Frequently Asked Questions

Explore essential tips and guidance on surfboard accessories like fins, leashes, wax, and more.

What size leash should I use?

As a rule of thumb, choose a leash that matches the length of your board. A 6’ board should use a 6’ leash.

What’s the difference between FCS and Futures fins?

They are two different fin systems. FCS uses dual tabs, while Futures use a single tab. Your board must be compatible with the system.

Do I need traction pads and wax?

Yes. Wax provides grip for your front foot, while traction pads help stabilize your back foot, especially during turns.

How do I apply surf wax?

Apply a basecoat in a crosshatch pattern, then layer topcoat wax using circular motions. Reapply as needed before sessions.

What type of board bag should I get?

Day bags are lightweight and ideal for short trips, while travel bags offer more padding and room for multiple boards and gear.

Can I repair my board myself?

Yes. Small dings can be repaired using surfboard repair kits. However, for major damage, it’s best to visit a professional.

How often should I replace my leash?

Inspect it regularly. Replace it if it shows signs of wear, stretching, or if the cuff or swivel is damaged.

What does a surfboard fin setup affect?

Fins influence stability, speed, and maneuverability. Single fins are smooth and classic, thrusters offer control, and quads add speed.

Is a traction pad better than wax?

They serve different purposes. Most surfers use both — a traction pad for rear foot grip and wax for front foot traction.

Can I travel with wax in my surf bag?

Yes, but keep it in a sealed container. Wax can melt in heat, so store it properly to avoid messes.
