Nishii has encountered the most amazing wax in his 32 years of surfing.
Most WCT players used to use S◎X WAX, but I've heard rumors that recently everyone is using this.
However, even for WCT players, this wax is said to be difficult to obtain because it is made in Brazil.
This wax became world famous when Kelly used it to perform that perfect 10-point air in one maneuver at the WCT competition in New York.
In fact, it is difficult to obtain even in California, and is brought back from Brazil and sold privately for around $15.
If people find out I have it, they'll ask me to paint it for them, so
It's a valuable item that people say you shouldn't tell anyone you have!
So, what is so different?
It sticks to the surfboard like a suction cup, increasing the grip, so much so that you'll never want to use wax again.
This wax is clearly different. It doesn't have that nasty sticky feeling that transfers to your hands and clothes like most waxes currently on the market that are supposed to give you good grip.
Any brand of base wax can be used. We recommend using a hard wax.
"Use FU WAX as a top coat, applying it thinner than usual."
Just apply half the amount of the previous top coat and it will have a suction cup-like adhesive effect.
You may want to apply a lot, but a thin layer is enough.
The grip effect becomes even more pronounced when you're in the water, so while waiting for a wave, try placing your palm on the wax to make sure it doesn't slip, as you'll experience a suction cup-like grip effect. Compare it to boards used by people who have applied other waxes and the difference is clear. Furthermore, this FU WAX has a much longer grip than previous waxes.
This shipment was imported from Brazil via California, which means there are a lot of air freight charges, so it may seem expensive. The retail price at Luvsurf is 1,050 yen per bottle. If you apply it thinly and properly, you can easily use it for more than five surfing trips on a shortboard, so if you think of it as improving your surfing for just 200 yen per application, it will seem like a bargain.
Kelly really uses it too.
How to choose FU WAX, which is softer than other waxes:
*WARM in spring and seagull water temperatures
*3mm full and 5mm full and boots are COOL
*COLD is appropriate when the water temperature is about the same as when you are wearing gloves.
Love Surf, which will probably be the first to sell it in Japan, will start selling it this weekend!
