Ski wax starts off with either a hydrocarbon or fluorocarbon wax. Fluro adds water-repelling power, but is worse for the environment.
Manufactures can then add lots of additives to improve speed, including additional fluorinated ingredients, graphite, molybdenum, or other powders. All of those powders decrease friction, either due to water or static electricity.
Here is a great post about how to make your own organic surf wax. It also talks about what traditional surf wax is made from:

Why make it? Go to your local skateshop and buy some, or you can use candle wax.
You use skateboard wax to grind on stuff like curbs on sidewalks or handrails or rails. You rub the wax on the spot of the rail or curb that you want to grind on, and if you really want an effective "grind" you can rub the wax onto your trucks. Keep in mind that the more wax you put on the more slippery it will be.

I'm sure there are different kinds of wax that will work better than skate wax, but any wax is going to work better than none. So I say Yes, do it!
yes. paraffin wax is actually the best wax i have ever used. i used it on a new cement ledge that wouldn't slide at all and i put some paraffin wax on it and it slide for days now.
they are not supposed to be waxed because when you try to remove it with a wax comb or a scraper it can damage the foam, although you can wax it i find them quite slippy !
