So they don't slip off. When you're paddling along and water rushes underneath you you would just slip off the shiny surface without wax. Also when you're standing up you need that grip to stay on. also when you are checking out beach babes boobs you aint concentrating on your grip you have and might fall if you dont wax your board.
