Dr. Dune's Speed Wax ($5):
What's in a performance sandboard wax? Well, the good Doctor won't reveal his "secret recipe," but we know this: Dr. Dune's Speed Wax uses a paraffin base that is enviro-friendly and spiced with various inert lubricants that help make a sandboard race up to quadruple the speed of a waxless board. Even if you're not keen on careening down a 600-foot mega dune at 60 mph (common for big-dune riders), the advantage of good wax is noticeable. Pony up a five spot to buy two bars of Speed Wax, rub on your board's underside much like a surfer does when waxing a surfboard deck, and you'll be sliding like a fried egg in a Teflon pan.
