i like sex wax the least out of every wax i've used. it's just my .02, but I always felt like I was rubbing scented butter on my board whenever I'd use it. palmers, sticky bumps, and magma are all on the same tier of awesomeness though.
I started out using Zoggs but have been using SB's lately,mainly cause it was what my local surf shop had at the time. I think SB's is tackier but I dont have to re-apply as often using Zoggs. Not to change the subject,but I agree, there has been some decent waves here on the gulf the last 2 days. I know its not OH an barreling, but like SotG said, we'll take what we get!!
agree... palmers, sticky bumps...i do however have a couple bars of Zog's Dream Cream, their version of the FU wax...haven't tried it yet.
Love the Zog's! I have tried all the others throughout the years, and really don't care for them. I don't like getting out of the water with a chest full of wax.... plus (more of a personal opinion) I really don't like to have a super sticky board, it just doesn't feel right to me when surfing. Zog's is the best for just enough grip. In fact, i go sessions without rewaxing... too much wax and it just ends up getting everywhere...
always have used palmers and always will. love the stuff. i always felt like sex wax was just kinda like a marketing gimic. average summer joe blow goes into a surf shop to get wax for his $30 skim board or plastic fun board, sees sex wax, palmers, sticky bumps, and what ever brand. they pick sex wax purely based on the creative name of the product. im not hating on any particular brand here or anything i just kinda always had that theory on the popularity of sex wax.
Never liked sex wax...always seemed to flake off and separate way to easily. Palmers has been my standard for a while, but the new bubble gum formula is unbelievable. Super sticky almost to the point of a full on smear, but just so tacky! Love it...I too tried the punt/gu wax stuff and like it as a quick top coat/reapply around my pop-up area. Didn't like it as much with boots...but again its only a quick top coat application. My only problem with the bubble gum wax is that its pink...never really into the colored waxes... I know of some friends that like the quick application of the sex wax compared to the base coat/topcoat wax application...not me...base coat and top coat..always! No separation, flaking, etc.
Always liked Palmers just for the simple fact that it comes in a box which works nicely to keep it from melting all over the truck bed
ive never really ventured out and tried anything other than sticky bumps. however, i do plan on trying the other waxes to see if it rubs on my skin less because my chest and stomach are torn up right now.
Always stuck with sticky bumps, for both my boards and bodyboard. I can't get enough of that smell! But I've never tried Zoggs, always tried to stay away from what I thought was hyped - mostly for the name, but maybe I'll give it a go next time at the store.
Palmers or Sticky Bumps. Does anyone remember the Sticky Bumps ads that were in the old East Coast Surfing (free zine)? Speaking of which, whatever happened to that zine? It was a huge influence on my musical tastes as a kid (they had ads for bands like NOFX and Voodoo Glow Skulls).
Sex wax makes a great base and Ive used it since back in the day. For some reason the shops in my area never seem to get the right temp in stock during the coinsiding season so I went to Mrs P in the summer and SB in the winter.....
Sticky bumps for sure. Tried the bubble gum stuff and mixed it with my sticky bumps. haven't waxed my board since. i guess it worked really well haha. tad messy but its worth it
