that after I dropped my board off at Jeff Chamberlain’s house one day before a surf trip, I arrived the next morning to see that he had scraped off my wax leaving me with a bare deck.
“I scraped off that schmegma wax job you fucktard”, Is how he delicately put it.
pretty jobs. I like sex wax original, but it has a problem of staying put in warm waters even though I’m using tropical, the neo plastic like waxes i feel are better than non.
was that room temp wax or melted wax?
You know those things cake artists use . . . there’s one with a metal tip . . . melted wax and dribble or put lines down . . . of course might delam the board . . .

This hasn’t been the greatest month for surf in my orbit, so I’ve pretty much just bodysurfed when an opportunity presented. No wax job in any way, shape, or form.
But if there was a wax job involved, you wouldn’t want to see photos. Trust me on this…
Wow! Those sure are purdy…Not sure I would get a wave where I surf if I showed up with a girlyman, artsyfartsy wax job like those. But then I’m not Malloy/Mellor/Miller.
I was waxing up my brand new Mellor gun a few years ago when I felt a couple of lazors burning through the back of my head. I turned around and it was Chamberlain. “Can I help you?” I asked.
“Nah, just checkin’”
“Checkin’ what?”
“Just checkin’ if you knew what the fuck you were doin’”
Everytime my hand would get past John’s “Little Guy” logo, Jeff would cough, “It’s a gun ferchrissakes, not a noserider!”
Hooked my buddy up with an old beat up single fin we call ketchup and mustard (red and yellow resin tints) for Christmas and instead or wrapping it in paper, I sculpted a Santa figure out of the old natty wax. Not intended as wax job but really more of a momento. He surfed it for months and it actually held up, although the glasses fell off pretty quick.
However…when friends ask for free ding repairs, I’m not above giving them the board back, “Here dude, I even put some wax back over the delam for ya.” … with Ivory soap.
whoa lee- am i being accused of having artsy fartsy wax jobs??? mine are simple crosshatch/diamond plate looking things that allow for quick beading of wax once you wax across them…i think it’s more utility than artsy…
The strangest thing happened today. I was waxing a board I’d stripped for a few repairs. Just the normal deal - make some scratches with the corner of a bar of basecoat and then lay a bar of soft down & start circling it around.
When lo & behold… and what to my wond’ring eyes should appear… but a face, I believe.
Yes, I’m sure of it now. There - up by the nose!
Why, I think it’s a bearded face! Wow, is that Jesus? Or, just maybe, Roy?
Hmmmm. Could be someone from ZZ Top too. Or even John Peck. I dunno - I get 'em all kinda mixed up.
I was inspired…
