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....
Used sex wax for many years(Now the smell makes me sick), Then sticky bumps, Now mrs Palmers by far the best(No smell)
Sticky bumps all day. sex wax smells good but doesnt apply as easy imo. seems to last longer after application as well
i heard dane reynolds on the webcast drop the banana wax secret haha. he said that's what all the pros use so i'd imagine its pretty good
mighty mounds is the best wax i ever used, my shop dose not sell it ( spells ) so i just get sticky bumps....plus my home made wax is pretty crappy
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 gotta get me some Fu WAX! http://www.surfpoint.com.br/shop/produto/4836/Parafina-Fu-Wax-Agua-Quente-Branca.html theres the stuff, and heres an article about it thats more useful than the 1st link http://www.stabmag.com/elliot/a-stupid-little-wax-theory. i'm very intrigued to be honest. you can't buy the stuff online.
Basecoat of palmers, then the rest palmers, and imo it should be pronounced pallm-er-s all about my palmers
must be pretty new (or a secret) ive never heard of that before. when i lived in brazil we used smolder wax made by dunga neto. had a good grip but could give you a bad stomach abrasion
Thanks man, you're on to something here. I'm going to look into starting an import business today.........
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...
