Whether something is good or not is really just a matter of opinion, some people think they are, some think they are not, the best way for you to decide would be to use one before buying it. Maybe borrow a friends board. If not get lots of advice about the board and read things like magazine and internet reviews to get an idea about whether it it what you would like.
YES

It depends upon the type of Skid board. Wax is generally used in fiberglass boards, but i recommend no with wooden boards because it can cause scratches to the board. Wax is generally made to apply to the fiberglass type of board since skim boards and surfboards are only fiberglass. Also board wax is made for surf boards and skim boards. Also it all depends upon your preference. Do not pay attention to anyone who doubts your style of riding. Remember boarding is about what you want not what anyone else says. So just have a good time. Good Luck And Have Fun!
