Sex Wax, Surf Wax
the worlds most popular surf wax
Mr. Zogs Sexwax is a specially formulated wax used to coat the deck of a surfboard and provide traction between the surfers feet and the surfboard.
There are different waxes depending on water temperature. In Ireland, Cold to Cool ( 9 degrees to 20 degrees, which comes in the little purple cardboard box ) covers the conditions / is the most popular wax for most of the year anyway.
The x-cold to cold wax ( yellow box ) is for water temp 14 degrees c. and below. This is an extreme soft wax.
The cold to cool ( purple box ) is for water temp 9 degrees c. to 20 degrees c. This is an extra soft wax.
The cool to mid-warm wax ( green box ) is for water temperature 14 degrees c to 23 degrees c.
The mid-cool to warm ( orange box) is for water temp 18 degrees c to 26 degrees c.
The warm to mild tropic wax ( red box ) is for water temp 21 degrees c to 29 degrees c. This is a hard wax.
The "Tropic or Basecoat" wax ( blue box ) is extra hard and for water temperatures 26 degrees celcius and above, or for use as a basecoat in Irish waters.
Why is it called Sexwax?
In the very beginning, many decades ago, Californian Zog asked friend and artist, Hank Pitcher, to design a label for a new surf wax. Not one to shy away from controversy, Hank came up with a visually intriguing logo bearing the name “Sex Wax”. Hank liked the name because it sounded phonetically cool. Zog liked it because it was attention-grabbing, absurd, and a great spoof on Madison Avenue’s not so subtle attempts to use sex to sell a product.
Naming the product “Sex Wax” has led to some hilarious misunderstandings, some great stories, and some amazing letters from satisfied, but confused, customers. There are those who have been offended by the name and refused to purchase the product. There are those who have banned display of the logo at schools and family amusement parks. And then there are those who read the label and smile with the knowledge that the world needs all the humour it can get.
