The Dakine Natural Nylon Tuning Brush is built for riders who demand precision and consistency in their board maintenance routine. Its beech wood body provides a stable, natural grip, while the blend of nylon and wool-viscose fibres generates controlled friction that cleans the base without compromising its integrity. This balanced fibre behaviour ensures clean strokes after waxing, effectively revealing the microstructure essential for smooth glide. The compact format supports technical manoeuvres even in smaller workshop spaces, and the integrated felt section delivers a refined final polish, removing any remaining wax film. With its ergonomic, no-nonsense construction, the brush retains stability through repeated passes, offering a technical feel and a level of performance that exceeds its modest size.
Performance
The brush’s performance is defined by accurate wax removal and base reactivation. The nylon fibres efficiently lift excess wax while reopening the structure for consistent snow interaction across varied conditions. Its 11.5 cm x 3.2 cm working area ensures uniform coverage and fine control, while the 12 cm x 3.5 cm felt section completes the finish with a micro-polish suited to high-speed riding. The result is a dependable tool for riders who prioritise precision without requiring powered equipment. Each stroke contributes to a clean, confident glide from the first run of the day.
Functional Construction
The brush features a robust beech wood body (81%) shaped for a secure, compact grip. The fibre array consists of 10% nylon and 9% wool-viscose blend, producing a measured level of abrasion ideal for post-wax finishing. Its total dimensions—4.8 x 10 x 3.5 cm—make it comfortable for both quick strokes and extended tuning sessions. The dedicated felt zone (12 x 3.5 cm) enhances the final stage, clearing residual wax and smoothing the surface. While the weight is unspecified, the brush feels light in hand, supporting long, controlled use.
Technology Applied to Performance
The brush’s efficiency comes from the interaction of its hybrid fibre system. Nylon offers the rigidity required for effective wax removal, while the wool-viscose blend softens the contact, reducing vibration and producing smoother transitions. The felt component contributes a micro-finish that prepares the base for fast snow conditions. Though fully manual, the brush’s material engineering is key to its reliability and technical capability.
