PICKLE WAX REMOVER | THE MAGIC SURFBOARD WAX REMOVER

The magic pickle every surfer needs: the Pickle Wax Remover was born on the North Shore and is now a quiver staple

If you've been in the water for a while, you've surely heard of the magic pickle. The Pickle Wax Remover from Team Chow is exactly that: a pickle-shaped sponge, born in the shaping rooms of Hawaii's North Shore, that removes all the old wax from your board in three simple movements. No solvents, no stains, no residue. The most iconic wax remover in surf culture, now available at Core Surfing.

WHY THIS MAGIC PICKLE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Most wax removal methods involve harsh chemicals, wax-covered rags, or endless scraping that never leaves the board completely clean. The magic pickle works differently: its interior material mechanically absorbs residual wax, leaving the deck shiny and ready for a fresh coat. No odors, no liquids, no hassle.

• Chemical-free — completely dry removal, safe for all finishes: polyester resin, epoxy, and soft-top
• Universal — suitable for surfboards, bodyboards, skimboards, and paddleboards of any size
• High durability — a single magic pickle cleans approximately 20 boards before it wears out
• Made with 100% recycled material — the Pickle doesn't just clean your board; it also cares for the planet
• 100% biodegradable bag included — the resealable packaging also acts as a storage case between sessions

EXPERT TIP

Scrape off the excess solid wax first with a comb before using the magic pickle: the less accumulated wax there is to start with, the more sessions you'll get out of your sponge. Leave the board in the sun for a few minutes to soften the wax, and the Pickle will need fewer passes to leave the deck completely clean. Rotate it frequently while rubbing to utilize its entire surface. When it looks saturated, don't throw it away: it will keep working for many more sessions. The dirtier it looks, the more it has worked.

TEAM CHOW GUARANTEE — "SAVE THE PLANET, USE YOUR PICKLE"

The magic pickle was born in the 90s in the heart of the surfing world: the shaping rooms of the legendary Surf-N-Sea shop in Haleʻiwa, North Shore of Oahu (Hawaii). Shop employees discovered that the foam dust left over from the shaping process was incredibly effective at removing wax. Someone put it in a stocking, shaped it like a pickle... and the rest is history.

Today, Team Chow LLC continues to operate out of Haleiwa with the same DIY and aloha spirit it was born with. The Pickle is made with 100% recycled material, contains no chemicals, and is sold in a biodegradable resealable bag that also functions as a case. The brand is an active member of 1% for the Planet: 1% of every sale goes to organizations that share the vision of protecting natural environments and oceans. Clean your board and you take care of the sea you surf in. Peace & Aloha.

USAGE AND CARE

• Step 1 — Scrape: use a wax comb to remove excess solid wax. If the board hasn't been cleaned in a long time, leave it in the sun for a few minutes to soften the wax before starting.
• Step 2 — Grip: hold your magic pickle firmly.
• Step 3 — Rub: apply pressure and rub the Pickle over the surface with firm movements. Rotate it frequently to prevent wax accumulation in one spot and to use the entire sponge. Rub until the deck is shiny and clean.
• Storage: keep the magic pickle in its biodegradable resealable bag, away from direct heat, flames, or sparks.
• Do not wash — the Pickle does not need to be cleaned; the dirtier it gets, the more it has worked.
• Caution: keep away from fins, fin plugs, and fin boxes to avoid damaging the material. Do not ingest. If the Pickle is torn or ripped, dispose of it in a suitable container and avoid inhaling the contents.
• Recommended use: outdoors. Do not use on upholstery or delicate surfaces.
