2027 YES Pick Your Line Snowboard
The PYL is a proven freeride shape built for riders who want stability, control, and confidence in bigger terrain and deeper snow. Designed by DCP and refined over years, the PYL blends a directional shape with a CamRock profile to deliver strong edge hold on hardpack while maintaining float and smooth turn initiation in powder. The Tapered UnderBite outline enhances grip and stability by focusing pressure along key sections of the edge, helping the board stay composed in variable and challenging conditions. Built to be ridden at slightly longer lengths, the PYL offers a stable, damp feel at speed without sacrificing maneuverability, making it a reliable choice for everything from steep lines to everyday freeride laps.
Who is this board best for?
Intermediate to advanced riders who want a directional freeride board with strong carving ability, dependable float, and stability at speed across varied terrain.

Camber Profile
- CamRock (1-4-1) – Camber-dominant profile with subtle rocker in the tip and tail, delivering strong edge hold and stability while maintaining float and smooth turn initiation in softer snow.
Shape
- Directional – Longer nose and shorter tail enhance float and control, making it ideal for freeride performance and carving stability.
- 10mm Setback – Slightly set-back stance improves float in powder and adds control when riding steeper terrain.
- Tapered UnderBite – Combines a tapered directional shape with UnderBite edge technology to improve float while increasing edge pressure underfoot for better grip and stability in variable conditions.
Flex
- 7/10 (Medium-Stiff) – Stable and supportive flex built for speed, carving, and control in demanding terrain.
Core
- Fluid Core – Lightweight wood core engineered for durability, consistent flex, and a smooth, damp ride feel.
Laminates
- Biax Glass – Provides a smooth, predictable flex pattern with controlled torsional response.
- Carbon 1 FR – Freeride-focused carbon reinforcement adds stability, response, and vibration dampening for high-speed performance and rough conditions.
Base
- Sintered Base – Fast and durable base material that holds wax well for consistent speed in all snow conditions.
Sidecut
- UnderBite Sidecut – Strategically redistributes pressure along the edge to improve grip, enhance stability, and create smoother, more controlled turns—especially on hardpack and variable snow.
Binding Mount
- 2x4 Inserts (12 Pack) – Industry-standard mounting system with stance adjustability.
