    So, what's your favorite wax? Anyone using something outside the usual suspects they like?

    My fav is Sticky Bumps, but I haven't branched out in over 15 years and am now wondering if I am missing something better. I have tried Famous, but hate it. Been hearing about banana wax, so let me know if any of you all have used it....

    On the web cast they were talking about "Fu Wax"...it's brazilian. Apparently it's like having bindings on your board.

    Spells was out of stick bumps a couple of weeks ago so i bought Palmers instead. Palmers doesn't seem to hold up as well. You have to apply every sesh. Sticky bumps not the case. It lasts longer. IMO

    I used Sticky Bumps for the most part . I used to be a sex wax fan but got tired or rewaxing a board often. My wife gets me that Eco Palmetto Surfwax that Eco Friendly that you can use in all temps. I tried magma that **** blows donkeys u end up with more of it on your wetsuit then you do on your board after a session.

    i like palmers or sticky wax, there pretty close. i like palmers cause its a bit more gummy. i do notice it comes off on my trunks, but hey its a sport right? i haven't used sex wax in years, just thought it was always too hard. and honestly, i don't want my 6 year old child asking me what sex is....

    I use pretty much anything i can get my hands on but ive noticed sticky bumps has better traction but sex wax lasts longer. I also tried rob machado's homemade blend and that worked really well but its more expensive. I would definitely try the banana wax if I could get my hands on it...
