Tested, proven, & award-stacked - the YES Basic is the ultimate go-to board
In Yes Snowboards quest for improvement, they thoroughly examined how to enhance the Basic. After testing numerous alternatives, we consistently found that the original shape and ride of the Basic stood out above the rest. Instead of altering something that already excelled, we chose to retain all the remarkable attributes of the Basic while enhancing its visual appeal. Furthermore, they have fine-tuned the CamRock to offer a more subtle feel, providing the forgiveness you desire without compromising the necessary drive. The UnderBite outline has also undergone refinement, amplifying the board’s arc, grip, and overall carving experience across every design where it is applied. As the originator of it all, the Basic represents the genesis of snowboarding excellence. Experience the YES Basic, where snowboarding’s fundamental elements come together harmoniously.

SPECS
Terrian: All Mountain
Board Shape: True Twin
Flex: 5/10
Camber: CamRock 3-4-3 – Rocker in the tip and tail, camber underfoot.
Base: Extruded – This material is formed by extrusion and is softer than sintered bases. At the speeds many riders take, this material is actually quicker than sintered bases when waxed correctly. It retains wax better because it's more porous and is easy to fix with a P-Tex stick if it gets scratched.
Core: Full Poplar – Yes.'s baseline core for tip-to-tail woodcore snowboard construction. A core that strikes a predictable balance between durability and consistent flex and lightweight feel.
Biaxial Glass
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
