I did 2.5 wax cycles (half the dry board from first cycle). Put just over 4 hours of riding in fresh snow 6-12”, and have little wear on the heel edge. I’m pretty happy with Nanox so far, but I would recommend at least 2 wax cycles when using it for the first time. 6773DB41-8904-4953-862C-EFC282EF87...

It helps! I just wear it to dry :) Nice thanks. I would suggest to do at least 2 wax cycles (I only did 1). I’m in process of doing 3 wax cycles, hoping I can achieve 4hrs of good glide, before having to wax again. If you end up trying Nanox, report back here and try to include snow type and air te...

A stone grind is important at the elite level (racing). For the riding we do, I would say not not necessary. You definitely want to apply it on a dry base. Nanox doesn’t work to its potential on a contaminated base (old wax, dirt). Hope that helps.

IME, liquid waxes are the least durable. But it can be useful - for example if you are racing, it could give you that competitive edge at the start line. With the new EU ban on fluoro waxes, (fis has followed suit), the big companies are scrambling to develope non-fluoro race waxes. Some of them are...

As you know, snowkiting is very abrasive due to prolonged riding distances, and aggressive snow crystals (frozen lakes). Yesterday I tested a new (new to North American market) wax called Nanox. I used the training wax model in the very hard snow version. I have experience in with swix, toko, holmen...

I find that if you launch off the face of a wave, it’s a lot easier to get the board grab. The bigger the wave the better. You also need board speed and lots of power in the kite, but that’s a given.

Sure it’s better with self policing. But as OP stated, doesn’t work! So, something else needs to be done to keep access. Or buy a wing surfer. Haha, wingsurfer- its the future. I would suggest to incorporate a not for profit association for now. Then you will have a voice. Governments don’t respond...

Thanks for providing the link for Guincho webcam! What time of the year were you in Santa Rita? Also, what kite size did you use? Just to echo post on guincho wind when we were there, it kicks in about noon, and would peak around 5pm to sunset. Although we didn’t kite peniche, we went there to surf...

I hear your pain. I never understand the people who ride at their local spot and don’t respect the rules. But I rather to suggest you to form a local key club, which is funded by the members. Each paying member gets a permit. Someone breaks the permit gets a warning. Second time take the permit awa...
