Wax Recommendation: Universal Conditions
 

I'm looking for recommendations on a good brand of wax for 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.

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 :)

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:

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:

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!

But the best is when you have to warn the skiers in front that
you're coming through :)

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,

I don't know if it has fluoro-whatever in it, but there is definitely
graphite and it definitely stains ptex!
