If you bought a Skate Banana or any board with Banana traction you need this wax. Caution, if you have a monkey he might include this wax in his daily diet so take caution when leaving your banana wax around your monkey.
Note: When applying any Fluoridated wax, make sure the base has at least 1 good coat of a hydro-carbon based wax (previously applied) for the Fluoridated wax to stick to. Just a hint...
Make sure you select the correct wax for the snow conditions.

Check out this chart for which wax to select.
Warm
32 to 26 F
(0 to -3 C) |
Warm, wet, fresh, spring snow. Sunny or drizzle.
In warm snow, waxes that contain fluoro are the fastest. Use Oneballjay X-Wax warm, Viper warm, and 4WD warm for maximum speed. Viper Paste and Liquid waxes are excellent in this temperature, as well. |
Cool
28 to 21 F
(-2 to -6 C) |
Fresh new snow, old dirty snow, summer conditions.
Fluoro and Graphite are the key additives here. Mixing Black Magic wax with X-Wax in very fast, you'll pass skiers with ease. Viper Paste and Liquid waxes also haul balls! |
All Temp
23 to 12 F
(-5 to -11 C) |
Man made snow, new snow, falling snow, ice, hardpack.
A wide range of waxes will run fast in this temperature. Mixing Fluoro with Graphite will make you go extra fast! Viper cold, X-wax all-temp, and 4WD waxes are the fastest. |
Cold
12 F & colder
(-11 C & colder) |
Dry, crunchy, aggressive, falling, and man made snow.
Reducing the amount of Fluoro is key for fast bases when it gets really cold. Mix a small amount of Black Magic Graphite to any cold wax for maximum speed. |

What is Banana Technology?
With over a year under its belt, overwhelming retail sell-through, rider support, contest victories, design awards and test results, it is clear that Banana Tech is truly a major step forward in the development/evolution of a truly functional snowboard geometry.
Banana Technology, like Magne-Traction before it, begins with the premise that a snowboard is not a ski. Banana Technology replaces camber with rocker “banana” between your feet. When you stand on your board, pressure is applied inward to the edge area at and between your feet as your weight presses out the rocker. The Banana Technology flex pattern is slightly stiffened at the tip and tail to increase pop and stability on big landings. Magne-Traction is incorporated into the Banana Technology creating Banana-Traction (as it should be on every freestyle snowboard) to improve edgehold and put even more control underfoot at your balance point. The end result is a board that is loose and catch-free, presses boxes, rails and jibs extremely well with the preset rocker, maintains pop with a stiffened tip and tail, and turns easily on hardpack and ice when the built-in rocker is put on edge. The built-in rocker curve makes the board float naturally in powder and the firm nose and tail prevent the board from folding in chunky conditions. The future is Bananas!
