What company makes the best quality of wax? or is it basically all the same shit?

i already know about different temps and what not.
 
most of the time I use swix, but if you want to spend less and still get florocarbons there are a number others out there
 
its definitly NOT all the same shit.... I mean racers can drop over 100 bucks on a very small amt of that shit... but as far as the best way to go for you intents and purposes.. not really sure... I've never been super picky about wax..
 
not for race, just cruising fast. backcountry and kickers...

i have an iron and scrapper... just curious about wax before i shell out a few bucks for it this year
 
I use cheap ass wax and put Zardoz not wax on top of it which makes them glide like butter, but you have to reapply it often. I hear alot of good things about stuntwax, which is supposed to be made with helicopter lube!
 
i used this japaneese wax once that my friend had. The very next jump i hit i overshot by like 20 feet and broke my wrist and fucked up my face. it was like a mini dumont crash. try and find some japaneese shit. it made me go fast.
 
Any major brand. Can't go wrong with Toko Holmenkol or Swix. Just get HC wax unless you want to spend twice as much on flouro. In which case get Swix LF4 it's not too pricey. Stay away from One Ball Jay. It smells.
 
zardoz is not good for your skis...

liquid teflon will clog the pores or the ski not allowing it to absorb wax over time.

i usually use toko. it's pretty dope shit.

 
if your just looking for an all around wax swix is pretty much all you need, its what the Olympians use. Make sure you get the iron on kind, it works better and last longer, you should wax regularly.
 
Purl wax is the BEST.

Purl Wax is proud to introduce the new All Natural Wax

line for the 07/08 season. All of the ingredients of these blends are

exclusively obtained from natural and renewable resources. Performance

and petroleum based waxes are no longer inseparable.

Whats Wax Got to Do with It?

In the face of the big environmental issues nowadays ski and snowboard wax might

not seem to play such an important role, but a traditional stick of wax bears

a lot more toxic potential than generally known. The large majority of ski and

snowboard waxes are fluorinated waxes that consist of perflourocarbons or PFC.

There are two major problems with the use of PFC. First of all, the production

of PFC requires a highly toxic and nearly indestructible chemical called PFOA,

or perfluorooctanoic acid. Once PFCs start degrading they break back down to

PFOAs and are eventually shed into our water streams. PFOA is a known carcinogen

that has not only been linked to cancer, but also to birth defects and liver

damage. Secondly, PFCs are extremely potent greenhouse gases with a lifetime

of up to 50,000 years. In fact, PFCs are known to have about 6500 times the greenhouse

warming potential of carbon dioxide. An industry so directly affected and threatened

by climate change cannot afford to close its eyes to these facts. For more information

on PFOA refer to: http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2007/05/teflon_is_forever.html

Not Just Faster, (Eco) Friendlier Too Purl Wax is equally committed to

performance and the environment. Purls All Natural Wax is 100% biodegradable

and non toxic. We use wind energy to power all of our WMDs (Wax Melting Devices),

and instead of thick plastic packaging, Purl delivers its wax in small velvet

bags. In order to minimize waste, Purl Wax has challenged its customers to find

creative ways to re-use the velvet wax bags with a 1,000 ways to use your sack

section on this site. Alternatively, customers can exchange twelve bags for a

free puck of wax – the bakers dozen. Purl Wax will then reuse the bags.
 
PURL WAX... Undoubtedly! Its fast and he has so many different blends for every condition imaginable. The guy that runs it/owns it is a super cool too.

If you've ever had your skis tuned at Jibij.. thats what you get.
