I, FUAD MANSUR, am the only person who can create FU WAX.
FU WAX is the result of years of hard work and research into various combinations and their results. I grew up as a surfer in three Brazilian cities (Rio, Santos, and Guaruja), where surfing was already a part of the lifestyle for many young people. This was in the late '60s and early '70s, and there were also pioneers in the '50s and '40s.
We, the Mansurs brothers, Elizas, Wady and Fuad, respected surfers. We had an impact on the surfing industry. We had a surf shop in Rio called MANSURF. It was just our name (MANSURS) spelled with an "F". We sold all surfing accessories. We made board shorts, t-shirts, shirts, leashes, and more.
Wax was already an essential surfing commodity, but it was unavailable in Brazil - it had to be imported from the USA or made in someone's kitchen (which caused problems).
There were companies in Brazil that started producing wax, but they found it difficult and unprofitable. They all knew that wax was like bread, it took time and effort, and it was difficult to make well.
My idea didn't make me any money, but I continued making them for my friends.
Wax is an essential part of surfing.
Fu is an abbreviation of my name FUAD.
I started making wax in my parents' garage. The funny thing is, I'm not a shaper or glasser so no one trusted me. I just kept making it as a job and after a few years, other products were on the market.
One day, I was mixing different ingredients in my lab and an opportunity struck. It was almost by accident. I created a mixture unlike anything I had ever made before. It had a super sticky, grippy texture. Super Sticky Wax was born.
But I didn't think it was time. The adhesive power was so great that no one needed it yet, but surfing is a sport that is constantly evolving and changing, so I said that one day people would think it was necessary for maneuvers too.
Wax, which had previously been ignored by everyone, is starting to gain popularity among young surfers with amazing moves.
It was like magic.
(Tom Carroll and Martin Potter)
It started in Brazil, then WCT pros brought it back, exposing Brazil's secret wax (and word spread), and now many professional surfers use this high-quality ``FU WAX.''
"FU WAX" is very famous among WCT players.
We make our products in a small lab in the town of Guarujja, Brazil. All our products are handmade and of the highest quality.
I am the only person who can create the original FU wax in the FUAD MANSUR laboratory in Brazil.
