I have been using Stick It bubblegum wax and it is great stuff. Just wondering if there is something better?
Yep i agree, palmers 5 daughters, was always the favourite but as ted said now owned by BB.
I've been using Far King, somoene told that the Far King wax is made by the people who used to own palmers, seems pretty similar. Pretty reasonably priced to, unlike the ridiculous price that Palmers is now
I used sticky bumps for a fair while and it was good 2.
And also Alex some are Chemical based, sex wax etc and some are natural, palmers etc.
If you put one over the other they just turn into a big mess.
I'm no wax connoisseur. I buy off a mob on ebay called Sanctum. Equates to $2.80 a block now (used to be under $2 a block) delivered to my door and I've had no issues with it.
I use Sticky Feet - but ended up with a tonne of Sex Wax as part of a Chrissy pressie.
I am currently using a hard/firm/soft layering of SW at the moment and it seems OK.
Having said that, I use a wax comb every second surf or so, so as long as the base coat is good I'm happy.
Mate of mine rubs beach sand into his wax - but he always wears a wettie...
I just bought a new board and decided to put down deck pads for both feet. I always smash up my decks really quickly with my heavy feet so hopefully the pads will help.
These days I don't wax up much at all. I used to always wax boards but these days I find I just hit a board with a shell on the way down. Criss cross with with a shell. Get any old wax onto the bloody thing usually if the shell just isn't doing its thing anymore.
But if it's a good surf and you don't want to leave anything to chance... I like farking or sticky feet.
Im using sw hard wax as my base wax and stick it as my soft I fined it really good. But dad used the sw hard wax with the sw soft dream cream and he said it's just to sticky and when you are carrying the board to and from the beach the wax sticks to your arm and stays on it making your arm sticky as crap and not being able to get it Off for days which becomes extremely annoying...
I just ran out of the stick it wax might give the far-king wax a shot.
I haven't used wax for over a decade, except for on my mini-mal. It's such a waste of time and effort.
I have been using Ransom wax, super sticky and has been awesome in the coldwaters of France over the summer. I also use palmers when the shops sold out of Ransom
I have been using predominantly SW but want to try something more environmentally friendly. Palmers is good and sticky. Recently got a couple of yellowed old blocks local surfshop made ones with a longboard I bought. Going to try leaving it out in the sun and hopefully re use them!
I've been using STicky feet. Mostly as when ever i buy a board they give you a heap of it for free
I still have heaps to go so either i don't wax enough or need to slow down on spending
Remember the old strawberry fields wax, you would always see people sniffing the stuff
