Rad Wax Base Coat Eco Surf Wax | Long Lasting Wax Base

The Foundation for Every Great Wax Job

Every great surf session starts with the right wax base. Rad Wax Base Coat Eco Surf Wax is designed to create a durable foundation that helps your topcoat last longer, providing better grip, improved durability and more consistent performance in all water temperatures.

Applied directly to a clean surfboard, the Base Coat builds a solid layer of textured bumps that allow your chosen Rad Wax temperature-specific surf wax to bond securely. The result is a longer-lasting wax job that delivers dependable traction from your first paddle out to your final wave.

Made using natural fruit waxes, botanical oils and tree resins, Rad Wax Base Coat is 100% free from petrochemicals, offering high-performance grip while supporting more sustainable surfing.

Why Use a Base Coat?

A quality wax job starts with a strong foundation. Without a proper base coat, your top wax can wear away more quickly, reducing grip and requiring more frequent reapplication.

Rad Wax Base Coat creates the textured surface needed for your temperature-specific wax to adhere effectively, helping your board stay grippy for longer while reducing wasted wax.

Whether you're surfing freezing winter swells or tropical reef breaks, a solid base coat makes all the difference.
