Surf wax makes your board or whatever sticky so surf wax is for sticking. Curb wax is normally used for sliding with grinds, so it's slippery.

Surf wax = sticky

Curb wax = slippery

Surf wax is used on surfboards to increase traction and grip on the board while riding waves. Curb wax, on the other hand, is used on skateboard curbs to help reduce friction between the curb and skateboard wheels for smoother grinds and slides.

There is no wax separately for curbs and rails. You could use wax for curbs or rails. Most of the time a rail doesn't need wax, because it's so slippery. But if you do use wax for a rail, you'll end up falling on your a**!
