Why Beaver Wax is the Milo Go To Choice

If you're serious about your board sports, you know that the right wax can make or break your day.

For Milo, the search got real when we found Beaver Wax, a proud Canadian brand that proves you don’t have to compromise on performance to protect the planet.

The Beaver Vision: From Candle Factory to Mountain Peaks

The Beaver Wax story reads a little differently than your average action sports brand. It didn’t start in a high tech lab or a corporate boardroom; it started inside a local candle factory in Oakville, Ontario.

That candle factory is where the brand's foundation was built. It’s where our guy, founder Matt Turner, learned the intricate science of wax, experimenting with formulas until he struck gold. Armed with a deep understanding of wax design and a clear vision of where the industry needed to go next, Matt took things west to Vancouver, British Columbia.

Matt's goal from day one was simple: Create a high performance wax that’s actually better for the environment.

Tested and Approved by the Best in the Industry

Matt knew that to change the game, the wax had to perform at the highest levels of snowboarding. That’s why Beaver Wax is backed and ridden by an elite crew of Milo Team Riders. When you see names like this trusting the brand, you know it’s the real deal:

• Pat Fava & Joey Fava: Bringing that heavy Salt Lake City style, precision, and raw energy to the team.

• Ben Bilodeau: Repping Minneapolis and pushing the limits of what a board can do on heavy street features and snow alike.

If it can handle the intense demands of riders like Pat, Joey, and Ben, it’s more than ready for whatever you throw at it.

No Compromises: The Small Batch Secret

Traditional waxes in the past have been packed with harsh chemicals that shed right into the snow and wash into our waterways. Matt and the Beaver Wax crew set out to change the game by using environmentally friendly additives that preserve our playgrounds while still delivering maximum speed.

But the secret sauce isn't just what goes into the wax—it’s how it's made:

• Eco Friendly Additives: Formulas designed to protect the mountains and oceans.

• Small Batch Production: No mass produced conveyor belts.

• Hand Poured Process: Every single bar is poured by hand in Squamish, BC, ensuring that the additives are perfectly distributed.

Because of this meticulous process, every bar stays consistent, dialed, and ready to perform exactly how it should under your feet.

Pushing the Standard Beyond the Snow

Today, Beaver Wax is an award winning brand recognized globally for pushing the standards of recreational wax. While Matt built the brand's legacy on premium ski and snowboard waxes, Beaver Wax hasn't slowed down its pursuit of sustainability. They’ve expanded that same eco conscious, high performance philosophy across the board sports spectrum:
