YES Optimistic - 2017
Manufacturer's Description:
The Optimistic comes back this year with a lot more than just a face-lift. It’s an all-new board, an all-new ride and comes stacked with some of our most proven and refined design theories. This board combines the fun, easy nature of the 420 with the carving prowess of the PYL and the explosive horsepower of our PowerDrive core.
It’s wide. And wide is good. This allows you to ride the board up to 6cm shorter, giving you more maneuverability in the trees and easier spins in the air. Width also creates stability at speed and floatation in the deep that we used to associate with length. It also begs to be leaned-over as far as you dare on the groomers, which is fun as hell!
Add in the now legendary Underbite and you have a board that will carve troughs into hard-pack and float better than anything this side of a 420.
