A crystal clear
alternative
to surf wax
Why should we worry about regularly maintaining our boards, adding top layers of wax before every session, using different waxes for different temperatures, finding melted wax sticking everywhere, and polluting our oceans just to enjoy our passion for surfing?
We believe we shouldn’t.
No wax surf traction pads
Never wax
your surfboard
again.
We have all been there… Melted wax on your car, surf bag or clothes. A surfboard full of old brown wax, mixed with sand, hair and other debris.
…or that time that waves were pumpin’ in a spot, and wax is over.
We believed it was possible to develop an alternative to surf wax that did not compromise our customers surf.
So we did it.
Surf grip. Redefined.
Van Der Waal is a crystal-clear surfboard traction pad that doesn’t melt, doesn’t stain, and doesn’t get sticky or dirty so your surfboard design will always shine. You will never find again melted wax on your car, surf bag, or clothes.
Apply it once and you will be ready to surf for almost 2 years with almost no maintenance, making our surf grip pads an eco-friendly alternative to surf wax.

“No more melting issues in a hot car, dramas with hire care upholstery, headrests, etc. No more nasty nasty on the sleeve of your fave Pharcyde hoodie, no more waxing the underside of the surfboard stacked above or below, referred to in the age of political incorrectness as the ‘Irish’ or ‘Chinese’ wax job.”

WAXLESS SURF GRIP
Your ocean
deserves more
Most of the average surf waxes are derived from bi-products from the crude oil and petroleum industry. This means they contain chemicals such as paraffin wax, petroleum jelly, microcrystalline wax, vistanex as well as synthetic glues, resins, dyes, and fragrances. Not to count with the CO2 emissions on transportation caused by fast-moving consumer goods.
Imagine all the wax bars you ever used, melting into the ocean. Now multiply that by the number of surfers around the world.
