FCS Surf Wax Cold Single
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for Cold Water Grip
The FCS Surf Wax Cold is formulated specifically for water temperatures below 14C (58F). Its XSOFT hardness profile allows it to stay pliable and tacky in cold conditions where harder waxes turn slick, giving you reliable traction from the first paddle out to the last wave of the session.
FCS developed this wax in collaboration with the world's leading surf athletes and surfboard shapers, bringing the same precision they apply to fins and accessories to every block of wax. The result is a formula that builds quality beads consistently, session after session.
Quality Bead Building
Proper wax texture comes down to bead formation. FCS Cold Wax builds structured, even beads that lock into the deck of your board and stay there. The natural ingredient base helps the wax adhere without residue buildup that can smear under pressure, so your feet get grip rather than slip.
Natural Ingredients and Coconut Scent
FCS uses natural ingredients in this wax formula, keeping the block free from unnecessary synthetic additives. The coconut scent is a recognizable signature of the FCS wax range and carries through the entire session.
Part of the Full FCS Temperature System
The Cold block is one part of the FCS four-temperature wax system, which also includes Cool, Warm, and Tropical formulas plus a Base Coat option. Using the Base Coat first creates a premium textured foundation that extends the life of your top coat and improves overall grip. Each temperature block is hardness-matched to its water range so you are never applying a wax that softens or hardens beyond its intended performance window.
Sustainable Packaging
Every FCS Surf Wax ships in 100% recycled packaging. The block itself is Made in the U.S.A., so the supply chain is short and quality control stays in-house.
How to Apply FCS Cold Wax
Start with a clean, dry board. If building a fresh coat, apply the FCS Base Coat first using circular strokes to create texture across the deck. Follow with the Cold block, using the same circular or crosshatch pattern until a consistent bead layer covers the standing area. Reapply a light coat before each session to refresh grip. Remove old wax with a wax comb and the appropriate temperature block when the buildup becomes excessive.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What water temperature is FCS Cold Surf Wax designed for?
- FCS Cold Surf Wax is formulated for water temperatures below 14C (58F). It uses an XSOFT hardness profile to stay pliable and tacky in cold water where harder wax compounds lose grip.
- What is the difference between FCS Cold Wax and the other FCS temperature waxes?
- FCS makes four temperature-specific wax formulas: Cold (below 14C/58F), Cool, Warm, and Tropical, plus a Base Coat. Each block is hardness-matched to its water temperature range. Using the wrong temperature wax can result in a coat that is either too soft (melts and smears) or too hard (will not bead up), so matching the block to actual water temp is the key.
- Do I need a base coat with FCS Cold Wax?
- A base coat is not required but is recommended for a fresh board or after removing old wax. The FCS Base Coat creates a textured foundation that helps the Cold block bond more firmly to the deck, improving grip longevity and reducing the frequency of full rewaxes.
- What are the ingredients in FCS Surf Wax Cold?
- FCS Cold Surf Wax is made with natural ingredients. The complete ingredient list is printed on the product packaging. The wax is coconut scented and manufactured in the USA.
- How do I apply FCS Cold Surf Wax?
- Apply to a clean, dry board using circular or crosshatch strokes until an even bead layer covers the standing area of the deck. For a fresh wax job, apply a base coat first. Refresh the top coat lightly before each session. Use a wax comb to remove excessive buildup when needed.
- Where can I buy FCS Surf Wax Cold?
- FCS Cold Surf Wax is available at Island Water Sports in store and online. Island Water Sports is South Florida's full-service surf shop.
- Is FCS Surf Wax eco-friendly?
