ABILTIY: Beginner / Intermediate

TRUE TWIN

CAMBER

Camrock

SHAPE

True Twin – A completely symmetrical outline houses a centered stance that is effective on edge, a tip and tail, and is identical at both ends of the board. The radial sidecut is effective and predictable. The overall shape allows complete freedom of expression by keeping the board a neutral, yet responsive board.

CORE

Full Poplar – Yes.'s baseline core for tip-to-tail woodcore snowboard construction. A core that strikes a predictable balance between durability and consistent flex and lightweight feel.

BASE

Extruded – This material is formed by extrusion and is softer than sintered bases. At the speeds many riders take, this material is actually quicker than sintered bases when waxed correctly. It retains wax better because it's more porous and is easy to fix with a P-Tex stick if it gets scratched.

Rider Type:  All-Mountain / Freestyle

Shape: Directional Twin

Flex: 7/10 Aggressive / Stiff

Ability Level: Advanced / Expert

Rocker: Rocker / Camber / Rocker

CAMBER

CamRock – The response of camber with the floatability of rocker. Camber between your feet acts as a spring, keeping your contact points on the ground as you go in and out of turns and allowing you to keep that edge hold longer. Once compressed the camber will accentuate the rocker and lift the nose out more, allowing it to float.

SHAPE

Directional Volume Twin – As the lines between freeride and freestyle continue to erase, Yes. had to address the needs of those committed to riding twins but finding themselves in more pow. Symmetrical flex, centered stance, identical wide points of the board (therefore, NOT tapered), and identical shovel lengths but with a slightly lower volume tail.

The Hel YES has solidified its position as a leading standard for women’s freeriding, clinching four consecutive Good Wood Awards. This snowboard boasts a directional twin layout, UnderBite outline, sintered base, and a bamboo stringer core, all contributing to Helen’s distinctive imprint on the world of women’s snowboarding. Laura Sidoruk, the artistic mind behind this masterpiece, seamlessly weaved her personal vision of the circle of life and death into the design. “I wanted to represent the duality of life and death and the cyclical nature of our environments around us. To illustrate this, I chose wolves and greenery to symbolize life, and wolves with fungi along with pieces of skeleton showing to symbolize death and how everything returns back to the earth. Connecting the two wolves is a root-like thread, bringing us back to the life cycle that is continually occurring all around us no matter what. A small reminder that life is short and to shred extra hard ;)

CAMBER

Directional CamRock 2-3-2 – The response of camber with the floatability of rocker. Camber between your feet acts as a spring, keeping your contact points on the ground as you go in and out of turns and allowing you to keep that edge hold longer. Once compressed the camber will accentuate the rocker and lift the nose out more, allowing it to float.

EDGES

UnderBite edges re-distribute a rider’s weight in such a way that it enhances turning ease and edge hold. Creating divots inward at the binding area reduces and disrupts the surface area of the edge that has contact with the snow while the board is turning. This increases the edge pressure by distributing your weight/energy in the areas where you need it - from the binding out, and through the center of the board where the carving arc is taking place. This segmentation of the sidecut into 3 key zones focuses your body weight onto areas that initiate, hold and release turns.

CORE

Poplar / Paulownia / Bamboo – This creates a lighter, more responsive core than the Full Poplar. The Poplar + Bamboo uses the same durable core, lightens it up by replacing 30% of the Poplar with Paulownia and then inserts two bamboo stringers down the full length for added pop and response.

Triax Glass

BASE

Sintered True – Just like it says. Pellets or course powder is pressed until it forms a solid. There are several suppliers for our entire industry and they each have different codes for them, depending on the color and transparency. These codes can make it seem like you’re getting many different kinds and grades of sintered but they’re all pretty much the same as far as you and I will ever tell. True Sintered is harder and more expensive than extruded and it can be faster for those that ride aggressively fast. But to do that, it needs to be waxed and prepared for local conditions.

SPECS:

With a twin construction and tapered MidBite outline, this board is versatile for both powder shredding and freestyle performance. It’s designed to cater to all your snowboarding needs throughout the season.

Directional Twin

Outline:

Tapered Midbite – Tapered Midbite blends the response of a narrow waist width with the stability of a wider nose and narrower tail for powder flotation. The design steps a single sec - tion of each sidecut inwards between the insert packs. This single long disruption of the sidecut between the bindings cheats the waist width narrower, providing quicker edge-to-edge response. Meanwhile, from your bindings out to the end of the sidecut we maintain a wider board width that improves float in pow and is a stable platform. The Step inwards on the front is deeper than the Step outwards on the back creating a slight taper in the tail allowing the tail to be just a little narrower than the nose but without losing the twin feel.

SHAPE

Asymmetrical True Twin – The Asym Twin applies a tighter, deeper heelside radial sidecut compared to the toe. In effect, balancing out the difference in a body’s natural tendency that we get with directional boards, allows you to ride switch better than you ever have. Regular or goofy - it’s still a true twin. Just flip it around.

Innovation and style combined with an asymmetrical twin, incorporating the revolutionary asymmetrical MidBite into the opposing sidecut specs. This board keeps rising to the top as one of the best #YES boards, featuring artwork inspired by famous conspiracy theories, including AI’s potential takeover.

Introducing The Ultimate Snowboarding Experience.

Get ready to conquer the slopes like never before. YES Snowboard's revolutionary Tapered UnderBite technology combines the best of both worlds: the directional drive and effortless float of a tapered board, without compromising on edge hold or the ability to power through turns— a common drawback of most tapered boards. Unlike other boards, the PYL maintains a more traditional width and length, providing stability and control that snowboarders crave. Crafted with an innovative wood core and natural dampening, this board elevates your performance to new heights, delivering a refined and unparalleled ride. Building on the rich heritage of the PYL, renowned designer Mark Kowalchuk has breathed new life into this iconic masterpiece. With enhanced features and an even stronger legacy, the PYL stands as a testament to our commitment to pushing the boundaries of snowboarding innovation. Unleash your full potential on the mountain with the YES Pick Your Line snowboard where style, precision, and exhilaration meet.

FEATURES:

CAMBER

CamRock 1-4-2 – The response of camber with the floatability of rocker. Camber between your feet acts as a spring, keeping your contact points on the ground as you go in and out of turns and allowing you to keep that edge hold longer. Once compressed the camber will accentuate the rocker and lift the nose out more, allowing it to float.

SHAPE

Directional

Tapered UnderBite – Each side of the board’s effective edge is segmented into 3 distinct parts that step horizontally inward rather than tapering. Traditional “tapered boards” take the full sidecut and pull the tail inward, which is away from the arc of your turn – this is why they tend to wash out under hard carving. Tapered UnderBite corrects this by increasing the sidecut depth as you move towards the tail creating a corrective “hook” to the taper. The board blends into turns effortlessly, and has the directional drive and float you’d expect from a tapered board.

CORE

Weightless Core – The Weightless Core strikes a critical balance between lightweight and strength. Using a lower density species of Poplar in areas that are not as structured and Paulownia in the areas that are, Yes. was able to shave precious weight. This helps the board not only float, but "feel" floaty.

Triaxal Glass

BASE

Sintered True – True Sintered bases are harder and more expensive than extruded and can be faster for those that ride aggressively.
