Melting wax in Indo!!

Here’s another first world problem ladies and gentlemen. Up in Sumatra and the waters that warm the wax is smudging and melting, which ain’t that good for traction. Any crew have solutions?

Are you using local wax or tropical sex wax, ive never had a problem with tropical mrs palmers but the doldrums of the mentawais ive never been a part of.Where are you?

Maybe its not warm water wax, i believe the water this year is warmer than normal though.

Personally I've never had an issue with traction in warm water only cold water.

I guess only solution is wax more :D

I speak from experience that there's few things more distracting and frustrating than melting wax in warm water.

Whatever you do - bludge from friends or use your own - you're gonna have to strip all the current wax off and start again.

Blue sex wax. Tropical. The only solution I’ve found… booties.
