You can use bubble gum, tar, peanut butter, etc. Whatever floats your boat.

Or to save ever having to wax your board again, just coat the deck in epoxy resin, let it get tacky and then pour a load of sand all over it......

Or not.................

ahh man, just in case you are serious....please dont use candlewax, there is a very good reason surf wax was invented!

If, in the name of science you do decide to go down the bubblegum route - can you post pics of your attempt please? :D
It would be mucho appreciated :wink: Thanks

surf wax is specially formulated for certain water temperatures. candle wax is not, so it could end up just falling off when your paddleing around. bubble gum does not have this problem, and is probably the best alternative. :D
