I've only ever used Sticky Bumps (cool and warm), and it works great for me. I've never felt the need to try anything else.

I usually use sex wax and love it, using sticky bumps at the moment (or at least i would be if there was any swell so in all fairness ive only tested the sticky bumps paddling not actually surfing!) it seemed fine but doesnt smell as nice as sex wax!

this month i have mostly been using cool water sex wax with a basecoat, i like palmers but find it a bit soft so it grips well but comes off to easy.
I miss bubblegum wax, that stuff smelt so they had to put a warning on the label not to eat it. Anyone know if you can still get it anywhere?

wax

Postby sir egg destroyer of lips » Sun Aug 06, 2006 11:35 am

my dad made the first surf wax in the uk, fat wax, back in the 70's and later made wax 4 kangaroo poo. i remember this wax being quite hard like tropical wax but it still worked. ms palmers is very easy to rub on the board but thats where the perks stop. there is no need for a wax 2 b that soft. i know a very reputable wetsuit manufacturer who wont use ms palmers because its so soft and sticky it sticks to a wetsuit and destroys it due to the petroleum content delamming the layers of neoprene. i use sex wax, it works perfectly at home and abroad, and does'nt destroy my wettie. i wonder if u r applying the wax properly, using a wax comb is a good idea.

TBH most wax brands are fine as long as you use the correct temp range... except Magma wax, which is 5hit. I drove for half an hour to a surf shop to get some wax and all they had was Magma - I said forget it! :P
