A Dakine Brass Snowboard Tuning Brush is an important part of regular base maintenance and conditioning. In brushing down your base before waxing to clean out debris, and brushing after waxing to bring back the structure of the base for an optimal ride, a good brush can be your ski or snowboard's best friend. The Dakine Brass Brush is slightly larger than the standard, meaning more surface area to work with. The stiffer bristles of brass make for a much faster job than nylon, and work well with all waxes.
