Merging brands
Romain had this to say about YES merging with NOW bindings and Lobster snowboards:
“For me, snowboarding is a constantly evolving lifestyle that we are a part of. Teaming up with the Helgason brothers is a natural progression of what we are going through. We share the same values and embrace snowboarding in the same way. We eat, sleep, and breathe snowboarding.
Our passion for this lifestyle and sport will drive us to create the next generation of products for Yes. I am so proud of who we have become individually as people and as snowboarders, and I am excited to show how like-minded people can revolutionize a snowboard product.”
