About ARES

Hey! I’m Dawson, Ares Fabrication is my one-man workshop that I run out of my basement and garage in Whitby, Ontario (just outside Toronto). I’m a Canadian snowboarder and robotics technician who decided to design his own snowboard tuning equipment.

Here's What I Make

    •    Custom Snowboard Tuning Stands – High-strength PETG tuning stands that clamp onto any table, making waxing and sharpening a simple process you can do anywhere.
    •    Hemp snowboard wax – A sustainable blend of hemp seed oil, beeswax, carnauba, charcoal, and vanilla. It’s slick, durable, and works especially well in wet snow.

Everything we make has been thoroughly tested and professionally engineered. 

This isn’t a big brand. It’s literally just me, working in my garage, experimenting, testing, and improving on my gear—whether it’s new tools, wax recipes, or board tuning tips.
