One Ball Jay Snowboarding Gear 2007 - 2008 Overview
One Ball Jay began as an experimental surf wax project in 1985 when Jay Rota (a.k.a. One Ball Jay) and Matt Cummins were introduced to surfing by Mike Olson and Peter Saari of Mervin Manufacturing. During the summer, skateboarding was their main focus and surfing proved to be a fresh alternative. In the midst of surfing and driving to the beach, they decided to try making their own surf wax. Their first concoctions of surfing wax were terrible. The wax was dubbed "sap wax" because it contained car oil, bees wax and tree sap.
As the rainy season rolled in, the time spent skateboardig and surfing warped into time spent snowboarding. In order to get the boards to move, they needed wax and naturally they made that too. Snowboard wax was born when they successfully combined canning paraffin with graphite. They started to produce a few bars at a time. Mike and Peter from Mervin were given bars to try. They suggested Jay and Matt call the new wax "On Ball Jay" because shortly before a visit to drop off some wax, Jay had a skateboard accident. The tail of his board nailed him in the balls. He had to go to the doctor and get checked out, it was pretty bad. But everything healed up fine and the name stuck. Gradually, wax formulas, tools, accessories, and clothing were developed and a steady following of shops and hardcore snowboarders grew worldwide.
