What wax do you use

GULLIUM & Toko

burton hot wax for about 6-10$~

anybody know of a good place to score cheap wax online now?  Need to stock up now that the season is over

using bluebird right now.

sex wax works good if you're refferring to surfboards. I'm not sure how they'd be on snowboards though. check steepandcheap periodically and sometimes snowski wax will pop up!

burton all temp wax which was like $15.. but its all good..

I got some of SuburbanBlend's wax made my bluebird (a collab), all temp, smells like blueberry cobler, nom nom.

What's a good, cheap waxing iron to get?

Originally posted by marble49 Sports authority has some generic wax for under $10. If you're lucky, they go on clearance right about now and you can get it for $5. Gas is gas and wax is wax. I don't think the premium for brand name wax is worth the price for the performance you gain, if any.

im gonna have to disagree. The better gas you buy (which costs more) has better quality and burns longer. I don't know if you drive as much as me, but for that extra 5-10 cents more, I'd usually get the Super/Plus instead of regular because in the long run, i'll save more money.

Same thing goes for wax, the better quality you buy, i'm sure it'll last longer. The cheap wax my brother used on his board rubbed off on the 1st day he rode on it meanwhile my better wax has been thru 3-4 riding days before it got ashy. And I was the one who hot waxed both boards so you cant be bias about an iron or ironing skills.

If you're pretty much saying wax is wax, then you might as well use candle wax.. I use the fluro wax from Burton which IMO are pretty decent wax that seems to melt better, absorb better, and lasts longer

Would this be a decent iron?

I really want to get a cheap iron to start actually waxing my board, I've only used rub and cork on wax yet, and that helped a lot, but real waxing would be much better. Wouldn't it?

oh, another thing, should I get liquid rub on wax? I only have some swix hard wax that I crayon on and cork in, is that fine? I can feel a difference, but would liquid rub on wax be better?

i think i have the all temp wax by burton. idk for sure tho but it works. got it from sierra for 5 bones last season

Just whatever I have sitting around.... I do, however, try to pick the right temperature for the conditions.

With the ice we have in NZ it's more important to have good edges

Hertel super hot sauce wax. Comes in 3/4lbs bricks

i got this paste wax i put on w a sponge than buff off.. it works pretty well nd its made by swix..about 15bucks for a small container

just some burton wax.. i get it at my boardshop

do you think i can use skim boarding wax for snowboarding if i melt it?

I just use whatever the shop has for cheap. Is it really worth the extra money to buy the better stuff? Like will it last at least an extra day on the mountain over the crappy shop wax?

Dakine rub on wax, but I want to try the oneballjay wax that glows and leaves a trail of green when you ride

that is the best crap to use I use it on everything, from women to my boards

Originally posted by atcskatedecks if ya talkin bout all temp then I like the dakine all-temp, or oneballjay For temp specific i love KUU wax, not sure if aanyones heard of it but it is THE crap :) I blow by all my friends

my local ski shop makes their own. It comes in a big clump. Maybe you should check it out. Double the quanityt for the same price!!

dakine all temp
