I just was and put the board away in my bag with bindings off. But I have also left it in the garage without any prep either.

Don't know if its been said but, the easiest thing to do is to clean it, hot wax it, and store it somewhere where it is protected. If you go to your local shop you can get those plastic sleeves (the ones that all new boards come in) usually for free. You have to take the bindings off to fit your deck inside the sleve but it will be more than enough to protect it.

Honestly though, in the past i've just left boards in my shed and in my room uncleaned, unwaxed, and unprotected and they are still fine. Its just more of a guarentee the first way.]]> Sat, 07 Jan 2012 18:51:21 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45328&PID=1143747#1143747 Board Summer Storage : A tuning kit (e.g. Dakine Super... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45328&PID=1120772#1120772 Author: vchang

Wax just protects the base from dust and other things that it may come in contact with. If you keep it in a bag in a climate controlled place (like in your house), it is probably less vital to wax your board, but I would still recommend it. Bindings I take out. No need to put any unnecessary stress on your board and it only takes a second. Probably doesn't matter though.


The wax also keeps the base from drying out so be careful about constant humidity and temp.]]> Mon, 16 May 2011 06:32:59 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45328&PID=1040728#1040728 Board Summer Storage : Originally posted by sdip12is... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45328&PID=1040294#1040294 Author: beunknown

Take the bindings off, iron a thick layer of wax, don't scrape it, throw it in your board bag and put it away until next season.  Out of sight, out of mind.  Just don't put the thing in your attic if you live in an area where the temps get extremely high.  A friend of mine did that and it warped his board really bad.  ]]> Wed, 13 Apr 2011 22:16:14 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45328&PID=1027119#1027119 Board Summer Storage : wax it, bag it, throw it into... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45328&PID=1025962#1025962 Author: gamelessx25

I just hang mine up on the wall in the garage, all year long, and only take it down when I board.  I leave the bindings on and my boots in the bindings... A "summer wax" isn't really needed, but does help when you want to take your board out for the first time in the following winter.  We are usually all a buzz when we go out for the first time in the winter, so waxing the board and getting everything ready isn't really an issue.
If you're just looking for a way to get them out of the way for your other hobbies, taking your bindings off and putting them in a bag to store under the bed/in a closet (or whatever you chose) will make your board smaller if that's needed.

At end of season, I will remove my bindings, put them back in their respective boxes. I will give my boards a quick tune-up (edge sharpen) and use SimpleGreen to clean the base and topsheet of my boards. I will then give my board a wax coating for the summer (but won't scrape till next season). I will put them in board sleeves and store in my basement closet upright (as to not risk pressure/chipping on the un-scraped wax).

Then I will cry till next winter season. ]]> Sun, 03 Apr 2011 10:42:15 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45328&PID=1020915#1020915 Board Summer Storage : Ditto. Lots of wax, don't... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45328&PID=1020897#1020897 Author: robnezz23

if you wanna to start waxing yourself, it won't be a bad idea. it's a lot cheaper, goodwill iron, bout $20, a bar of wax, bout $10, scraper $5, edge tuning kit is the expensive one $30+. if your edges are good, you don't need to mess with it yet. you can tell how the edge is by rubbing your finger along the edge. a few minor knicks is okay, but its rough all over then you should tune it. i personally did't find any difference when i rest my board flat on the ground or set it against the wall during the summer. try to keep it in a cool dry place or any spot of the house where the temp. doesn't vary too much. ski shop will wax it for you, but you'll need to tell em you want a summer wax so they will most likely apply more wax and not scrape it. ]]> Sat, 02 Apr 2011 13:28:30 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45328&PID=1020516#1020516 Board Summer Storage : should i just get it waxed at... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45328&PID=1020494#1020494 Author: sdip12

If you plan on riding early next season you should not do a full tune. That is when the snow is low and you are likely to ride over rocks/branches/etc. I just took my board in for a wax + edges, but will probably do a full tune sometime next season.]]> Thu, 31 Mar 2011 20:14:28 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45328&PID=1019672#1019672 Board Summer Storage : If your edges are still somewhat... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45328&PID=1019614#1019614 Author: bmorse

If your edges are still somewhat sharp and your base is fine (no large knicks in the edges or deep gouges in the base), you shouldn't need a full tune.  Exactly what Keljai said, do a hot wax, thick layer, don't scrape.  Wax is sort of like a lotion for your base.  If you don't wax and leave it sit all summer, your base will dry out.  Leaving a thick layer on without scraping will ensure that your base won't dry out over summer.  Wink]]> Thu, 31 Mar 2011 18:42:36 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45328&PID=1019614#1019614 Board Summer Storage : ok sounds good thanks man. so... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45328&PID=985826#985826 Author: sdip12

wax yourself and dont scrape it off till next season. u can do whatever you want wiht your board it wont necessarily hurt it, you just wnat to prevent oxidation for the steel portion

At the end of my season I pull my bindings off and clean them and the face of my board, wax the board and leave it in it's bag upright in the closet. But I really like my board. LOL
You shouldn't have any problem laying it down, sliding it under the bed or in the garage on a shelf (as long its not too humid/wet) but I would highly recommend a carrier bag for your board to keep dust off and away from it. The it does a good job keeping you or anyone else unintentionally banging or scratching it.
