Key Features
CamRock - A decent amount of rocker in the tip and tail of the board for smooth transitions, and, camber between your feet for pop.
UnderBite Edges - By redistributing rider weight and input, the UnderBite enhances turning ease and edge hold.
Core
Fluid Core - YES Snowboards' "Chubby core" 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.
Laminates
Biax Fiberglass - A balanced mix of fiber glass for neutral, torsional flex properties.
Base
Extruded Base - An extruded base offers great wax retention and is super easy to patch up after a hard day in the park or the streets.
Warranty
Lifetime Warranty - Covered under manufacturer warranty for lifetime of the product with the original owner. Warranty only includes structural defects and DOES NOT cover impact damage, abuse, misuse or normal wear and tear expected from aggressive riding.
Sorry folks, but bashing your board on a rock or rail does not qualify as a "manufacturer's defect" and will not be honored.

This is a fantastic all-round board. Super playful but still quite composed. I also have the Optimistic 159 which is much better at handling off-piste stuff, probably because of the greater stiffness.

Awesome Board

YES Basic Snowboard (Closeout)
This is my first board. After renting boards the first 4 or 5 times I ever boarded, I finally decided to get my own board. Everyone I talked to said the YES boards were great, the most 'bang for my buck' as someone told me and from what I can tell they were right. I've rented all kinds of boards and this one is better than anything I had tried. First time I took it out I went with some friends who were visiting and had been snowboard instructors for years. They rented what seemed like nice Burton boards but all agreed this YES board was better.
I'm no expert but this board was easy to ride, very responsive, fast and lightweight. We even hit up a bit of powder off the tracks and the board was great. Highly recommended.
