HOW TO WAX A SURFBOARD // PRO TIPS with PROFESSIONAL SURFER LAKEY PETERSON 

All these years and I just now find out this technique.. Notes taken. Gracias.

This is legit the best wax tutorial on youtube haha killin it Lakey!

Thanks a lot, so helpful! All the best for the rest of the season!

Thanks, as a new surfer no-one had explained it to me (self taught). I got my first new custom made board and following your tips made it look and feel great. And apologies for the delay. Helpful people like you guys make me remember why I was attracted to surfing, the fun and happiness everyone shares. Thank-you.

Such a useful video Lakey! I literally check this out every time I need to re-wax my board and I’ve now nailed the mini-mountains. Amped to see you got the wildcard slot for 2025 - super deserved 🤙🏻

Happy Anniversary ♥️♥️♥️ Lakey And Tom, so Happy to see your Amazing Surfing today at Pipeline 🌊🤙🏽💥. Got you on my Fantasy Surfing and Excited you are doing so well. WSL 2023 the year of Lakey 👋🏼👍🌊🤙🏽

Clear, concise, technical, and smart. Thank you for an excellent video on waxing. Getting back into it after 30 years !

That was insightful. Nice seeing you move on at Pipe. Keep it going. Sweet win in the round of 16. As always thanks 🤙

Wow. I love your videos. Picking up every secret Entertaining, informative and fun. Thanks so much and I’ll be cheering you on from northern Kentucky/Cincinnati. Thank you and keep the videos coming! It seems like you all have a fun time making them too. You two are awesome and thanks for helping my surfing!

I love these lettuce insights to a world I wish I could be apart of. Land locked for life. And well might be able to participate in my old age. Keep them coming please. Your the only pro surfer doing this, and appreciate the @paying it forward” 🤙🏼

Oh and the recording tips was the best. From the video on taping your session.

Loving the content!! Sure you can find this information on tutorials, but what sets the difference is that you are actually getting advice from someone who is a professional surfer, and I think that makes all of this tips more credible, when it comes from someone who actually makes a living out of what they are telling you to do. Thank you for taking the time to keep posting, even through the CT and your busy schedule!!

Just watched you beat Moana Jones Wong in the round of 16. 2023 is gonna be your year. I see a world title in your future!!!

Loved it!

Best tutorial!! Thank you!

You should make a tutorial for how to put surfboard fins in! For the different ones like futures, FCSll, and 2 tab. Love the content!! Thanks!!

Excellent video which I will pass along to the active surfers in my family.. Back in my day there was just one wax (beeswax) to be had and we put it on in circles all over our long boards. That was in Northern California before wet suits. Way cold!!!

Wax artist extraordinaire. Happy swells, cheers.

good luck in Pipeline Lakey, a big hug from Barcelona friends 🌹🤙

Nice vid! Love the diamond pattern! Loved the shades on the interview, nice pick! Congrats on your anniversary! The sad part is that now u facing brissa… my two picks one has to go home😢! Good luck! Keep ripping

Quarterfinals let’s goooo!

Thanks for the tutorial! Also, funny to hear you refer to California as being "cold". I've only ever been there when it was sweltering, haha.

Nice tips, thanks, still needing to lose a bunch of weight for surfing, but hopefully this fall I'll be out there again! Oh one thing I learned about surf wax, is don't leave it on your car seat during the hot summer😂😂😂

Great tips

Ok, I'll date myself here....I remember when Mr. Zog's Sex Wax first came out in 72! We had been using Gulf Wax Paraffin, like you use for sealing jars of jelly when canning, on our surfboards and skimboards (round plywood clunkers, not what a skimboard has become!) We would have to drive about 30 miles to Yancy Spencer's "Innerlight Surf Shop" in Gulf Breeze FL. to buy it. RIP Yancy! I'm SO glad it's still around!

Excellent Lakey I really learned a lot and how you achieved that technique in the resulting pattern and the bumps and all that stuff I never did that back in the day nobody ever did that and now your tutorial is excellent. Thank you so much and also one thing is that is that you’re using the quick humps which is the better sex wax the original, which I guess is still out there I don’t like it . 😮🤔☝🏻😃🤙🏼

Let's go Lakey, there r no lefts so you have the advantage over Moana it's gunna be so dope when you take out the queen of pipe 💪💪💪

very usefull thx !

Thanks lakey ily This works so much better with sex wax than with sticky bumps basecoat. For some reason the sticky bumps “rounds out” way easier compared to the nice edge on the sex wax puck.

I got every time rashes when using Fu wax. Pity because I like its stickiness. I swear for Sexwax too. I love the tip with putting some wax on your feet, definitely useful, I go and gonna try it :-)

good tips thanks a lot. and good luck for pipe !🤪

ps- also, i did not switch to sticky bumps because i liked it more than zoggs, but because my younger step brother, was using it while trying to surf like slater, machado, and dorian in the very 90s trend, while i personally was then and will forever by stuck in the 1980s, happily. in fact, i actually prefer the old original 80s formula (which some of us would actually chew on, does anyone remember that trend? who was around to chew on sex wax in the 80s, raise your hand :) i was all about coconut or orange. anyway, old formula, go figure, being the aged out cranky old 1980s encino man that i am :) and it was cost effective to simply use the same as him at the time. now i would buy the old formula, if it was not rare and there was not a premium on it. anyway, im outtie five minus three thousie :)

I like to wax the top of my board to make it look like I can do airs :)

❤❤❤❤

🤙

good stuff thanks! But the super stick wax is not hairy people friendly my friend gave me some stickey bumps punt wax maannnn strieght de haired me and stayed on my knees for 3 days hahaha Go Pony tail! 100%

Wondering how do pro surfers think about front pads?

Hi Lakey - what model board is it? Looks like it has some volume in the nose, is it an OG flyer?

Just took down the queen!!!!!🔥🔥🔥

Gl in qtr final

bubble gum wax for the win

I can’t find the video on stripping the wax?

204s or Mariposa

If the FU wax is so good, why not just use it as a top coat instead of a "top" top coat?

Im so confused lol

U r such a cutie.

people are having fun playing gaslight games with my wax, when i buy purple, leave it in the car, and end up with them being replaced by green in the car, (this is after having my purchased (at channel islands in sb) white sex wax comb being replaced with a clear sticky bumps comb at some point. because of these wax games, im having terrible wax jobs coming off the board. perhaps the goleta sb crew does not want me to use sex wax (maybe i offended someone or someones son or nephew or some friend or family member connected to the company, by my anti homo male community mind hive stance, nor feel like being played as 'the one' to have a bunch of 'boys' peering over and into my phone so they dont have to actually live and experience their lives and invest time to figure things out for themselves, but instead can ride on virtual coat tails (what would these 'kids' do without phones? do you think they could even function? as it is they complain about mental health issues yet they dont see a correlation. anyway, sex wax is what i used since starting surfing back in 1982/83/84 until switching to sticky bumps in the mid 1990s. perhaps the goleta gouls want to see if i notice when people mess with the stock wax and accessories in the car, as they do with food, cleaning wipes, and everything else. did you ever have people gaslighting you with wax and wax comb switch and other stupid games? i mean, i know you are from this area, but i was also born in the state and in these waters all along this coastline decades before a lot of these kids were even born, and on many days where even the 'old guys' were at work or wherever, while me and my brother were in the water. daily. so its not as if i am a grom that needs hazing. anyway, its good to have reference on your wax choices since you have already spent so much professional time sorting that out.

of all names, why call it sex-wax ?! im kinda afraid of buying it and looking like a perv
