Original 6-Pack | Basecoat

Sticky Bumps Original Basecoat is specially-formulated, harder wax used as a first layer that's crucial for proper wax build-up.

Basecoat is a universal, all-temp wax, but its harder formula is designed for building better bumps on a clean board as a base for temperature-specific surf waxes (from our Original Formula, Tour Series, Super Sticky, or Punt collections). Basecoat can be used under any softer, temperature-specific wax, and it is especially important to use under cool & cold water waxes for creating a good base of wax bumps on your surfboard. 

Engineered with the first-ever traction additive, Sticky Bumps Original surf wax delivers unmatched, long-lasting grip for your surfboard and sets the baseline for consistent tackiness in all conditions. Its superior durability resists melting and holds up during long sessions, while easy application ensures smooth coverage with minimal flaking.

From our founding in Encinitas, CA to our current zero-waste factory in Vista, CA, we’ve maintained a commitment to USA-made, handcrafted surf wax since 1971. Every bar of Sticky Bumps is biodegradable and non-toxic, made from the highest quality blend of natural tackifiers and natural mineral waxes for exceptional performance without harm to the world around us.
