- Consider clean your board with fresh water from time to time, to clear the salt that can accumulate in the gaps.
- If there is no surf for a long time (unlucky you) give a warm shower before surfing or be a little more patience in the water
- After a fligh we trully advise you to also give Van der Waal a warm shower, because of airplane cargo hold lower temperatures.
Ready to go waxless?
You probably have a deep and lasting relationship with surf wax and probably have questions about Van der Waal. But, just to name a few, here are some advantages.
A clean board = a cleaner ocean
A board without wax means a board that is not melting oil to the ocean. So your board will not only be the coolest one, it will also be the greener one
It will last for ages
Once you apply it, you’re ready to surf for at least two entire years with almost no maintenance at all
No more melting wax
Because it doesn’t melt in the sun, it won’t stain other surfaces it comes in contact with, such as your surfboard bag, your car or your clothes
Your surfboard will shine
Doesn’t get sticky or dirty, weither gather sand, hair, or other debris, so your board is always clean
Temperature independent
No matter whether you are surfing in cold or hot water, the traction van der waal is indifferent to the temperature of the water or the environment.
Don’t waste more time
Just grab your surfboard and go surf. No more applying, scratching, re-applying, that old brown wax.
