New member, Old surfer. came onto the site for wax recipe looks good I will try this.
noticed comments about wax being so cheap so check this out, shopping in London yesterday and needed wax for a trip down to North Devon, I will arrive before local shops open and my board is in need of a coat. Walking down Regent St I spot Quicksilver with boards moving around the shop on a overhead belt system, Yep they should have some so cross the road nearly getting splatted by a large bus, asked the sales guy for wax he came back with an over the top "sure dude", like were did he roll in from, he gave me this smile that I knew was not going to be be good news, yer man (again what) £6.50 for 90g now when I lived in Huntington Beach I paid $0.50 I knew I should have bought a container load and shipped it back. the sad thing is I bought a bar.

Hi nicnoc26, welcome to Surfing Waves!

Ouch, that's London prices for you. I'd expect that sort of price for a 4 pack, and even then it would be pricey.
You could ship a load over from HB, but try affording a shop in Regent Street to sell them out of :-D

OUCH, thats a crazy amount of money. i tend to spend anywhere between £1-£2 for a block of sex wax! Most of the time a get free lump when I go surfing though so thats always nice. Did you buy some? If that was me I would've been cheeky enough to ask other surfers down there if you could either have some of theirs, or buy some from them!
