Oneballjay began as a surf wax experiment between 1982 and 1983 after Jay Rota and Matt Cummins met Mike Olson and Peter Saari of the GNU Snowboards. During the summer, skateboarding was the most common activity, but surfing turned out to be a fresh alternative. So the couple started experimenting with surf waxes, which led the way to snowboarding.
Snowboarding waxing Oneballjay
Snowboard wax is an indispensable accessory for snowboard maintenance. In our offer you will find waxes designed for varying degrees of temperatures and waxes completely universal, which can be used in both frost and warmer driving conditions. We have both iron wax and non-iron waxes that apply directly to the snowboard.
"We made our own snowboarding and bindings, so we wished to use wax on them, and we never had much to do, and that's no money, so we built the boards literally from the old farmhouse," says Jay and Matt . They used their own waxes (the first versions were really horrible, they were composed, for example, of beeswax!), Which then spread among other interested parties. And it was thanks to Mike and Peter of the GNU Snowboards who tested and waxed their waxes. At the same time, it is called "oneballjay", which, according to the legend, refers to Jay's injury during skateboarding (everyone can imagine what was going on). The success of Oneballjay was helped by Matt's friend Paul Ferrell, who worked at the Northwest Snowboardshop in Tacoma. Thanks to good relationships, Paul and Matt made the wax at the back of the shop, and in a few years they managed to get between the riders. At present, Oneballjay has its own factory in Belfair, Washington, and is sold around the world. The range has been expanded by other products, such as stompady.
