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).
Impressed it got delivered two days after placing the order, all the way to Hawaii at that. This stuff is hard to find over here in the warm water formula, so it’s worth paying the shipping charge to stock up.
This is the best Wax I've ever used I love it! It's so sticky and bumps up so well. The Wax lasts so long I use it to surf all season long. I highly recommend this Wax !!!
If you haven't tried this wax, you owe it to yourself to give it a go on your next session. Before using this wax I would fluctuate between the more popular brands and whatever was available (Sticky Bumps, Sex Wax, Mrs. Palmers, etc.). The first time I saw FU Wax and the associated price tag, I was a bit skeptical. $5.00 for a bar of wax? Why? I'll tell you--because its better. The grip and feel I get from this wax is bar none (no pun intended), the best I have ever experienced. The other key factor that really makes this wax worth the cost is its longevity and the amount that needs to be used. Your stickiness factor will last for hours and you literally can apply less wax than you do with the other brands, which in the long run makes it just about as cost effective but with so many added benefits. Grab a bar the next chance you get and you will likely never want to use another brand of wax.
I heard the hype about Fu Wax going into the summer waves and wanted to see what it was all about so I threw some on my board. I've surfed more than twenty times and I still have a quarter of it left; the extra cost is worth it because it's long lasting and works super well. I feel like I'm glued to my board on the wave.
