You can get a hold of these at your normal everyday surf shop, or at least the ones I frequent. Tried em all but like GU the most. They are tackier in a different way than normal wax. Because they smear instead of bead up, to really feel the difference I have to rub/grind my feet into the deck and wax while up and riding. It definitely gives you more grip and ability to control where your board goes. BUT when I don't work my feet into the wax (like on a fast wave or late drop) it actually feels LESS tacky to me. And because of that I haven't switched to the sticky stuff exclusively. I think it's best to keep both kinds of wax handy, I've been using the sticky stuff about 60-70% for the last few months.
ALSO... beware, the new sticky wax is very messy and gets ALL OVER EVERYTHING.
