Abstract
Devices and methods are provided for removing wax from surfaces, such as the exterior surfaces of surfboards. The devices are configured to be sufficiently stiff remove hardened wax, while being soft and pliable enough to avoid scratching or otherwise damaging the underlying surfaces, and to permit the devices to conform to contours and curves on the surfaces.

A method for removing wax from a surface of a surfboard, comprising:
- providing a wax removing device comprising a body formed from a polyurethane rubber material having a hardness between about Shore 70A and about Shore 90A, the body comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, and a side surface having a first edge adjoining the top surface, and a second edge adjoining the lower surface;
- placing the second edge of the side surface in contact with the wax;
- tilting the body in relation to the surface of the surfboard;
- and
- exerting downward pressure on the body while moving the body along the surface of the surfboard.
