FU USE TIP

Use Base Coat on a clean deck to make solid beads. The beads help give the top coat structure and keep the wax from smearing. Next, come across the tops of the base lightly, yes LIGHTLY, with your bar of Fu and cover all the beads and you’re done! A little goes a very long way.

ABOUT FU WAX

According to the creator of Fu Wax, Fuad Mansur, there was a distinct lack of surf shops and supplies during his childhood years in 1960s Brazil. This meant that if you wanted to surf, you had to shape your own boards, fasten your own boardshorts, and make your own wax.

And Fuad wanted to surf.

Like many surfers before them, the Mansur brothers of Fuad, Wady, and Elias started making a paraffin-based wax for their surfboards at home. After several years of tinkering in their grandparents’ garage, the boys realized that their paraffin solution was too slippery and ultimately dangerous to apply.

Then in the early ‘70s, Fuad, whose obsession with surfing made him determined to create a superior surf wax, decided to consult a chemist about the situation. After much contemplation, the chemist told Fuad about a secret material he should try in the construction of the paraffin base.

After 20 years of failed wax research and with no other form of employment, by 1987 Fuad had blown through his father’s inheritance, largely on the childhood fantasy of creating a perfect surf wax.

Then, with Fu Wax on the brink of bankruptcy, there was an accident in the lab. A raw material melted before its expected tipping point, leading to a premature liquification that would severely alter their wax solution.

This accident, by some infinitesimal chance, produced a paraffin that was ideal for surfboards. FU WAX was born.

After a successful beta-run in Brazil, the Mansur brothers decided to put this solution through the ultimate wax test – a surf in the freezing waters of Patagonia.

They traveled 1,600 miles with just three 80-gram bars of the new, accidental solution. On his first wave, Fuad felt a sense of grip and security he’d never experienced before. Entranced by the sensation, he surfed until well past dark, eventually collapsing with hypothermia and being hospitalized for two days.

During his time in the infirmary, Fuad developed a slogan for his new creation: Tack Taken Seriously.

The new Fu Wax was a 10/10.
