Introducing the ultimate snowboarding experience with the YES Pick Your Line (PYL) snowboard! Get ready to conquer the slopes like never before. Our revolutionary Tapered UnderBite technology combines the best of both worlds: the directional drive and effortless float of a tapered board, without compromising on edge hold or the ability to power through turns—a common drawback of most tapered boards. Unlike other boards, the PYL maintains a more traditional width and length, providing stability and control that snowboarders crave. Crafted with our innovative wood core and natural dampening, this board elevates your performance to new heights, delivering a refined and unparalleled ride. Building on the rich heritage of the PYL, renowned designer Mark Kowalchuk has breathed new life into this iconic masterpiece. With enhanced features and an even stronger legacy, the PYL stands as a testament to our commitment to pushing the boundaries of snowboarding innovation. Unleash your full potential on the mountain with the YES Pick Your Line snowboard where style, precision, and exhilaration meet.
Shape: Directional
A directional snowboard is purposefully shaped for optimal performance in one primary direction, typically with a longer and more pointed nose compared to the tail. This design enhances stability, control, and float in varied conditions, making it particularly well-suited for carving, powder riding, and all-mountain exploration. The asymmetry aids natural turn initiation and provides a more dynamic riding experience when cruising downhill. Suited for riders who prefer a specific orientation for various terrains, a directional snowboard excels in responsiveness, offering a smooth and predictable ride that complements the nuances of specific riding styles and conditions.
Sintered
YES Snowboards' sintered bases are crafted by fusing tiny polyethylene particles under heat and pressure, creating a porous, durable surface. Known for superior speed and wax absorption, these bases are favored by advanced riders for their high-performance capabilities in various snow conditions.
Full Poplar
Poplar is known for its combination of lightweight and strength, providing a good balance for the core. Its lightweight nature contributes to the overall reduced weight of the snowboard.
Additionally, poplar offers a consistent and predictable flex pattern, enhancing the board's responsiveness.
The wood's durability ensures the core can withstand the stresses of riding while maintaining a desirable flex. Overall, poplar wood helps create snowboards that are lightweight, durable, and responsive, catering to a broad range of riders.
TRIAX
Triaxial or "Triax" fiberglass on a snowboard refers to a fiberglass construction where the fibers run in three directions—usually along the length and width of the board and at an angle. This configuration adds torsional stiffness to the board, enhancing its overall stability and responsiveness. Snowboards with triaxial fiberglass tend to have a more precise and controlled feel, making them suitable for riders who prioritize stability at higher speeds, improved edge hold, and better performance in challenging conditions. Triax fiber is often found in snowboards designed for advanced and aggressive riding styles.
FOREVER FLEX
Forever Flex is a manufacturing process that helps stabilize the flex and rocker profile of a board for its lifetime. Our boards now finish the first stages of production slightly overbuilt and then we “break them in” using a 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 within the board layup much the same as if you rode the board for 20 days. This process helps us narrow our production tolerances so the board you buy has a more accurate specified flex and rocker profile that will change less as you ride it more.
