Sintered

YES Snowboards' sintered bases are crafted by fusing tiny polyethylene particles under heat and pressure, creating a porous, durable surface. Known for superior speed and wax absorption, these bases are favored by advanced riders for their high-performance capabilities in various snow conditions.

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.

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.

Y3D Freestyle

The Y3D All Mountain Freestyle is your most versatile 3D shape. It will improve the "fun" factor all over the mountain generating a fast edge to edge, smooth turns and a ton of side-hit control. It excels when the snow gets deep and steep.

• Medium wide center base for quick edge to edge, high speed control and float in pow.
• Medium uplift of the side bases for control on difficult run ins and sketchy landings.
• Medium start of the side base uplift for a larger landing platform.

SIDEKICK

Sidekick technology elevates the edges at the widest points of the board's nose and tail, minimizing the risk of catching an edge. This design enhances forgiveness during rides, ensuring a smoother experience. Particularly beneficial in powder snow, Sidekick optimizes floatation by flushing snow outwards. It also helps preventing unexpected edge catches when riding on a flat base.

This is a 3D feature in the tip and tail sections outside the snowboard's effective edge. It's there when you need it and it will only be effective in pow, slush and 'end of the day' bumpy snow conditions. When everything is perfectly groomed SIDEKICK is not influencing the ride.

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.

Profile: Camber

This is the classic camber profile where the center of the board is raised off the snow, and the contact points are closer to the bindings. Offers good edge control, stability, and pop. Can be less forgiving than other profiles, making it better for advanced riders or those who prefer a more aggressive riding style.
