New Paddle Grip Wax Available

I picked up a new Carbon paddle from Adrian at Axis when i was at Merimbula Classic a couple of weeks ago & he asked me if I'd ever tried Paddle Grip Wax from the crew at Element Expedition out of Santa Cruz...
I told him no & that I always either used the EVA paddle grips from Jimmy Lewis or the Hexa-Traction ones from RSPro...Adrian then handed me his paddle & I couldn't believe how grippy it was without seeing any visible grip or wax on it... Next minute he pulled out a twist tube of wax & started applying it to the shaft of my new carbon paddle & then the handle... it was so grippy but without the blobs of surf wax I'd seen & used on paddles in the past... It didn't smear or pick up the sand or grass when you laid it down... I've now used my new paddle about a dozen times & haven't reapplied any more Paddle Grip Wax (not that I have any yet to reapply) & it's still nice & tacky to use...
It's Anti-Sweat, not messy, won't flake or migrate (spread) down the paddle shaft...
Linkage between the body and water sport apparatus is a critical component of performance and safety. Water significantly lowers the coefficient of friction between the skin and smooth contact areas on paddles and surf decks. In paddle sports, control of the paddle is often lost as the muscles fatigue and grip pressure decreases. In SURF and SUP, wax has long been used to improve feet-to-deck linkage. Element Expeditions Grip Wax displaces water between the skin and contact area and significantly increases adhesion to the apparatus. Water displacement and increased friction coefficient permits lower grip pressure to combat fatigue and reduces paddle rotation and longitudinal hand displacement on the shaft. By improving grip and reducing fatigue Element Expeditions Wax formulas improve linkage with the apparatus, increasing both performance and safety. AvailableIt's now going to be available in both the "SUP Paddle Grip" & "Tropical Paddle Grip" formula's in the next week or so from & comes in a "No Mess Twist Tube"-
