YES. Select Kowalchuk Snowboard Binding 2026 | Black
Style, Flow & SkateTech Precision
Description
The YES. Select Kowalchuk 2026 is a unique fusion of art and performance. Designed in collaboration with skate-artist Mark Kowalchuk, this binding brings bold graphic DNA to a setup built to ride — all grounded by YES’s SkateTech platform. Balanced, responsive, and tuned for versatility, it’s made for freestyle lines, playful carving, and creative expression whether you’re in the park or on the groomers.
The Select Kowalchuk uses a Hanger 2.0 baseplate reinforced with 30% glass fiber for a responsive edge-to-edge feel. It retains a true baseless design for even board flex and features the Flushcup heel interface, meaning the binding interface with your boot is optimized for direct energy transfer. The freestyle highback has a symmetric shape and a flex rating of 6/10, offering good mobility while still delivering feedback for control. The Asym S-Sense ankle strap molds to your boot without pressure points, while the 3D Stretch-Fit toe strap holds firm without interfering with board feel. It’s built to be simple, effective, and rider-forward.

Brand Story: YES., NOW, SkateTech Heritage
This binding carries the legacy of SkateTech, pioneered under NOW Bindings, and now a staple in YES designs. SkateTech mimics skateboard trucks — pivoting under foot — giving you smoother turns, more direct response, and less fatigue. YES.—founded by DCP, Romain De Marchi, and JP Solberg—brought that performance into the freeride world. With Kowalchuk’s artistic input, Select becomes more than a tool — it’s a canvas and performance instrument in one.
