Our surf deserves more
A clear alternative to surf wax
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.
The lighter, thinner& softer versionof our surf grip.
After changing the standards of surf industry by developing an alternative to surf wax back in 2016, and driven by our customers’ feedback on our surf grip and by our aim to produce a more eco-friendly alternative to surf wax, we started to research new materials.
After a lot of tests, we achieved a softer material, lighter and thinner, with high grip levels. We called our new surf traction pads version r.Evolution Series.
Never wax your surfboard again
Van der Waal grip is built for (and in collaboration with) surfers who rip on the same board for a long time. Because once you apply it, you’re ready to surf for at least two entire years with almost no maintenance at all. And no matter whether you are surfing in cold or hot water, Van der Waal traction is almost indifferent to the water or the environment temperature.

I am so glad to have my surfboard always with a good looking and no need to clean once in a while...
These work great in all conditions. It is shocking how grippy they are considering how thin they are. So nice not to wax my board.
Absolut fantastic! I'm so happy that I can do something for our oceans and planet. The grip is good! I was, like you described, kind of annoyed to change the tax because of the temperature, or it was melting away in summer. I love it! Hope to inspire other surfers to change ☺️
I used it for my pumpfoilboard
The grip is fine once they have activated by exposure to water, just allow a good 15mins for the first session, and then the first 5mins or so thereafter. Before they activate it’s a little like paddling a bar of soap 🙂.
Works fine on my catch foamie.
I was concerned if the pads stick properly, but after a few sessions it looks good
Just ordered another set because the first set of the wax pads works so well.
This is my fourth surf grip. I bought the first one in 2019 and it is still on my first board. I just bought a fourth board and I'm so happy that I bought these grips again. They are easy to install with the template and it sticks for a long time. They are transparent and you can see the board. They are perfect for surfing, no worries we are well glued to the board during the sessions. No sac on clothes or in the car. I recommend them
Bought it for my Dads birthday and he loved it works great!!!
bought some a couple years ago, wore them out so I got more. So much better than wax as it does. not melt in your car or in your board bag
Hey guys. Thank you for delivering the package to indonesia. Finally the pads are on my board and i couldn't be more surprised how well they work. It was a good decision to choose your product. One lil thing, maybe 2-4 more pads would be cool having on the board. But nevertheless best decision. Thank you, guys
happy, placed on a second board. I recommend
I love these grips! I put the shortboard pack on a 7ft board that has no tail traction pad, so it might be nice to have a few more of the stickers, but that's my mistake. It's nice to finally be able to see the fun color of my board without a coat of grimy wax on top. I highly recommend Van der Waal!
I applied these to a Catch Surf brand foam board and the adhesive is holding up. As a relatively new surfee, Ive never used wax so i cant make a comparison, but i feel that these keep me on the board alittle better. I would have preferred that the placement tool be plastic, as the paper is flexible and requires alot more concentration to make sure it remains aligned; not a big deal, i just dont see why not even if it had to cost a dollar more. Shipping to the united states from this company was under two weeks.
