How to Make Homemade Surf Wax?

Paraffin wax, Vasoline, and tree resin. Had to do it for a DP sesh last spring. Works ok, not worth the effort. Just buy $1 bars in bulk mail order.

Reading old posts on here, there seems to be a Wayne-type dude in NJ who will give you a free bar of wax at the break if you go up and talk to him. Don't do that.

 

How bout you answer your own rhetorical questions and melt scented, colored candles? You'll still need something with adhesive properties. The paraffin/petroleum isn't enough on it's own. It'll give the board some texture but won't be sticky hardly at all and will easily smear since it's really not sticking together. You need the tree resin or equivalent. Just go to the surf shop and buy bars. Or borrow some at the break. Just not from old dudes or ones with latex people in the backseat.

That is the recipe which we invented in 1994 and gave to the surfing community. I've been using it for 20 years. We also do cooler water wax with tree resin added.

 

Grom brah, if you don't need it at this time but want to make it for gits and shiggles, wait til you have the right ingredients.

 

Wax making is very messy and gets all over everything. Trust me. Shell out the dollar and support the wax bros. If you live with a woman and try to make wax, she will go absolutely nuts. Trust me. Just sayin".

 

not only is it messy, but good surf wax is engineered by chemists specifically for surfing...not just candles melted down by some dudes and put in a pretty package. Don't do it - it's a waste of time.

However, you can save the end pieces of your surf wax (the stuff leftover that's too small and soft to still apply), until you have enough to re-melt and make a bar or two. Depending on how much you surf, saving enough for this can take a while, but you'll get there...eventually

 

I'm not sure why you'd want to do this other than perhaps out of curiosity or as a science experiment. The cost savings, if any, can't be all that much.
But who knows? You might come up with a whole new, improved, and marketable blend. Some inventions and product improvements have been created in such a manner.
Just be sure to clean up the kitchen and your mom's pots and pans when you're done.

 

Please, oh god, please stop saying grom brah, everytime I read that it makes me want to hate you Emass, and I really want to love my neighbors.

I found a way to kill 2 birds with one stone, everybody relieves themselves when nature calls, collect your baby batter in a jar until you've filled it, add some butter and heat to a boil. Let cool and spread some real sex wax on your stick.

 

Grom Brah (sorry had to say it for Koki!) are you making Sex Wax to put on your stick for a night with some little Jr High honey? I imagine Wayne has some recipe he uses with the kiddies he could give ya.

Hey sparky isn't it past your bedtime?

As for the wax recipe: throw in some of your momma's pound-jar of KY lube & that oughta congeal that shiiiite nicely.

 

Yankee KY is oldschool, all the hip moms are using this:

Don't forget to add some cayenne pepper to the mix. Maybe Erock's hot sauce too.
