Purl Natural Sunflower Speed Paste

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.

About Purl Wax

Founded near Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado in 1999, Purl Wax is a family-owned ski and snowboard tuning brand built around one simple priority: making bases run fast. Its waxes and tuning products are developed for genuine on-snow performance, from dependable everyday hot waxes through to specialised temperature formulas and competition-grade race wax. Purl hand-pours its waxes in the USA without fluoros, PFCs or toxic chemical additives, proving that serious glide and durability do not need to come with a heap of nasty chemistry. Now based in Colorado’s Eagle County, Purl remains independent, supports American manufacturing and contributes one per cent of annual sales to environmental conservation through 1% for the Planet. No hype, just properly fast wax made by people who care about snow.
