Surf Wax

Surfboard wax is an essential part of surfing as this product adds traction and grip on your board - making it easier to use and allows you to stand and stay up while riding the waves. Although most boards have thin layer of wax when you purchase them, it is essential that you apply the right wax to optimise traction.

Waxes optimised for specific water temperatures are primary considerations when shopping for surf wax. If you're a travelling surfer, you should have a variety of waxes available at your disposal. Carrying both types for warm and cold water is ideal since you may never know the accurate temperature unless you take a dip into the ocean.

The stickiness and firmness of surfboard wax should also be observed after applying on your board. It should have the right consistency or stickiness in order for you to stay on your board.

Applying a thin base coat before waxing is recommended to help build up the wax and the ideal texture. The wax will not melt off if you apply high-temperature base coat first. However, these days you will find surf wax that's designed for both warm and cold waters.
