Famous Green Label surf wax

Surf wax is one of those items you don’t really think about much. Put it on the board and paddle out, so to speak. Problem is that you need to keep reapplying it because it comes off and is dispensed into the oceans. Not very ocean friendly if manufactured from petro-chemical based products.

Enter Famous Surf Wax and their green label line of eco-friendly surf waxes. It is a 100% petro-chemical free product that is completely biodegradable. This is an organic product, all natural and most importantly, earth friendly. Every surfer should be able to find a suitable one because it is available in five temperature from 60-Below F (15-Below C) to 78-Above F (25-Above C).

Even the packaging is recycled, FSC certified and printed with soy based inks.
