OVER 90 VERSIONS TO GET HERE

Most surf wax brands start with a marketing plan.

Mr Grippy started with frustration.

The goal was simple:

Build a wax that grips harder than anything else.

Three years.

90+ formulations.

Countless surf sessions.

One outcome:

Wax That Grips.

Mr Grippy started with a simple frustration.

Surf wax had become an afterthought.

Surfers were spending serious money on boards, fins and wetsuits, then trusting the connection between their feet and the board to whatever block of wax was sitting in the car, on the counter, or covered in sand rolling around in the parking lot.

That never made sense.

Wax is not just something you rub on the deck.

It change your whole surf. It changes how hard you can push. It changes how confident you feel when you are loading up through a turn, sticking a late takeoff, or trying to hold your line when the board hits some chatter.

Most surfers adapt to their wax without realising it.

If the grip is average, you compensate. You adjust your stance. You back off slightly. You make tiny corrections without thinking. Over time, you start surfing within the limits of the grip under your feet.

Mr Grippy was built to challenge that.

Over more than three years, we tested more than 90 formulations with one goal:

Build surf wax that grips harder, holds its structure, and performs in the water when it matters.

Not wax riddled with greenwashing claims, that performs poorly.

Wax that grips.

The result is a two-part system: PRO Base Coat and PRO Top Coat.

The Base Coat creates firm, defined bumps that hold their structure. The Top Coat adds the grip Mr Grippy is known for. Together, they create a complete setup designed for controlled, consistent traction underfoot.

The harder you push, the harder it works.

Mr Grippy has also been independently tested, with results showing up to 30% better grip than the market leader.

That testing matters because surf wax has been running on feel, habit and brand loyalty for decades. We wanted evidence. We wanted proof. We wanted to know whether the product was actually doing what it was designed to do.

Mr Grippy is designed and made on the Coal Coast.

Built by surfers.

Tested in real waves all over the planet.

Now stocked in surf shops and used by surfers who care about how their board feels under pressure.

This is not about reinventing surfing.

It is about paying attention to the one thing that connects you to everything else.

Your board.

Your fins.

Your rail.

Your next turn.

It all starts under your feet.

FAQ

BEST SURF WAX FOR GRIP

If you are searching for the best surf wax for grip, the answer depends on what you need from your wax.

Some surfers want scent.

Some want nostalgia.

Some just grab whatever is on the counter.

Mr Grippy was built for surfers who care about grip, pressure and performance underfoot.

Surf wax is not just something you rub on your board. It is the contact point between your feet and everything else: your board, fins, rail and next turn.

If your wax does not grip properly, you adjust without realising it.

You shift your stance.

You back off pressure.

You hesitate through turns.

You surf within the limits of the grip under your feet.

Mr Grippy was developed to raise that limit.

WHAT SURF WAX HAS THE BEST GRIP?

The best surf wax for grip is the wax that holds under pressure, works in the water, and gives your feet confidence when the board is moving.

Mr Grippy is designed as a two-part system:

PRO Base Coat builds firm, defined bumps.

PRO Top Coat adds controlled grip over the top.

Together, they create a reliable traction platform under your feet.

Mr Grippy has been developed over more than three years and more than 90 formulations, with one clear goal:

Wax that grips.

WHAT SURF WAX WORKS ACROSS MULTIPLE TEMPERATURES?

Water temperature changes can affect how wax feels.

If wax is too soft, it can smear and move underfoot.

If wax is too hard, it can lose tack and feel dead.

Mr Grippy is designed to perform across a wide range of surf conditions, with products developed for common Australian water temperatures.

The PRO Top Coat is designed for water temperatures from 16°C to 30°C.

The Base Coat is designed to create the foundation underneath, helping the wax job hold its shape while the Top Coat delivers the grip.

For many surfers, this means less changing wax and more confidence across changing conditions.

WHAT WAX DO COMPETITIVE SURFERS USE?

Competitive surfers usually pay close attention to traction.

At higher levels, wax is not an afterthought. Surfers often build their wax job carefully, using a base layer first and a top coat over it.

The reason is simple:

Grip matters most when pressure is highest.

Late drops.

Hard bottom turns.

Tight snaps.

Critical sections.

That is where wax has to hold.

Mr Grippy is built for surfers who want a reliable Base Coat and Top Coat system instead of treating wax as a last-minute add-on.

HOW DO I STOP SLIPPING ON MY SURFBOARD?

If you are slipping on your surfboard, check three things:

  1. Your board is clean enough for wax to bond properly.

Old, flattened or contaminated wax can reduce grip.

  1. Your base coat has firm, defined bumps.

A weak base layer gives your top coat nothing to hold onto.

  1. Your top coat matches the conditions.

Wax that is too soft or too hard for the water temperature can fail underfoot.

For the best result with Mr Grippy:

Start with a clean board.

Apply PRO Base Coat first.

Spend 5–10 minutes building firm, defined bumps.

Apply PRO Top Coat lightly over the bumps.

Surf.

The base creates the structure.

The top coat provides the grip.

BEST SURF WAX FOR COLD WATER

Cold water can make some wax feel hard, slick or slow to engage.

In cooler conditions, surfers usually need a wax that provides more tack and grip at lower water temperatures.

Mr Grippy is developing colder-water options for surfers who want more hold when water temperature drops.

If you are surfing colder conditions, make sure your wax is soft enough to grip but stable enough to hold bumps under pressure.

BEST SURF WAX FOR WARM WATER

Warm water can soften wax and cause it to move, smear or flatten under body heat and pressure.

This is why a proper base coat matters.

In warmer water, the Base Coat gives the wax job structure. The Top Coat adds the grip.

Mr Grippy PRO Top Coat is designed for water temperatures from 16°C to 30°C, making it suitable for a wide range of Australian surf conditions.
