How is friction is connected to waxing the surfboards?
When you rub a bar of wax on a board, the heat caused by the rubbing causes the wax to melt into bumps all over the board.
Does wax increase or decrease FRICTION?
Actually, waxing skis increases friction. Wax is not slippery. If you wanted less friction you could oil your skis.
Does wax increase friction?
Yes.... Yes it does.
Why do you reduce friction in skiing?
Most skiers wax their skis for this purpose.
Some ways to reduce friction are by using or applying .?
A way to reduce friction is by using or applying a wax-based product to the surface that touches the ground. Snow skiers apply a wax to their skis. Another way of reducing friction is by designing an object that produces the least amount of air resistance, like a spoiler on a car.

Wax, due to it filling the pores that cause friction will reduce friction.
What can be used to reduce sliding friction and why?
A lubricant such as oil or wax, because it creates a smoother surface to slide on.
