do you base coat wax your boards?

[southcoaster]

ive always just slaped on the old palmers, but my mate puts on the palmers cold water wax as i would then adds a warm water sex wax or something on top, who else does this?

ive found using the sticky bumps basecoat over where you would normally wax in a nice heavy layer so its nice and bumpy, then add the cold palmers over it and the palmers sticks much better, and you use lss of it, and got all the traction shape of the wax below it. Just my opinion though.

oh right so you put the warm water wax on as a base coat then cold might mounds on top or..? ive always just slammed it on and not cared but obviously makes a difference if loads of people do it!

if your using cold wax in cold water, and the water is cold enough to keep it firm and not move around and stuff, then yea its probally fine; but when the water is warmer and it gets all mushy and moves around and stuff, you want to use some basecoat so it stays in place and you end up using less wax. Ive surfed here where the water has been so warm I was just using basecoat, and it was melting off. Wasn't that fun, but it made me see the point in using the basecoat.

your all at the mercy of good ol' aussie surfing brands!! MWAHAHA!

Sry.... random

Umm.... I use Zogs Sexwax basecoat for the base (duh), then some nice hard Palmers Mighty Mounds on top

Nice hard little nipples

[southcoaster]

yeah i always like to lie on the hard nipples.. so what sex wax do you use?
has anyone tried putting wax on their feet, maybe that will work.............

[d3ad1y]

I use red-label Zogs..... I really just ask for the hardest wax they have

I heard that that foot idea doesnt work too well. Sand would get on any wax thats there.... and i imagine it wouldnt stick well to the feet, and would scape off first chance it gets.
