Shape: True Twin

A twin snowboard is symmetrically shaped, with an identical nose and tail, enabling riders to perform maneuvers and tricks with ease in both regular and switch stances. This symmetrical design ensures equal performance characteristics regardless of direction, facilitating versatile riding experiences. Ideal for freestyle riders and terrain park enthusiasts, twin snowboards enhance maneuverability, allow for seamless transitions between tricks, and promote a balanced feel. The symmetrical shape fosters a consistent and predictable ride, making it well-suited for those who enjoy riding in various directions and executing tricks with a uniform approach.

1. Extruded

YES Snowboards' extruded bases are durable, low-maintenance, and cost-effective, making them ideal for beginner and casual riders. Created by melting polyethylene pellets and molding them, these bases have lower porosity, requiring less waxing and simplifying tuning. While sintered bases offer higher performance, extruded bases provide a smoother learning curve and forgiving ride in various conditions.

2. Poplar/Paulownia

YES Snowboards' Poplar/Paulownia core is crafted from 50% Poplar and 50% Paulownia. Poplar offers lightweight consistency and flex, enhancing agility. Paulownia, even lighter, ensures weight reduction while maintaining strength. This blend creates a lightweight, responsive, and durable snowboard, perfect for various riding styles and conditions.

3. BIAX

Biaxial or "Biax" fiberglass consists of fibers running in two directions, typically along the length and width of the board. This construction provides a balanced flex pattern, making the snowboard more forgiving and easier to control. It enhances torsional flexibility, allowing for smoother turns and maneuvers, which is particularly beneficial for riders who prioritize a playful and versatile riding experience rather than aggressive performance.

Flex

6/10
soft stiff

Perfectly symmetrical shape for balanced riding, equally versatile both when used regular and when used in switch. Great balance between feline stability and freestyle mobility, no matter which way you point it.

FOREVER FLEX

Forever Flex is a manufacturing process that helps stabilize the flex and rocker profile of a board for its lifetime. Our boards now finish the first stages of production slightly overbuilt and then we “break them in” using a specialized machinery that mimics extreme riding use. By flexing the fresh board fibers and epoxy at the factory the materials settle into their final arrangement within the board layup much the same as if you rode the board for 20 days. This process helps us narrow our production tolerances so the board you buy has a more accurate specified flex and rocker profile that will change less as you ride it more.

Defective board and Yes won’t respond to my calls or emails

I’m trying to get the attention of YES I bought my basic board from here and I used it once and there is a crack down the middle and I need them to fix that so it doesn’t permanently damage my board. Please email me

My review

Honestly, the YES Basic is a great board for riding all over the resort. Its CamRock camber gives a nice balance between edge hold and forgiveness, and the UnderBite tech really helps with turns. The medium flex makes it playful without being too soft, so it's perfect for the park, groomers, and even a bit of powder. That said, it reaches its limits in serious freeride. But if you're looking for a versatile and accessible board, it's definitely a solid choice!

Killer Board

Been riding this board for the past month. In what little powder I tried this board in it felt amazing, in high speed its stable, has good pop, feel amazing for jibbing and butters and all of those shenanigans. Love this board. Fully recommend this for anyone whose looking for a park oriented all mountain board.

Great board ok graphic

Seems like a great board however the graphic is my only sway away since I’m not 15-18 years old. Hoping the 23-24 model is more desirable in that regard and I’ll snag it in 158
