no you dont. there isnt friction on the water like there is on snow. also, since the boat is pulling you at a constant speed it wouldnt matter much anyway

Don't wax your wakeboard. Unless you wanna be a tool fool!

Only reason to wax a wakeboard is if u wanna try to hide scratches or something.. otherwise it is useless.

You can wax the top or use 303 to keep it from fading. You do not want wax on the bottom. The water should not bead on the bottom. If it does, wash with dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge until the water sheets. New boards have wax on them to release from the mold. That should be removed as above.
