Purl Sunflower Speed Paste is the quick fix for warm, wet snow that suddenly turns your base into a handbrake. Built for higher-moisture conditions from around -7°C through to 0°C and above, it is right at home through an Australian spring, on soft afternoon laps and during those frustrating flat traverses where every bit of glide matters. Keep it in the car, tuning kit or board bag and you have a proper speed boost ready whenever the snow starts getting sticky. The plant-based formula comes in a compact 2oz container with its own applicator, so there is no iron, scraping or workshop setup required. Rub it across the base, let it dry and get back on snow. Sunflower Speed Paste is designed as a fast on-hill top-up rather than a substitute for regular hot waxing, with Purl recommending another application after roughly three runs. Simple, fast and ridiculously useful, this is one of those little tuning products that earns a permanent place in the kit. Key Features Warm Snow Speed Boost: Built to restore glide in wet, sticky and high-moisture snow from approximately -7°C through to 0°C and above. Fast Rub-On Application: Apply it directly to the base, allow it to dry and get straight back on snow with no iron, scraping or brushing required. Plant-Based Formula: Made from renewable, sustainably sourced ingredients without petroleum, soy, fluoros or PFCs. Compact On-Hill Solution: The 2oz container includes its own applicator and fits easily into a tuning kit, board bag or vehicle. Tech Features Recommended Snow Temperature: Developed for snow temperatures from approximately -7°C to 0°C and warmer. High-Moisture Performance: Reduces the suction and drag that develops between the base and warm, wet snow. Integrated Applicator: Supplied with a built-in application pad for quick, even coverage. Simple Application: Rub a thin layer across a dry base, allow the paste to set, then ride. Short-Term Performance Top-Up: Designed as an immediate glide boost between proper hot waxes rather than a replacement for regular base maintenance. Reapplication Guide: Purl recommends applying another coat after approximately three runs, depending on snow conditions and base wear. Ski and Snowboard Compatible: Suitable for use across alpine skis and snowboard bases. Backcountry Use: Apply only after climbing skins have been removed to avoid contaminating the skin adhesive. 2oz Container: Portable size suited to carrying on day trips, spring sessions and longer mountain missions. Made in the USA: Produced by Purl Wax in Colorado.
