The Yes. The Y. Snowboard takes the powerful shape of the Optimistic, adds a little rocker to the tip and tail, and tones down the innards for riders who don't check "madman" on the questionnaire. The result is a board that floats, carves, grips, and shreds just like one of the best in the business, but goes a little easier on both the rider and the wallet.
- CamRock Profile: Combines the response of camber with the floatability of rocker. Camber between your feet acts as a spring for better edge hold, while rocker lifts the nose for improved float.
- Flex Rating: 8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) for a balanced ride that offers both responsiveness and ease of control.
- UnderBite Edges: Enhances turning ease and edge hold by redistributing a rider's weight into 3 key zones, focusing your body weight on areas that initiate, hold, and release turns.
- Full Poplar Core: Provides a predictable balance between durability, consistent flex, and lightweight feel.
- Biaxial Glass Laminates: Ensures a smooth and responsive ride.
- Sintered Spec Base: Made from pre-consumer recycled sintered material, offering superior durability and performance compared to true extruded bases.
The Takeaway: The Yes. The Y. Snowboard is a versatile and budget-friendly option that delivers top-tier performance for riders looking for a board that floats, carves, grips, and shreds with ease.
