You can get wax & a leash at just about any surf shop in LA. It does not have to be a good surf shop. Everyone should carry those items on a daily basis.

If it is ur first time putting wax on the board, MAKE SURE u buy base coat & top coat. You will want to spend some time putting a nice even layer of basecoat on first. Completely cover the board where u will be applying the wax (no holes). It will really make a difference. The basecoat helps the wax stay on ur board longer. It wo not get rubbed off as easily, & it wo not get all over ur board shorts.

Then, apply probably Cool or Cold water wax in circular motions. After a while (should not take as long as the base coat) it will build up into little bumps.

l usually strip my boards a couple times a year & start over with a completely new wax job. Just to keep things nice, even, & clean.

l like Sticky Bumps, bus Sex Wax is also a popular brand.

The leash, just make sure it is the right length. You do not want it too long or too short. Bring ur board in with u & ask the workers to find a good one for ur board.

Have fun surfing this weekend! And watch out for those Labor Day crowds. :)
