A waxed base is faster, smoother and safer than a dry one, and on wet, variable Australian snow the difference is bigger than most riders think. Wax fills the base structure, repels moisture and lets your board glide instead of dragging, especially in the slushy afternoon snow that is normal at Buller, Falls and Hotham.
Frequently Asked Questions
Warm or soft wax suits wet, slushy Australian snow. Cold or hard wax suits firm, dry early-morning snow. If you are only buying one, buy all-temperature wax. It is a compromise, but a small one compared with riding on a dry base.
Hot wax is ironed in then scraped back, so it penetrates the base structure properly and lasts far longer. Rub-on is a quick mid-trip top-up that wears off fast. Useful to carry, but not a substitute for a proper hot wax.
Every five or six riding days is a reasonable guide, but check the base. If it looks chalky and white along the edges, it is dry. Wet Australian snow drags on a dry base more than dry powder does, so wax more often here than northern hemisphere advice suggests.
Yes. Our Richmond workshop handles hot waxing and full tunes if you would rather ride than scrape.

The guys at Twelve Boards just helped me to purchase three new Carver surf skates for my self and two sons, they helped advise me on what would work best for all of us as we are all at different heights, weights and ability levels, unlike other shops/websites you get to talk with experienced people that know their stuff. I got a great price and the boards turned up quickly and packed really well with no damage. Couldn’t be happier with the service and gear, very happy to recommend this business to anyone interested in these sort of sports. My next purchase will be snowboards and I will be going through Twelve Boards for that purchase also. Great shop.

Been running the MTE boots for years lift ops and maintenance, better than Sorrels now that they've got a zip side!

Jones Howler 160W
There is a reason I always keep coming back to Twelve, the service and the brands. The team are super helpful, patient and don't push their preferences, they listen to your needs and experiences and help you decide from there.
Had a couple of Jones boards previously and they recommended the Howler. Who am I to say no!

Nice sized day pack for short trips and staying light. Can't wait to get up in the mountains to use it.

Top boards...Top service 👌
I purchased two Jones snowboards on-line for my next trip to Japan. Ordering through Twelve snowboards was a smooth experience and they kept me up to date with my order from the time I placed the order to delivery. I would highly recommend Twelve for the best gear, customer service and I wouldn't hesitate to order through them again. Thanks guys!
