Keeping the edges of a snowboard or snow ski sharp and the base waxed is important for several reasons. Sharp edges provide better control and improved grip on the snow, while a waxed base reduces friction and allows the rider to go faster. Additionally, regular maintenance can enhance the durability of the board or ski, protecting it from damage and extending its lifespan.

Swix PS6 Wax (Blue -6c To -12c) 180g
Description
PS6 is a very versatile glide wax. The area of application ranges from being a base wax for racing products to a racing wax by itself, and as a base-prep wax for cold skis. PS6 has good durability and provides excellent glide on both natural and artificial snow. The speed of the waxing iron should be approx. 8-10 seconds for a skating or alpine ski. The wax can be reheated after cooling to room temperature (10 min.) for better durability. It is important to have a good waxing iron in order to melt the wax efficiently. PS6 can be used as a racing wax alone or as a base wax for final wax layers. Recommended waxing iron temp.: 145°C. Replaces CH6X.
