Question

Why is wax for surfboards called s*x wax?

Answer 1

The s*x wax you refer to is actually just a brand of surf wax.  I could not tell you why they chose to call their company s*x wax, but other brands or wax, such as sticky bumps, do exist.

Answer 2

It is a guy thing. Surfboards are often referred to as sticks. Guys have sticks, it just started that way.

Answer 3

s*x wax is just a brand and has nothing to do with s*x

Answer 4

s*x wax is just the name of a particular brand of surfboard wax.

Answer 5

Same as the other here, the full name of the brand is Mr. Zog's s*x Wax. Here is some info from their website about the name:

WHY IS IT CALLED s*x WAX?

In the beginning, Zog asked friend and artist, Hank Pitcher, to design a label for the new surf wax. Not one to shy away from controversy, Hank came up with a visually intriguing logo bearing the name "s*x Wax". Hank liked the name because it sounded phonetically cool. Zog liked it because it was attention-grabbing, absurd, and a great spoof on Madison Avenue's not so subtle attempts to use s*x to sell a product.

Naming the product "s*x Wax" has led to some hilarious misunderstandings, some great stories, and some amazing letters from satisfied, but confused, customers. There are those who have been offended by the name and refused to purchase the product. There are those who have banned display of the logo at schools and family amusement parks. And then there are those who read the label and smile with the knowledge that the world needs all the humor it can get.
