"Onit" surfboard products

I attended one of those new product shows and ran across a new line of products from a company called ONit. Their core products are a surfboard cleaner and bottom coat that claims to reduce drag by 15%. The technology comes from the power boat racing industry. They have a website at www.onitpro.com. I am going to test it out on one of my boards and will report back.

I remember a similar product that Surfco Hawaii use to distribute. It worked pretty good. In the 70’s we use to use auto waxes and finishes to make the bottom of our boards more slick.

I’ll keep you posted.

Sounds like it might be a hydrophilic acrylic finish - i.e. Future floor wax.

I’d be interested to see what their control was for their 15% friction/drag reduction test.

silicon spray works also
