    P-Tex Repair Sticks (Clear & Black)

    Deep gouges happen, and P-Tex sticks are your best friend for quick base repairs. Having both clear and black lets you match your base for a more seamless fix.

    Burton Waxing & Tuning Vises

    Having dedicated vises makes waxing and tuning so much easier and more stable. The Burton vises are snowboard-specific, securing your board horizontally for waxing and vertically for edge work.

    RaceWax Base Cleaner

    Before you wax, a clean base is a fast base! A good base cleaner, like those from RaceWax, helps remove old wax and dirt, preparing your board to properly absorb new wax.
