What is Van der Waal

It's a clear non-skid alternative to surf wax, easy to install and that requires almost no maintenance. It’s crystal-clear which means that your surfboard will always look like new, and it doesn’t melt, so your board will never stain other surfaces it comes in contact with, such as your surfboard bag, your car or your clothes.
And because it doesn’t get sticky or dirty it is always clean.

Improved grip with new material and texture

r.Evolution Series is made from a more rubbed material, less harsh then Performance Series 2.0, which means that it will not cause any kind of damage to your wetsuit or your skin, while allowing you to surf in all conditions and water temperatures.

Our history

Van der Waal was born in 2015 and its parents are Martim Dornellas and Afonso Silva, two old-time friends who came up with the idea of creating a product to use on surfboards that would be as effective as wax but that wouldn’t stain the boards or mess with their design.

In 2016 we launched the first version of Van der Waal and called it Performance Series. 

In 2017,  after several surveys, research and tests, we improved Van der Waal grip. This new version of the Performance Series was launched as Performance Series 2.0

A strong community

Since our first tests, we were always surrounded by good-hearted people that have truly helped us along the way. We are really proud of our community and it was from their sincere feedback and insights that this new version was made.
On 2017 we decided to ask our Waalers to send us their videos, this is their contributions.

 

Where your money will go? 

As a pre-sale campaign, almost all funds will go for production, packaging and all steps necessary to send all backers our new version of Van der Waal. Part of the funds raised will go for a promotional video shoot.
