Wax Features
- We’re all kooks in our own ways and this shit rips.
- Surf wax made with beeswax from beecentric beekeepers..We’re Buzzing!
- Handmade, researched and tested in California since 2018.
- Non-Toxic And No Petro Chemicals.
- Your Environment’s Wax is the best surf wax of the new era. Seriously.
- Why? It’s stickier, bumpier and it’s not made from paraffin or soy.
- “But wax is just wax?”
- No matter what your ride or your skill level it’s always best to have a little wax- Even if it’s to give to family or make friends in the lot.
- For your stomp pads or foamies, a little grip goes a long way. Sometimes (most of the time) it’s all mental.
- Yew might as well stock-up sustainably.
- It’s better for the environment and works just as well (if not better) than anything you have used.
Pro tips
- This base coat is tackier and harder than anything you have used before, go with the cross pattern application.
- For boards 5-8 feet use at least one bar of base coat. For boards 8 feet and up use 2 bars.
- You can get away with only using half a bar of base coat and if you are a wax head you could wax your log with 4 bars. It’s totally preference based.
- When waxing your board please apply indoors or in a cool shaded area.
- If hot and humid please put wax in a shaded area, cooler or fridge to keep it in optimal application condition.
- When you aren’t using your board, turn it over or keep it in the shade.
- Avoid direct sunlight to help prevent the wax from melting.
- To each their own on how they wax up!
How to use
- Do not eat. Even all natural wax isn’t good for your digestive system.
- FOR BEST USE: Apply base coat on all fresh/clean/newly dewaxed boards.
- This bar is harder than all of YEW!’s top coats. It is meant to give structure to the other waxes to provide the highest performing traction.
- Once you have your preferred bumps, apply top coat for the proper water temperature on top of the base coat.

Let’s raise the bar together and Do It Clean!
Why YEW?
Because YEW! surf wax is handmade in California with entirely environmentally friendly ingredients, YEW! is Your Environment’s Wax!
YEW!’s main ingredient is beeswax. It’s the perfect recipe of the best ingredients offered by Mother Nature – the stuff we should’ve been putting between our boards and toes all along.
Today’s leading surf wax brands all employ paraffin as their main “stick agent.” YEW! doesn’t. Why does this matter?
Paraffin is a colorless, waxy substance composed of hydrocarbon molecules derived from petroleum or shale oil. In its “purest” form, paraffin is a grayish sludge that undergoes an extensive refinement process that includes a heavy treatment of 100% bleach. The end result of this process, which is a highly flammable substance that releases toxic fumes when burned, is found in a wide array of mass-produced goods: candles, beauty products, grease solvents, and hydraulic fluids, to name a few. It has also been used heavily in the surf wax industry for decades; after all, it’s cheap and sticky.
In recent years, however, research on the environmental impact of petroleum byproducts has made it all too clear that consumers of paraffin-based goods have been doing our planet a huge disservice. Not only does the nature of its source make paraffin entirely unsustainable, in cases such as paraffin-based surf wax, it is actively hurting our planet. Whether you’re a casual surfer who only waxes up a couple times per season, or you’re a year-round wave fanatic with a quiver of freshly waxed boards, a significant amount of whatever wax you use is inevitably going to end up in the ocean. Each and every time you take advantage of one of Mother Nature’s most incredible opportunities by going for a surf on a paraffin-waxed board, you are leaving behind a trail of chemicals that are not only unsustainable, but also bring direct harm to the ocean’s delicate ecosystems and to the billions of organisms that call it home.
Until enough awareness is raised and worldwide priorities are shifted, petroleum-based products will continue to be used on a large scale for many years to come. We can’t expect an abrupt end to this environmental epidemic, but what we can do is create waves of change within our own communities. YEW! encourages everyone to be responsible and apply this knowledge about our environment by applying the right wax. Surfing has always been about complete harmony between mankind and the ocean, and it is our mission to keep it that way.
Small changes lead to big changes. Make the positive choice.
