A clear alternative to surf wax.
We have all been there… Melted wax on your car, surf bag or clothes. A surfboard full of old brown wax, mixed with sand, hair and other debris.…or that time that waves were bombing in a spot, and wax is over.
We believed it was possible to develop an alternative to surf wax that did not compromise our customers surf. So we did it.
Say goodbye to the hassle of constantly applying, scratching, and re-applying that old brown wax.
Why should we worry about regularly maintaining our boards, adding top layers of wax before every session, using different waxes for different temperatures, finding melted wax sticking everywhere, and polluting our oceans just to enjoy our passion for surfing?
We believe we shouldn’t.

Van Der Waal is a crystal-clear surfboard traction pad that doesn’t melt, doesn’t stain, and doesn’t get sticky or dirty so your surfboard design will always shine. Apply it once and you will be ready to surf for almost 2 years with almost no maintenance, making our surf grip pads an eco-friendly alternative to surf wax.

Your surfboard will not only be the coolest one, it will also be the greenest one.
Because 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.

from 68 reviewsThese pads are the best! On every board now and into the future. Ordering another set right now.
Amazing product, third time I’m buying it!
I was a little ceptic about ir but ir works great
Quick to arrive and great product. I was unsure at first but now love the feel and grip. Will be ordering for my other boards.
Fast shiping and good item!!
I am so glad to have my surfboard always with a good looking and no need to clean once in a while...
These work great in all conditions. It is shocking how grippy they are considering how thin they are. So nice not to wax my board.
Absolut fantastic! I'm so happy that I can do something for our oceans and planet. The grip is good! I was, like you described, kind of annoyed to change the tax because of the temperature, or it was melting away in summer. I love it! Hope to inspire other surfers to change ☺️
I used it for my pumpfoilboard
The grip is fine once they have activated by exposure to water, just allow a good 15mins for the first session, and then the first 5mins or so thereafter. Before they activate it’s a little like paddling a bar of soap 🙂.
Works fine on my catch foamie.
I was concerned if the pads stick properly, but after a few sessions it looks good
Just ordered another set because the first set of the wax pads works so well.
This is my fourth surf grip. I bought the first one in 2019 and it is still on my first board. I just bought a fourth board and I'm so happy that I bought these grips again. They are easy to install with the template and it sticks for a long time. They are transparent and you can see the board. They are perfect for surfing, no worries we are well glued to the board during the sessions. No sac on clothes or in the car. I recommend them
Bought it for my Dads birthday and he loved it works great!!!
bought some a couple years ago, wore them out so I got more. So much better than wax as it does. not melt in your car or in your board bag
Surf wax costs more than you think.
Beyond the pollution it causes and the mess of melting and grab all debris around it, wax is not as cheap as you think.
