surfboard wax
Deck coating substance
Surfboard wax is a sticky substance applied to the deck of a surfboard to provide traction, preventing the surfer's feet from slipping.
Different formulations are made for different water temperatures—tropical wax is harder, cold-water wax softer.
Surfers typically apply a base coat followed by a top coat: I need to wax up before we paddle out.
