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, holmenkol, maplus, dominator, race service, kuu, and a few other minor brands. I am a race service technician by trade.
Before session
After session
Session was on frozen lake, air temp 0cel, old transformed snow type. Duaration was non stop for 2 hours approx 50km. At about 5-10 into session, it was like someone flipped a switch and my board speed increased 25-40%. I felt the speed drop off at about 1.5 hrs. In my past experience, I have found that other waxes last about 30min, and specialty base hardeners might get you about an hour of good glide. I initially applied Nanox to a dry base - as per recommendations.
The takeaways- Nanox is an all temp, non fluoro wax, with a very fast and easy application. (See video) With repeated wax cycles, I expect the durability to increase.
Cheers,
