SLIDE WITH PRIDE
magical go-go Soy Stick
Think of all that wax flying off people’s boards and skis as they fly down the mountain all winter. Thankfully our friends at magical go-go have come out with the Soy Stick, an eco-wax made from their own natural soy formula, which means less impact on the mountain than ordinary petroleum and paraffin-based waxes.
The directions are simple: 1) Rub the wax all over your board. 2) Strap on the board and get psyched. 3) Blast fast past your pals. 4) Repeat if necessary. Available in Japan at Murasaki Sports, Bottom Line, SOS, Hood, Ronin and Liberty shops.
Price: ¥1,700
