Understanding Surf Wax: Single Application vs. Basecoat/Topcoat Systems
What's the Difference Between Hard and Soft Surf Wax?
- Soft Waxes: Offer increased stickiness, easier application, but may shift or wear off at pressure points on your surfboard.
- Hard Waxes: Provide less stickiness, are more challenging to apply, but remain firmly in place.
What Should Quality Surf Wax Offer?
- Moderate to high stickiness for better grip.
- Stable footing while surfing.
What is a Single Wax Application?
- Using a single type of wax formula at one time.
Limitations of a Single Wax Application:
- Softer, stickier waxes may offer less stability underfoot.
Is a Single Wax Application Sufficient?
- If a single wax meets your needs for stickiness and stability, no need to switch to a basecoat/topcoat system.
When to Opt for a Basecoat/Topcoat Combination?
- To enhance stickiness without compromising stability.
How Do Basecoat and Topcoat Combinations Work?
- A hard basecoat ensures foot stability and a durable surface to support a softer, stickier topcoat.
Rules for Basecoat/Topcoat Combinations:
- The basecoat must be hard enough to stay stable for the water temperature.
- Any softer wax can serve as the topcoat, provided it's softer than the basecoat.
