    Mrs Palmers, tried sticky bumps and had no traction comapred to palmers, granted it will rash you up its so sticky but so much better than than anything else I have tried. Sticky Bumps, Sex Wax, Famous, etc tried tons (not banana wax though) and plamers is the deal. I tpically buy 4 bars or so at a time to make sure i have some.

    Sticky Bumps for tropical/warm/cool (spring, summer,fall) Mrs Palmers for winter. Did have to go with Rob Machado's wax this summer for a tropical trip cause couldn't get Sticky Bumps and it worked well.

    I have been a fan of sticky bumps for a long time but I recently used bubble gum and it stayed soft no matter what the temp so thats the new go-to for me. I hate when wax is too hard to rub off, it really grinds my gears!

    sounds interesting...wonder if it smells like bubble gum. I've always been a fan of the scented waxes though I know a lot of people dislike the scents

    Palmers in the summer,sex wax in the winter. Palmers is the **** but it makes your board shorts like they been starched and ironed. Ruins everything therefore I dont use it on my $400 wetsuit.

    I havent tried it, but Surfer has an article in the latest edition on these new hyper-sticky waxes that are more intended for aerial surfing/pros who want some seriously gluey shi!t that are so sticky you cant even shove your board in a board bag with the wax on and they wont last much more than one heat.

    ms. palmers till i die. traction without the stickiness of other wax. not such a big deal in the winter but greatly helps avoiding rashes in the summer. always goes on easy and lumps up perfect. plus it floats so if your friend drops it when you toss him a chunk in the lineup you wont have to strangle him.

    i've tried sticky bumps and its ok but your wax lumps mush together and you end up with useless big globs of wax. plus it will leave your ribs bare when you shed the wettie. magma wax is even stickier and ends up ruining your boardshorts/wetsuit. regular sex wax is about as useful as dripping candle wax on your surfboard, however the quick-humps version is my go to backup when i cant find palmers
