Sticky Johnson Deluxe Basecoat Surf Wax

Build the perfect foundation for reliable surfboard traction with Sticky Johnson Deluxe Basecoat Surf Wax, a premium New Zealand-made basecoat designed to create firm, tightly formed wax beads beneath your regular surf wax.

Developed to work with the Sticky Johnson Deluxe Surf Wax range, this specially formulated basecoat provides a solid foundation for your preferred Cold, Cool, Warm or Tropical topcoat.

Unlike regular surf wax, which is designed to provide the tacky surface your feet grip, Sticky Johnson Deluxe Basecoat creates the firm underlying texture that helps your topcoat adhere to the surfboard.

By establishing a consistent layer of tightly packed wax beads, the basecoat helps build a durable wax application that maintains its structure through repeated surf sessions.

Whether you're waxing a brand-new surfboard or completely refreshing an existing wax job, Sticky Johnson Deluxe Basecoat is the ideal first step towards dependable surfboard traction.

The Foundation of a Great Surf Wax Job

A good surf wax application starts with a quality basecoat.

Sticky Johnson Deluxe Basecoat is formulated to create small, firm and closely packed wax beads across your surfboard deck. These beads provide the textured foundation needed for applying your preferred Sticky Johnson topcoat.

The firmer basecoat helps support the softer, grippier topcoat, creating a combination of structure and traction that works across a wide range of surfing conditions.

Once the basecoat has been applied, simply select the appropriate Sticky Johnson Deluxe Surf Wax for your local water temperature.

How to Apply Sticky Johnson Deluxe Basecoat

1. Start with a clean, dry surfboard deck, removing old wax if necessary.

2. Apply Sticky Johnson Deluxe Basecoat using light, consistent strokes across the areas where you need traction.

3. Continue until a firm layer of small, well-defined wax beads has formed.

4. Apply your preferred Sticky Johnson Deluxe Cold, Cool, Warm or Tropical Surf Wax over the basecoat.

5. Add fresh topcoat as required to maintain grip between surf sessions.
