Van der Waal is a modular surf grip traction pads that allows you to surf without the hassles of surf wax.
After changing the standards of surf industry by developing an alternative to surf wax back in 2016, and driven by our customers’ feedback on our surf grip and by our aim to produce a more eco-friendly alternative to surf wax, we started to research new materials.
After a lot of tests, we achieved a softer material, lighter and thinner, with high grip levels.
YOUR OCEAN DESERVES MORE
A surf grip for the environmentally conscious.
Imagine all the wax bars you ever used, melting into the ocean. Now multiply that with the number of surfers around the world.
A surfboard without wax means a board that is not melting oil (and other components) into the ocean, and also means less CO2 on transportation caused by fast-moving consumer goods.
"In fact, I felt like the grip with my new traction was actually better than that experienced with standard wax."
