History of Surfboard Wax
Historians believe that surfing originated thousands of years ago in the Hawaiian and Polynesian cultures. The popularity of surfing grew in the 20th century, with ongoing innovations to boards and techniques. One of these innovations was surfboard wax.
According to the California Surf Museum, Alfred "Al" Gallant Jr - who surfed in Palos Verdes, California - was the first to use surfboard wax in 1935 when he applied a small amount of liquid floor wax to his wooden surfboard.
