Van der Waal - Surf Grip – A surf wax alternative

A clear alternative to surf wax.

We are the ones who will no longer settle.

The ones who dream of a place where the old norms evolve, where innovation meets sustainability, where design complements nature, where performance and purpose flow together.

Our Manifesto Buy now

Say goodbye to the hassle of constantly applying, scratching, and re-applying that old brown 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.
