Dear Anthony,
Do you have a secret recepie for making your own surf wax?
If so would you care to share it?

Dear Pikey,
I smell valley kook. Hey kook I have an idea, why don't you come to the central coast and so we can smoke your stupid kook-azz. Kook! Make your own wax? Why bother, valley kooks just give wax to us locs!

P.S. Here are a couple of great recipes for making your own wax, and if you put a little food coloring in it can really add a nice splash of color to that white board that keeps things under the radar *wink*.

Basic Surf Wax
Here are the ingredients:

Paraffin Wax
Microcrystalline Wax
Petroleum Jelly
Adhesive (Vistenex)
Small amounts of Scent and dye if you want a nice look / smell
Take all the ingredients and melt them down together at around 100F in the following proportions.

60-70% Paraffin
15-20% Microcrystalline
5-10% Petroleum Jelly
5-10% Adhesive
(Dye and Scent)

The reason that there is a range of percentages above is so that you can vary the mixtures to suit the water temperature in your region and the stickiness of the wax.

To adjust for temperature:
Warmer Water Temperature: Increase the amount of wax and decrease the amount of petroleum.
Colder Water Temperature: Increase the amount of petroleum and decrease the amount of wax.
The Microcrystalline wax and Vistenex give it the "stickiness".

Organic Surf Wax
Here are the ingredients:
Beeswax
Coconut Oil
Tree Resin

The mixture is 3 parts Beeswax, 1 part coconut oil and 1 part tree resin. Make in the same way adding the beeswax coconut oil and tree resin together and stirring well.
First melt the wax, then warm the oil and stir into the wax. Stir well, stir some more and then stir(get the idea!). Pour into Paper cups and let it set.
There is a temptation to use other vegetable oils. Don't bother. Coconut is the one.

P.S.S. If you use the organic formula it's also a great sun tan lotion!!! Just look at the results that I have had.
