YES Typo - 2011
The board that started it all! YES was destined to be a success in its first season, any brand with that much hype and media interest is going to sell a lot of boards, but having an awesome product is the key to longevity. Last season, that product was the Typo, a snowboard that thousands of people bought and love riding. The 2011 YES Typo uses Nidecker’s high grade materials and the Camrock rocker/camber profile with a medium flex for all terrain versatility and freestyle fun.

I’ve had 3 days on my Typo and its been awesome. I’ve been riding some late season pow here and even though I have my bindings set twin, it floats awesome with its rockered tips. Once everything gets tracked out and I move down to the groomers, the camber really comes into effect. Its not like cambered boards ive ridden where you can just effortlessly carve, you have to put a little more force into the edges for the cambered section of the board to engage and lay down a good carve. The board butters really well and is super forgiving when landing jumps that you screw up. I haven’t been off any huge kickers so I’m not sure how damp it would be landing something big. The base is pretty damn fast and I’m having no issues keeping speed even on the long flat catwalks here at steamboat. All in all, I would say this is a pretty good all around board. It is awesome for screwing around in the park and is surprisingly great in pow. If you are looking to hit groomers all day and lay down fat carves then this prob isnt the board for you. I would recommend this board to intermediate to advanced riders. Stay Steezy

This is my first snowboard and although I am a beginner, with only half a season in me and pretty much nothing to compare it to, I must say that it is a great board to learn on. On my first powder day, I learnt how to carve on this board and was able to stay afloat for pretty much the entire day, it’s also helped me learn at a faster rate in the park. Very forgiving. I’m very pleased!
