Wax on Tufflite

[bumfluff]

Is the duct tape for your mouth?

On the contrary. It's to tape my eyes open while I'm struggling through your posts.

It has nothing to do with traction whatsoever.

Touche. Now go ride your popout mongs board.

reapply regularly - i.e. each session. that's all there is to the story.

No. I'm going through a block of wax every couple weeks. Theres a difference between topping up your wax and having tonier about relax the whole board. After a sesh, the areas where my feet go are completely waxless. This doesn't happen on PU boards.

yep, that sounds about right - a block every two or three weeks.

have you ever seen a booger combing the wax on their lid? they apply every time they go in it seems.
softies are pretty much the same material, right?

One cake of Tropical Sex Wax for the base coat, One block of Warm water for the Goldy and one block of Base sex wax for the Sunny Coast....with Tropical on top...

so if you are in fact serious do you mean to say that you use different wax for surfing either the gold coast or sunshine coast?
like, the temperature drop from sunny to gold coast is first of all actually measurable let alone justifying reapplication of a different formula of wax ??
if you're for real here then you're a mong good and proper

Yea Iggy, I rewax my board from scratch every coupla days....

no wonder I'm ripping through the wax huh?

I've tried to be reasonable, I really have.
hopefully one of the IT fellas will insert a 'facepalm' image about here....

OK now I know why you ride a Mong board. You need room for your girlfriend..


BTW sorry to stoop to the Fluffy "lets post a stupid photo" mentality but it would seem that it is the only form of communication he can relate to..

[otway1949]

Go one colder and be careful of your shoulder as wax on wax off.

Are you taking the p*ss or does this one colder than normal thing actually work?

Also dumb question, but in winter, if you're already using cold water wax, is that enough? Or if you put a base coat of warm water with cold on top, would the base coat still come off?

No I wasn't but plenty of others are doing it for me. Sing to your board as you do it.

OK well can you explain why a cool water wax would work better while still in warm conditions?

If the warm water Plamers is already melting, wouldn't this make it worse? Or is not a case of it melting, but rather, it's just not STICKING to the super smooth surface of the tufflite?

If so, wouldn't a harder wax like a tropical be better for sticking to the board with a softer wax on top that won't go hard, like Palmers Tropical with a warm water Plamers on top? (I swear by Plamers and want to keep using it if I can)

Can I ruin this thread for you too?

My girlfreind is far more attractive than that middle eastern man. The Lama, sporting a life jacket with a handle on it however, is an accurate description of myself in the surf.

[Beanpole]

Does the lama prove that Thor Heyadal was right and the South Americans invented surfing?
Does this mean South American surfers have a similar relationship to their lamas as the one Kiwis have with their sheep?

[Davros]

Dont use a coat of Sticky Bumps cold water wax unless you are surfing the Artic circle as it turns to porridge above 16 degrees and its great fun picking the soft wax out of mattered hair all night.

so lids do get wax build up and require combing?
or are softies and lids made of of completely different and unrelated materials?

help me out here. i'm not up with the latest in board materials. i was confused and confounded upon ordering a board recently to discover that 'glassing was extra'.

[Skipper]

Give it a farken karate chop Fluffy!

[lessormore]

i was wondering where to post this as it covers a few of the recent frenzied topics but I settled on this one so here goes-
I've mastered all those sushi roll type aerials and was looking for something new for my repertoire and came up with this after watching "Herbie does BangBus 5" (is there nothing Lindsay Lohan can't do!)-
Upon taking off and bottom turning and awaitng the approaching foamball,you flip the board up on the outside rail and place one foot on the rail and the other on either of the fins( front or back) and proceed to rail-ride through the foam and out into the cheers of the frothing hordes, eagerly awaiting to learn and emulate your feat. Of course the board must be a quad as the rear fin allows extra control.
My problem is I need to wax the fins for foot grip but I don't want to add drag to them for other maneuvers , so I need a wax that has grip but no drag.
Can anyone help?
Here is a pic of what it should look like- just replace the car with a board-

LOM... Matey. Drugs are bad.. Just ask Bummy and Vommy.
