Always Best in Class.
After winning four consecutive Good Wood Awards, the Hel YES. has anchored itself as one of the industry’s top standards for women’s free-riding. A directional twin layout, UnderBite outline, sintered base, and a bamboo stringer core has allowed Helen to carry her unique mark on women’s snowboarding.
Guillaume Rousseaux made the artwork:
“The wolf & the lamb : Do you still think that the reason of the strongest is always the best ? Drop the masks and find your path.”
SPECS
Terrian: All Mountain / Freeride
Board Shape:
Directional Volume Twin – As the lines between freeride and freestyle continue to erase, Yes. had to address the needs of those committed to riding twins but finding themselves in more pow. Symmetrical flex, centered stance, identical wide points of the board (therefore, NOT tapered), and identical shovel lengths but with a slightly lower volume tail.
Flex: 7/10
Camber Profile:
CamRock 2-3-2– The response of camber with the floatability of rocker. Camber between your feet acts as a spring, keeping your contact points on the ground as you go in and out of turns and allowing you to keep that edge hold longer. Once compressed the camber will accentuate the rocker and lift the nose out more, allowing it to float.
Base:
Sintered True – True Sintered bases are harder and more expensive than extruded, and can be faster for those that ride aggressively.
Core:
Poplar / Paulownia / Bamboo – Creates a lighter, more responsive core than the Full Poplar. The Poplar + Bamboo uses the same durable core, lightens it up by replacing 30% of the Poplar with Paulownia and then inserts two bamboo stringers down the full length for added pop and response.
Biax Glass
Underbite:
UnderBite – UnderBite edges re-distribute a rider’s weight in such a way that it enhances turning ease and edge hold. Creating divots inward at the binding area reduces and disrupts the surface area of the edge that has contact with the snow while the board is turning. This segmentation of the sidecut into 3 key zones focuses your body weight onto areas that initiate, hold and release turns.
Other Features:
2 x 4 Insert Pattern
Lifetime Warranty
Slamback Inserts - Set your stance back for a longer nose and additional float in powder
