BASIC

After testing numerous alternatives, we found the original shape and ride of the BASIC to be the best. It retains all its remarkable attributes while enhancing visual appeal, representing the genesis of snowboarding excellence.

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.

Key features of the True Twin shape:

• Symmetrical design ensures equal performance characteristics regardless of direction.
• Facilitates versatile riding experiences, ideal for freestyle riders and terrain park enthusiasts.
• Enhances maneuverability and allows for seamless transitions between tricks.
• Promotes a balanced feel and fosters a consistent, predictable ride.

This shape is perfect for those who enjoy riding in various directions and executing tricks with a uniform approach.

1. Extruded Base

YES Snowboards' extruded bases are:

• Durable: Built to withstand wear and tear.
• Low-maintenance: Requires less waxing and simplifies tuning.
• Cost-effective: Ideal for beginner and casual riders.

Created by melting polyethylene pellets and molding them, these bases have lower porosity, providing a smoother learning curve and a forgiving ride in various conditions. While sintered bases offer higher performance, extruded bases are perfect for riders seeking simplicity.

2. Poplar/Paulownia Core

The Poplar/Paulownia core is crafted from:

• 50% Poplar: Offers lightweight consistency and flex, enhancing agility.
• 50% Paulownia: Even lighter, ensuring weight reduction while maintaining strength.

This blend creates a lightweight, responsive, and durable snowboard, perfect for various riding styles and conditions.

3. BIAX Fiberglass

Biaxial fiberglass consists of fibers running in two directions, typically along the length and width of the board.

Benefits of BIAX construction:

• Provides a balanced flex pattern, making the snowboard more forgiving and easier to control.
• Enhances torsional flexibility for smoother turns and maneuvers.
• Ideal for riders prioritizing a playful and versatile riding experience rather than aggressive performance.

FOREVER FLEX

Forever Flex is a manufacturing process that stabilizes the flex and rocker profile of a board for its lifetime.

How it works:

• Boards are slightly overbuilt during production and then “broken in” using 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, similar to riding the board for 20 days.

This process ensures:

• A more accurate specified flex and rocker profile.
• Minimal changes to the board’s performance as you ride it over time.

This innovation guarantees consistent performance and durability, making your board ready to ride from day one.
