A solid grip on your paddle shaft is one of those small things that makes a big difference over a long day on the water, and a light coat of wax is one of the simplest ways to get it.

Mr. Zogs Original Sex Wax has been a staple in paddle sports and surf culture for decades, and the Cold Water formula is the one to reach for when you're paddling in cool to cold conditions. The softer formulation is specifically designed for lower water temperatures, where it stays pliable and delivers reliable traction on paddle shafts and SUP boards without hardening up and losing its grip. It works equally well on surfboards for those who like to mix their water pursuits.

At 3 oz it fits easily in a paddle bag pocket or PFD pouch, and the fruit scent is a small but welcome touch on an early morning paddle when the coffee hasn't kicked in yet.
