Set back with a slightly directional shape, using multi-axial fibreglass and running on an 8000 grade sintered base, it’s hardly surprising that the YES Big City is more suited to riders who consider the whole mountain their playground, not just the terrain park. The Big City or BC for short is a medium to firm flexing snowboard ideal for riders who take their tricks to natural terrain.

Is there such a thing as a bad jackpot? Winning the top prize from a fruit machine is a great jackpot and winning the Euro Millions Jackpot is obviously as good as it gets. The YES Jackpot has a lot to live up to.

Tadashi Fuse is a legend of the sport, he was one of the first Japanese riders (if not the first) to show the world that the Japanese are capable of producing some incredible talent, even if he did fine tune that talent in Whistler B.C. Having signed a couple of seasons ago with YES this year Tadashi gets his own pro model, the TDF. The TDF is exactly what you’d expect from Tadashi, it has a standard camber profile, a narrow waist and a tight sidecut perfectly matched to Tadashi’s aggressive riding style. On the topsheet and base is one of the hottest graphics of the season.

You’ve been looking for the YES Optimistic, but you can’t find it anywhere. That’s because DCP’s new board with YES is called the Pick Your Line. The Pick Your Line is heavily based on the Nidecker Legacy, most of the spec is the same and the shape is identical, it just benefits from the addition of a Swiss made 8800 carbon sintered base. If you are an all mountain rider who likes to hit everything from pow to park and who likes the sound of features like Basalt & Linseed reinforcement and Ultimate Traction edges then the Pick Your Line is worth a look-in.

The Basic is the inclusive board from an exclusive brand. The Basic gets all of the fantastic materials and features that other YES boards have, it just brings them together at a lower price point and with a slightly plainer and arguably timeless graphic. Now available in wide sizes with the option of camber or Camrock.

Fed up with Great Dudes of History, YES. has flipped the script and gone all Greatest Women on us. Last year we enjoyed portraits of great minds such as Albert Einstein, JFK and Martin Luther King (to name a few) this year we’re indulged with great airheads such as Marilyn Monroe and Bridget Bardot. The boards haven’t changed much since last year, they are still asymmetrical twin shaped, use a Camrock profile and have one of the firmest flexes in the range, but this year they acquire a new nameless technology, like Prince only known by a symbol. This nameless technology is designed to increase grip. On that note I wish YES. And Nidecker would sort out their catalogues.
