Students’ surfboard product minding its own beeswax

Three schoolgirls are making waves with their ocean friendly surf product, made with wax from the school beehive.

Spotswood College students Ava Brown, 16, Sylvia Larkin, 15, and Dylan Mumby, 15, are hoping Wave Wax will take Taranaki surfers by storm.

The year 11 girls have been cooking up their product in the technology department, using organic beeswax, tree resin, coconut oil, essential oil and emulsifying wax to make a honeycomb-shaped surfboard wax.
