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. It is also used to increase grip on the paddle of a surf kayak.
Surfboard wax is generally composed of a mixture of paraffin, beeswax or other hard waxes, often with exotic scents like coconut or bubblegum. Also available are natural alternatives containing only organic substances like beeswax, vegetable oils (such as coconut or hemp oil), pineresin and natural essential oils. Many different commercial brands and varieties of surfboard wax optimized for different climates and water temperatures may be found at a surf shop.
