Does Fu wax work in cold water?
Fu Wax USA Cold Water Control Surf Wax is designed for water temperatures of 55°F and below. This ultra-soft, tacky wax is ideal for surfers who brave cold waters without booties or anywhere temps drop into the 40s. You can wax your board before each session if you see fit to do so. Now, with that logic, we highly recommend that you do a full cleaning and re-waxing every two to three months. Unless you surf every day and wax every day, then we recommend cleaning your board slightly more often per season/year.How often you wax your surfboard is mostly up to the temperature of the water you’re surfing in. The warmer the water, the more will melt and wear off the board while you’re using it. Expect to clean and re-wax your board quarterly as build-up of old, non-sticky wax can prevent new wax from sticking.It’s important to wax your board after completing base repair and edge work, as well as throughout the winter season to ensure your board glides smoothly. Waxing every three or four outings is a good practice.The first layer of surfboard wax is called base coat and forms the base so that your wax can hold on the board. For this you best use a base coat wax intended for this purpose. If you don’t have one, you can also use a “tropical wax” for warm water temperatures.
What temperature is tropical fu wax?
Product Info. Fu Wax USA Summer Water Tropical Surf Wax is designed for water temperatures between 79°F and 90°F. As the water temp decreases the wax tends to get harder and can get slick so you need a wax that is soft and will stay soft and not get hard in cold water. So with that in mind, Tropical and Warm water wax are harder waxes than Cool and Cold water waxes, Tropical being the hardest wax and cold being the softest wax.As I’ve always understood it the temp rating is for the range where the wax is just starting to get pliable, a bit soft and tacky enough to grip, but still a long way off from truly melting. Warm/tropical will be hard as a rock and real slick so you just slide all over in colder water.For longer-lasting results, hot wax removes hair from the root more effectively. For convenience and portability, cold wax is more convenient because it does not require pre-heating and comes in ready-to-use strip format. For coarse hair, hot wax because it adheres better.There are two different types: soft wax and hard wax. Although both do a good job of removing hair from the follicle, hard wax is better for smaller, more sensitive areas like your bikini line. Soft wax, on the other hand, is a better option for larger areas like your legs.
