MORE PRIVATE LABELS BUDDYS GO OUT THE DOOR this seems to be the trend now a days, the surf shops, surf schools and large surf companies are asking us to create private label WAX BUDDYs for their marketing purposes. A functional business card, what an incredible idea - to give your customer a functional surf tool that reminds them of their company every thing they clean their surfboard. A small investment for a large return. We are stoked to do it.

The beginning of a great business

It all started with a passion to create a better WAX COMB
(and some cardboard and model clay)

Ron DiMauro shapes clay to come up with the WAX BUDDY

Several versions, several models before the final one
was chosen by all of you (surfers)

The 1st WAX BUDDY with its competition

Our first counter display (for surf shops)

The original logo - drawn by Ron - the WAX BUDDY man

Mikey DeTemple - the artist in the waves

One day, Mikey DeTemple was cleaning the wax off his surfboard
with a credit cardand Ron walked over and handed him a WAX BUDDY.
He used it and was amazed, he told Ron to market this incredible product
to surfers and the rest was history - we cannot thank you enough.

Jonny Clancy and Laurie Keene taking orders (Wax Buddy 1)

Ron and Lola (his love of surfing started it all)

ENDLESS WAVE'S MARKETING STRATEGY: Grass roots approach - Ron and his daugther,
Olivia drove across the country to promote the WAX BUDDY, a full 4 weeks on the road
of surf adventure and good will and lot of free WAX BUDDYs

The vehicle that made the cross country trip
less one transmission which we lost in Arkansas.

Alot of driving - about 8400 miles and 600 surf shops

Liv enjoying crystal clear waters in Florida

One place we stayed in San Clememete CA,
We did not want to leave (we went back there three nights in a row) and
spent allour money there - but you could blame us????

Ron and Liv out west - no surf shops there so
sightseeing was a must.

The standard wax comb, the first buddy and the final product.
We asked the surf shops what they liked about the first buddy and
how we could improve on it - they told us, we listened and we totally redsigned the
WAX BUDDY - See the WAX BUDDY II (far right)

A big THANK YOU to every surfer we know.

Pails waiting to go out

We sent samples out to every surf shop prior to them buying the
WAX BUDDY. The shop owners and workers used them,
fell in love with them and purchased a case for the shop.
Our Marketing strategy - The proof is in the pudding.

The star of the show
BOLD, STRONG, EFFECTIVE

Tons of WAX BUDDYs get delivered to the office

We love the BUDDYs so much that we even
have WAX BUDDYs growing out of our sea grasses

Our friend Justin at PEANUT BUTTER COAST WEBSITE just gave us a review on the BUDDY check his website out - he has it going on. www.peanutbuttercoast.com

2011-11-01T15:58:00.000-04:00

Made from 100% recycled materials, the Wax Buddy is a $3 wax remover manufactured by the Endless Wave surf shop in Newport, Rhode Island. After "years of experience using everything from credit cards, to kitchen spatulas," they believe they've developed the perfect tool for removing old wax.

The Wax Buddy incorporates a scraper, comb and cupped rail edge. The rounded handle fits perfectly in your hand, preventing unwanted pressure when scrapping off thick sections of old wax. Just yesterday I used my Wax Buddy on a 5'5" quad that has been sitting in my living room collecting dust.

I've used my fair share of wax removers, to include The Pickle, but none have done the job as effortlessly as the Wax Buddy. And for $3, shit, you can't beat that. Click here if you're interested in ordering one.
