I am getting a longboard for my birthday and need to but wax. I will be surfing in Santa Cruz, CA and iwas wondering what type of wax i would use there. I have tried to look it up havent gotten any 100% answer. Thanks to anyone who helps.

Happy B-day Hopefully the gift giver is a surfer so you can ask him/her (hint: it depends on the water temp). if the said gift giver doesn't surf... well let's hope he/she gets the right kind of suggestions for picking out a surfboard for a beginner(I'm assuming you haven't surfed much if anything). I just had my B-day... maybe I really should treat myself to a new longboard too
