Sex Wax Original Tropical is the warmest water version of the legendary Original Sex Wax formula. Designed specifically for tropical climates and hot water surfing, it stays firm and grippy even when boards are baking in strong sun and high temperatures.
Unlike the Quick Humps version, the Original formula delivers a smoother, more traditional wax feel underfoot. Many surfers prefer this cleaner finish because it allows easier foot movement while still maintaining dependable grip and control.
The Tropical formula is harder than Warm or Cool versions, helping prevent the wax from becoming overly soft or sticky in hot conditions. It builds up cleanly, lasts well and performs brilliantly during surf trips to warmer destinations.
Finished with the iconic coconut scent, it’s one of the most recognisable surf waxes ever made.

wax texture.

Base Coat & Top Coat Advice
Many surfers use a harder wax as a base coat first, then apply a softer temperature-specific top coat for added grip.
In hotter climates, Tropical often works perfectly as both the base and top coat thanks to its firmer formula.
Example:
- Base Coat = Sex Wax Basecoat or Tropical
- Top Coat = Tropical matched to hot water conditions
