by Van der Waal
Wave Whispers is a Van der Waal kind of surf podcast. Born from a brainstorming between Clara and Martim, the idea is to interview some surfers, friends, interesting people around the surf industry, and ocean lovers in general. It’s divided into 3 sections: WARMUP where guests reply to fast questions just to... well, warm up, a WIPE OUT that's a would you rather short game, just for fun, and a Q&A for us to meet better our guests. Hope you like it and stay salty!

<p>I made this with AI and I'm so amazed that... I decided to publish it. </p><p><br></p><p>"<br>·May 5, 2026</p><p>The provided documents explain <strong>Van der Waal</strong>, a sustainable alternative to traditional surfboard wax consisting of a <strong>modular hexagonal traction system</strong>. Unlike petroleum-based wax, these <strong>transparent, non-slip pads</strong> are semi-permanent, independent of water temperature, and designed to protect the board’s aesthetic without leaving a messy residue. The technical information highlights the <strong>r.Evolution Series</strong>, which utilizes a thin, lightweight, and non-abrasive material that mimics the <strong>molecular attraction</strong> of its scientific namesake to ensure a reliable grip. Users apply the hexagons using a <strong>specialized spacer tool</strong> to create drainage gaps, resulting in a low-maintenance surface that does not harm wetsuits or skin. Additionally, scientific excerpts define <strong>van der Waals forces</strong> as the distance-dependent intermolecular interactions that enable such high-friction grip and facilitate the climbing abilities of animals like geckos. Collectively, the sources present a transition toward <strong>eco-friendly surfing gear</strong> that prioritizes durability, ease of installation, and consistent performance across diverse ocean conditions."</p>

<p>James Woolston aka Jimbo Smithers is a long time Van der Waal friend. We met at a Surfpreneurs meeting and since then that Martim is fascinated by James' conversations, ideas, and good mood. He is one of Surfbunker's co-founders and tested all Van der Waal versions (faulty versions included) making cool reviews that helped us to gain visibility. Nowadays James is in front of Andsome Beer, a brewpub and small batch brewer of beer in Lourinha focusing on quality not quantity. </p> <p><br></p> <p>We loved this conversation so much and was so hard for me to cut James answers that we decided to split it in 3 parts.</p> <p><br></p>

<p>Federico, aka surfingfede is a Longboard surfer with amazing videos with Surfing Tips for Beginners (and not only). Despite he has been a tester for Van der Waal for more than a year now, this was the first time we met live. As you can check in the video, Fede’s energy, mood and goodwill are amazing, and despite we have recorded this episode 2 times (Martim’s fault), we decided to sacrifice the quality of the recording to maintain the quality and spontaneity of Federico's responses. If you don’t do it already follow Federico at: https://www.youtube.com/@UCeMInsXs1VnC1oV_RjcXtdw https://www.instagram.com/surfingfede/ https://linktr.ee/surfingfede More at: https://www.waal.co/wavewhispers PS: We will soon launch an extended version of this episode, as we had to cut so many cool parts.</p>
