Surfboard wax

Surfboard wax (also known as surfwax) is a formulation of natural and/or synthetic wax for application to the deck of a surfboard, bodyboard, or skimboard, to keep the surfer from slipping off the board when paddling out or riding a wave.

[2] Additionally, wax combs can have features such as fin key, bottle opener or a snap for portability (attachment to interior pocket loop, lanyard or leash attachment lanyard).

[3] Most surfboard wax comes labeled with a water temperature range for which it is ideal.

[4] Surfboard wax is applied by first putting a base coat onto the clean board.

This harder base coat forms a bump pattern on the surfboard to which the surfer will stick.
