Honeycomb Wax Mat Kit, no Mess Surfboard Wax Alternative

For me, this was a perfect solution. I live in SoCal, and I surf at lunch every day. I bring my board to work...and even with an insulated board bag, I get some wax melt. Fed up, I finally researched waxless alternatives. One of my friends had this on one of his boards, and said it worked well. I bought three kits for a 5’10” seaside so that I could customize to fit my board exactly. I had some leftover, but three kits was needed for the job to do it how I wanted. I’m super happy with the grip. If you’ve been surfing a fair amount of time, you’ll stick well. I highly recommend for those that are decently experienced and need something like this to fit a specific need. I’ve never slipped, and my wetsuit sticks well. I have an xcel drylock x ...so the smoothie front adheres well. I plan to do some of my other boards with this. Glad I finally tried it. It feels like I stick as well as wax. Longevity wise, I cant speak to how it holds up. So far, so good. There aren’t many reviews for this, so I kinda went out on a limb to try it out. Money well spent. No more changing out wax every few weeks, no waxing every day, if it gets dirty, scrub it with a scrubby and some dish soap. Get it if you have the need. You won’t regret it. Super legit.

I've only tried to surf with it a few times in the summer when just wearing boardshorts. after a few days, I started to a rash. But if you are wearing a wetsuit, they work great. pretty grippy. not as grippy as wax but without all the hassle.They look great when I first put them on but now it is starting to turn a yellowish color. In LA we sometimes get these oil spots so I'm not sure if it was due to that or the sun causing the yellowing

I've used many front traction pads and these are the best. They are thin and conform to the board well and they feel very tacky. Only cons I've seen is that you have to make sure your feet aren't oily. I good rub in the sand or slipping off the surface once or twice fixes this and then you're all good.

Not as good as wax in Cold water climate w boots and wetsuit. Half as good I would say. Used in warm water also w a bit of wax and was good.Update now after some use... I actually like it for a base and very durable. I use wax on top of it. EPS and tufflite boards can have issues w wax not staying on w heat etc but this is great. Again not as good as wax with boots on in cold water.

I am always looking for a good wax for my surfboards that do not make a huge mess!!! I think I found it;) It works great I just add a lil extra wax on top!

My wife has the Rspro traction pads on her board and I have these. The rspro have a sandpaper like texture while the surfco have a tacky texture that’s reminiscent of wax. We definitely prefer the surfco pads. They have worked well for me in combination with using a wetsuit and booties and it’s great not to have to bother with wax. I was a little worried before buying them that they might not stick well to my soft top, but I have full confidence in them now after applying and using them. Not worried about them falling off. I used 3 packs to cover about 70% of my 7 foot board with a few pads left over. The full hexagon pieces can be cut with scissors to make half pieces. Overall, highly recommend these. Would definitely choose these over rspro if you’re considering both.

My 5'11 still needs about another half of a kit to cover the needed area, so plan accordingly if you decide to purchase. The product description is misleading with it's recommendation of one kit for a shortboard. Seems sticky enough, though.

Not as tacky as wax but does have grip. My foot did slide a little bit a few times, maybe because it was the first few waves of the morning and new board with no foot pressures. Been putting a light skim of wax for now and am happy.
