Wax. It has a hard life.
Plucked from a surf shop shelf and furiously rubbed onto the deck of a board. Stood on by some mucky-footed young teenager less well-travelled than itself. Scraped off and discarded when a new season comes around (or worse, covered over in favour of some upstart pretender to the title, some 'new brand', the swine...)
I'm as guilty as I'd guess a lot of my peers are of not really looking at wax much beyond the traction it's going to give me at a certain time of year. But sometimes it's good to take something and stare deeper, which is what I just did...
Here at Gul we stock Matunas Organic surf wax. I've used this wax and can happily report that traction was A+, smell was 5 star, and the wax marks I left on my friends car seat were easily removable (board bags available from Gul here!) And after a little read up, it's good to know that what they claim on the wrapper is elaborated upon the website. Made using local ingredients? For me, it therefore joins the realms of all good chutneys and scrumpys.
So I highly recommend it.
