Doesn't look like this question has been asked in it's own thread for about 5 years. Maybe some products have come and gone since then?

Anyway, what's your preferred wax?

I don't really have a preferred, but have an OCD thing where I really dislike mixing waxes, so generally use Sex Wax - 'cause it's available everywhere.

Well, this thread stopped quicker than anticipated.

I don't know if I've ever seen (or noticed) Cream wax - I'd be keen to give it a try. Where do you lot buy it from?

Somehow this piece of news from you AL isnt surprising at all.
More or less expected.

Imo. Cream smells. Its got good grip but in the qld heat it tended to melt down in blob.
So next time you go for a surf youve got issues. Wax combing etc.

Ted gave mac and myself some - we did use a couple times from memory

Any stores carry Cream wax?
while the majority of my quiver appears to be offshore pop outs, i
micj prefer to buy from brick n mortar stores than online.

I did start using 'organic' brand wax, and quite liked it, but my daughter seemed to have a reaction to it one day.

On the hippie comment, the way I burn through wax, I would prefer something 'eco friendly'... but that doesn't smell like patchouli oil! I ain't that much of a hippie!

Did your daughter come home with dreads and start listening to Bob Marley music.

Yeah, some places sell it, there used to be a link to shops that do on his website. I usually buy it direct though.
