There is no way to change the base from black to something graphical   ; however, you may be re-stoked (consoled) to know that in general the black bases are more durable and FASTER!

LMAO ok how does a color make u faster or slower  what are you baseing this on??

Hey dude, don't laugh, just ask.  Most boards with black bases (excluding extruded p-tex) contain graphite mixed in to the polyethylene which holds wax better and reduces static while gliding; this, in turn, reduces friction and preserves the base texture for a longer period of time.

Besides waxing, general tuning and base texturing will make a difference.  Have an experienced professional do the work (local shop or local pro) do it if you are not experienced at this type of thing.  They know the right wax mixtures for the snow type, the right base texture for the season, etc.

There are also rub-on waxes (paste wax) that are OK.  You can use these yourself, application is really easy, but they do not last as long as a hot wax.


Swix Glide Wax - Paste
Swix F4 Paste Glide Wax just might save your day. When new snow flies or spring conditions have you moving slow, pull the tin out of your pack, and rub it on with the included sponge.

If you are a little more adventurous, you can check out a wax kit (hot wax).
