Spray on ski/snowboard wax?

Question

Anyone familiar w/ this stuff? (It's the All Temperature Hydro spray wax made by dakine). I was just curious if it performs nearly as well as the iron on or if it's junk? I'm headin out to the Rockies next week and picked this stuff up... Seems too good/easy to be true...

Answer 1

It's ok, for what it is.  It really isn't for tuning up your board or ski before going out.  It's more just for something to spray on while you're out there on the slopes.  It's not really something necessary unless you are a pro, in my opinion at least.

Answer 2

well it depends if you want your wax to last get hot wax but if your just willing to tune it up for one trip to the ski hill its ok

Answer 3

I use the took brand and it is great for those days when you just don't feel like doing maintenance. you just spray it on and ski...no scraping, 1st run down the hill takes care of the scraping. The only downfalls is it's pretty useless on wet snow and it leaves no protection for storing skis.

ps if you mistakenly use flouro spray(which is much better for wet snow) scrape and clean your bases after skiing because it can rot bases if left on for extended periods

Spray on wax isn't a complete substitute for hot wax but makes ski maintenance that much easier

pick up a couple of cans, a can doesn't stretch very far...this stuff is perfect for when you're on vacation and don't have anywhere to hotwax

Answer 4

I have tried several spray on waxes over the years and I still prefer to hot wax my own boards and tune them as I want. The spray seems to last 3-5 runs and then it's gone. I wouldn't say it's junk, just that I like mine to slide well all day and I hot wax my equipment every 3-4 days of use, more often in abrasive conditions.
