Ultra-Sticky Grip Built to Last
Mrs. Palmers Tropical surf wax is Australia's leading grip, formulated specifically for warm tropical water temperatures. The secret is a proprietary traction additive blended into the wax that increases stick factor well beyond standard paraffin formulas. The more you rub it in, the better it gets, and that grip does not break down during extended time in the water. Whether you are on your first wave of the morning or your twentieth, the deck stays grippy.
The Traction Additive Difference
Most surf waxes rely solely on a bumpy wax texture that can flatten out during long sessions. Mrs. Palmers ultra-sticky formula includes a traction additive that works alongside the wax structure, so even as the bumps smooth from foot traffic, grip performance remains consistent. The result is a wax you can trust from paddle-out to final wave.
Tropical Water Formula
Surf wax hardens or softens based on water temperature, and using the wrong temperature rating leaves you slipping or struggling to build a good coat. The Tropical formulation is engineered for the warm water conditions found in South Florida and similar climates. It lays down cleanly, bonds to the board, and stays pliable enough to keep delivering traction without melting into a slick film.
How to Apply Mrs. Palmers Wax
Start with a clean, dry deck. Apply a base coat of a compatible cold-water wax in a circular motion to build a foundation of bumps, then layer the Tropical wax over it with the same circular and cross-hatch strokes. The more surface area you cover with small bumps, the better the final grip. Mrs. Palmers 70g bar is sized to do the job on a standard shortboard or longboard without waste.
