No, Sportin Waves was not discontinued. Both the Gel Pomade with Wavitrol III and the Maximum Hold black can remain in active production and are available through Amazon and select retailers.
What the community has experienced — and documented across r/360Waves threads and Amazon review sections — is a distribution and stock gap, not a product death. Sportin Waves Maximum Hold has had stretches where it disappeared from local shelves, which sparked the discontinuation rumors. The product is still shipping. Loyalists who've tracked availability recommend ordering the 2-pack through Amazon when stock is confirmed, specifically to avoid gaps between restocks.
- Sportin Waves Maximum Hold is currently available via Amazon, including as a multi-pack option.
- The discontinuation rumor originated from retail shelf gaps, not a manufacturer announcement.
- Two active Sportin Waves pomade formulas remain in production: Gel Pomade with Wavitrol III and Maximum Hold.
- Community recommendation for loyalists: stock up with the 2-pack to buffer against retailer availability gaps.
