The Story ~ Fire On Ice™
WEND ® is a brand of snow waxes and accessories manufactured by Wax Research, Inc. Wax Research has continuously produced snow waxes since 1972 and over the years has manufactured for many well-known international snow brands. The WEND® snow wax line was launched in 2003 by Wax Research and has evolved over the last 8 years to incorporate natural components and modifiers such palm, plant and mineral waxes. A new super slick oil from flower seed that acts as a natural silicone has been added to the formula after extensive testing in the U.S., Peru and New Zealand. WEND® continues to offer a sophisticated line of racing waxes, overlays, a full range of shop waxes, retail bars and pastes. The strength of WEND® comes from the backing of Wax Research, a leader in action sport waxes and accessories.
