”森想いWAX”が考える気持ちよく滑るとは?
What does “mori_O_moi” think makes for a smooth glide?
どんな雪質でも板が安定して滑走性し、突っかからない事。
The board should be stable and glide well in any snow conditions, and not get stuck.
環境に対応しての負荷を可能な限り低減させる事。
To reduce the burden on the environment as much as possible.
これら2つの両立させる事により、自然を楽しめるようにしたいと考えます。
開発者モリヲは、20年以上にわたり石鹸屋で天然油脂に携わり、世界中の原料を扱ってきました。
一方で、人生の大きな喜びは雪山で滑ること。長い間、この二つは交わることなく、別々の存在でした。
しかしある日、ふと思ったのです。
「この天然油脂で滑れるのでは?」
「生分解性が高ければ、環境への負荷も減らせるのでは?」
そこから世界中の油脂を集め、試行錯誤の日々が始まりました。滑っては検証を繰り返し、原料や組み合わせの特性を一つひとつ確かめる。
気づけば開発には3年を費やしていました。
そしてついに――
植物由来のワックスと天然素材を組み合わせた、スキー・スノーボード用ホットワックス 「I CAN FLY」 が完成。
環境にやさしく、そして確かな効果で滑りをサポート。
あとは、思いきり雪山を楽しむだけです。
気分を“あげて”、自由に滑りましょう!
The developer, Morio, has worked in a soap shop for over 20 years, and has been in contact with natural oils and fats from all over the world.
At the same time, he has loved snow mountains and skiing as his life's work. The two were considered separately, and had not yet crossed paths.
Morio had thought that he would like to contribute to these snow mountains in some way.
Then, while skiing, he realized
'Can't I use these natural oils and fats to ski?
' 'Because they are highly biodegradable, won't they also reduce the burden on the environment?
From there, we gathered natural oil and fat ingredients from around the world and tried them out on the slopes. We gradually came to understand which ingredients and combinations worked best for sliding. As we wanted to achieve a solid effect, the number of tests increased, and it took three years to develop. In this way, we completed “I CAN FLY”, a hot wax for skis and snowboards that combines plant-derived wax and oil ingredients with natural materials.
While being environmentally friendly, it also provides solid support for sliding with its proven effectiveness.
Now all that's left is to enjoy your ride.
Let's get into the mood and go for it!
