Even though Fu-Wax has been around for decades at this point, I never saw it in any of my local surf shops until about 2020. After using it for the first time, however, my mind was blown. Who knew someone could elevate such a simple product so much!
While it may look similar to the other waxes on the shelf when making a selection, Fu-Wax is a true "if you know you know" product. After building some bumps with any basecoat of your choosing, a few swipes of Fu over the top (a little goes a long way) makes the deck extra sticky, creating a ton of board control and precision that's unmatched from any other product. This wax feels locked in and awesome under your feet when wearing booties, and also allows for less wax on your board while surfing in the tropics, making paddling more comfortable.
Surfers from myself to Kelly Slater swear by this wax, so be sure to pickup a bar next time you're at REAL and see what all the hype is about! (Keep your Fu in the freezer during those extra hot summer days, pro-tip from CT surfer Al Cleland Jr).
