Is it a normal wakesurf board or a regualar surf board? wakesurfers usually have some sort of grip

It's an inland surfer blue lake. It has a sandy like surface under the gelcoat on top. It's just like it drags in the water though. I guess I mean wax the bottom. Nobody waxes the bottoms of wakeboards, but what about wake surfboards?

Why would you wax teh bottom? Generally this is not needed. You could put some sex wax on top or soemthing if you want more traction. If it has a textured surface you probaly don't have to do anything then. Do whatever you want, I don't think sex wax will ruin the top.

if you want a good wax job for the top get a good bottom cote and hit that first pretty thick, then get a wax (i use a warm water wax) kinda easer to work with and put that on top of your basecote
