That stuff will tear your skin up. I prefer velcro. A layer on your deck and little strips on your reef booties works great. I velcro'd my rash guard but I could'nt pop up. It also keeps your tin foil helmet on to stop all those unwanted voices in your head.
i like to go all natural. right before you surf bang your wife/gf but then let loose on your board and its all sticky and ready to go.
Hey while we're testing surfing without the wax why not test out surfing without the leash, or the fins, or maybe boards that aren't event glassed....push your theory to the extreme and inform us of your results
how about a carbon fiber board with no fins only perpellers, foot straps, built in gps with a swellinfo app. lights for night surfing and a horn ! to let people know not to drop in. the leash is a hard one to figure out. i would to hear other ideas about a leash
just wondering what you dont like about wax? i enjoy waxing up while getting ready to paddle out, its like a part of the process...plus it smells awesome, i dont get what there is not to like
Any shop selling wax for more than a dollar should be ashamed of themselves!!!!!! thats why i buy online. Just not right
haha your so right thats a great idea ... Everyone chill out btw i dont hate wax, i also love caressing my board while enjoying the sweet smell of sticky bumps... there nothing wrong with thinking outside the box
Sticky Bumps blows Mrs. Palmer's all day long homie. (u read that however you want to...) Add this to your research & development: 1. make cutouts & drop some magnets in your blank at pre-destined locations then glass your board. 2. get some sq. yard scraps of refrigerator magnet material & stitch up some sick rashguards & super thin booties. 3.Test away (i hear magnets are great for circulation & balance, just like those little bracelets on TV<-- 2 great selling points right there) Hope you're ready to retire, Its get money time dude
True. Mrs. Palmer makes a brand called mighty mounds by far the best wax ever , works in all temp and forms perfect bumps ...... my local surf shops don't carry it .. s.b. is best I got
Have been using this stuff and I like it . I got a bunch of it for chirstmas and really surprised how good it is http://palmettosurfproducts.com/index.html
Nothing like waxing up a fresh board, or even re-waxing a board for that matter. I receive free wax here and there, and im not really worried about the cost. I just hate a dirty board, which i why i believe that the next thing is going to be wax that doesn't get dirty; i just hope they keep the smell. Oh, and by the way, by far the best wax is bubblegum surfwax. Sticky bumps smears and gives me rashes, ms palmers is too flakey, palmers and S a D, and...uh..sex wax is terrible. Oh and who uses base coat? Now thats a waste of $$$$
the last board I bought, the guy in the shop was like "Here you go, you can have a free bar of wax if you'd like"... keep in mind this is after I had just dropped $390 for a board. lol I didn't want to be a jerk but in my head I'm like "gee thanks mister!"
I put skateboard grip tape all over my board, works great!!! I am also working on installing an amp and some speakers on my board.
I tried sanding it with 60 grit (saw this on a website). Actually works pretty well. I did this on an old board, as I find it hard to mess up a brand new board. Not too bad on your chest either. Just do a little by little, until it has the desired grip.
