Great to hear Laz! Yeah I need to rub some more on my board, definitely good to have without needing a stomp pad.

Great idea! I have a GNU CHB and for some reason stomp pads always come off that board but never my others. Anyway, this is the perfect soloution.

Ok figured I’d throw it out there, gives me a reason to clean up my room to find it, haha.

Definitely if you get it, post on here how it works for the grabbing with your icy and slick gloves, that would be really interesting to hear if it works for you that way.

You dont have to do that. Im just thinking that its a good solution to having a lil more grip where you want it for a low price. Especially if you have several boards like I do, I think this is a good solution to stomp pads and slick grab areas like nose and tail. i havnt used a stop pad in years but I hate when I go to do a nose or tail grab and my gloves are icy or slick and it I lose the grab and ruin the trick.

Think I might buy some, thanks shay

Brek, I barely used any when I put it on my board but that would be a good test to see how much board you could cover with one puck. I only plan to cover my spare foot area and I can take a picture of the puck to show you how much I used.

Does anybody know about how far this will go on average like square feet or boards. I think youd be able to completely cover 1 1/2-2 boards with one puck of wax. itd definatly be nice for nose n tail grabs with slick/icy gloves

The traction wax came about for a few reasons. We wanted to offer an alternative for those of you who aren’t into stomp pads but still want some traction on your topsheet. In addition to providing no-slip-grip off the lift, traction wax is great for wherever you grab your board and for one-footed freestyle action. We’re also surfers and for those of you who surf, know the ritual and necessity of waxing your board before you surf. Smelling the wax while rubbing it on is a part of surfing, and I wanted to bring some of that to snowboarding. It’s all about getting people psyched to ride. The traction wax smells awesome and is specifically formulated for cold weather so that the wax remains tacky, yet snow does not stick to it. And, if you do want to sell your board later, the wax easily comes off with a scraper and base cleaner.
