with the included comb, the Pickle removes
the remaining residue, leaving a clean, smooth surface.
Q: Can I use it for traction pad
installation?
A: Absolutely. It’s one of the best tools for prepping the deck so
your tail pad sticks properly and stays put.
Q: Is it really made from recycled
materials?
A: Yes — the entire Pickle is made from 100% recycled material,
making it an eco-friendly choice for board care.
