Wax Recommendation: Universal Conditions

I'm looking for recommendations on a good brand of wax for universal
conditions. SVST Ultra Wax - comes in 10 ounce bricks for $10 US, which is a far better deal than you are likely to find in a snowboard or ski shop. http://www.race-werks.com/product.ph...4100&cat_id=17 I personally use the temperature-specific ones (red, yellow and blue) but I suspect the all-temp version is just fine. I've found it works just as well as Swix and Toko for a fraction of the price. I might get more picky if I were a high-level racer or something, but rarely do I see another snowboarder out-glide me on the flats :) Mike T |
Hello,
We use One Ball Jay wax on all our our tunes in the shop. The yellow normal wax is recommended for temperatures from 10-23 degrees farenheit and is the one we most commonly use. Here is a link: http://rdcshop.com/?action=itemdetail&item_id=42412 One Ball Jay also has wax specific for warmer and cooler temps. Of course there is also Zardoz Not-Wax for a quick fix in all temps. Here is a link: http://rdcshop.com/?action=itemdetail&item_id=42413 Hope this helps.

I used the OBJ "Summer Slush" wax during spring and summer for two seasons. Warning - the graphite or whatever it is in the wax penetrates deep and doesn't come out. It stains anything that's not black. I've had 2 base grinds on my Donek Wide and the white Donek bird is *still* stained. No performance issues whatsoever but if you're into your base graphics, avoid that stuff like the plague! Mike T |

I would think it's flourinated wax if it's for warmer temps. , but who knows....seems pretty weird, I've used blue flourinated (Poorboy) before and it never did anything quite like that. good luck, bri -- * enjoying the karma * remove LKJSDFJSD from address to email |

@trnddc07: I don't know if it has fluoro-whatever in it, but there is definitely graphite and it definitely stains ptex! As I have a package right here in front of me.... "One Ball Jay High Fluoro Graphite Additive for Aggressive Snow in Summer Months" Summer Slush Warm 23-32F 5oz $7.99 from Daves in Tahoe City. And yes, its black as charcoal. |
