The Sustainability Problem With Conventional Surf Wax

Surf wax is a small part of a surfer’s gear, but its environmental footprint can be easy to overlook. For decades, much of the surf industry has relied on petroleum-derived paraffin and other heavily processed ingredients to create inexpensive, consistent wax at scale. These formulas may do their job on the board, but surfers are rarely given much insight into what they’re actually putting into the ocean.

As sustainability becomes more important to surfers, simply putting an “eco-friendly” label on a surf wax isn’t enough. The ingredients and sourcing behind the formula matter. We believe surfers should be able to understand what goes into their wax instead of choosing between performance and a more conscious approach to the products they use.

A More Thoughtful Approach To Surf Wax

Lax Wax was created around the simple idea that surf wax can perform with zero paraffin. We make our wax in small batches with thoughtfully selected ingredients and based with raw beeswax sourced locally from San Diego beekeepers, while keeping performance at the center of every formula.

Our cool water wax applies this approach to our very own West Coast type cooler waters. Our cool water surf wax delivers dependable tack for fall and spring sessions and year-round cool water surfers while maintaining the sustainability-focused foundation that Lax Wax is built around.

About Lax Wax’s Cool Water Wax

Lax Wax’s cool water surf wax is our temperature-specific top coat designed for cooler water breaks where warm water waxes brittle up and cold water wax mushes out. Our balanced formula provides the structure and tack needed for grip in cooler waters, suited for fall and spring sessions in SoCal and year-round use at cooler-water breaks.

Why Lax Wax’s Cool Water Over Traditional Brands

Lax Wax’s cool water is made with a balanced blend of beeswax and tree resin that stays live and tacky to perform year-round at cool water breaks.

A Balanced, Sustainable Formula

Our cool water wax is made with thoughtfully selected ingredients like raw beeswax, coconut oil, and tree resin, chosen with performance and sustainability in mind. Our formula provides grip without relying on petroleum-based waxes to give surfers a more intentional alternative to conventional surf wax.

Built For Cool Water Temperatures

Our cool water surf wax type sits right between the conditions that call for a dedicated warm or cold water wax, making it a perfect top coat choice for year round surfers in breaks known for waters you’d wear a wetsuit in. Our formula is meticulously balanced to create sticky bumps without becoming excessively soft, even if temps rise into the 70s. It’s a great choice when the water isn’t warm enough for warm water wax, but isn’t harshly cold enough to demand a softer cold water formula.

Ideal For Fall & Spring Sessions

In Southern California, water temperatures shift throughout the year but don’t ever quite make it up to Miami type temperatures, making cool water wax an all-around choice for the fall and spring. It’s built for those sessions when summer warmth has faded or winter’s cold hasn’t fully arrived, while also working year-round at breaks where cool water is the norm. If your local break is comparable and often falls between 60° and 72°, this wax type is right for you!

Our base coat surf wax is designed to build a strong, textured foundation that helps your top wax grip more effectively throughout your session.

Use it as a base layer underneath your topcoat, or on its own in warmer tropical water conditions above 78°F.

Our cool water surf wax is balanced for reliable grip in cooler water where warm water and cold water formulas aren’t quite the right fit. Its combination of softness and tack makes it a great choice for fall and spring sessions in SoCal and year-round surfing at cooler water breaks. Formulated for water temperatures ranging from 60°–72°F.

Our warm water surf wax is tuned for stability and consistent grip in higher temperatures and sun-exposed surf sessions. From tropical breaks to peak summer days in Southern California, it holds its structure and tack without getting overly soft. Best suited for water temperatures between 68°F and 78°F.

Our cold water surf wax is built for maximum grip in colder conditions where softer formulas are needed to stay sticky. With additional natural tackifiers and thanks to raw beeswax’s naturally sticky nature, it is designed to keep your feet stuck when water temperatures drop. Formulated for colder water temperatures, typically 65°F and below.
