My friend Tom Bucy used grafite grease, he applied it all over his body, he said when the waves hit him they will just slide off of him. It became hard and solid and heavy. He was pulled out half way through a race it was like tar. The only way they could remove it was with naptha gas he never used it again. All greases are not equal.
I only used vaseline on all friction points.
