2025 Yes. PYL Snowboard
Introducing the ultimate snowboarding experience with the YES. Pick Your Line (PYL) snowboard! Get ready to conquer the slopes like never before. YES.'s 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 YES.'s 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 YES.'s 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.
Tapered UnderBite delivers the directional drive and float of a tapered board without compromising edge hold or the ability to power out of turns that plagues most tapered boards. The PYL does all this in a more traditional width/length board. The Weightless core, natural dampening brings a refined, high-performance feel to this innovative, award-winning design.
Camber Profile
- Directional CamRock 1-4-2 – The response of camber with the floatability of rocker. Camber between your feet acts as a spring, keeping your contact points on the ground as you go in and out of turns and allowing you to keep that edge hold longer. Once compressed the camber will accentuate the rocker and lift the nose out more, allowing it to float.
Flex
- Flex Rating – 7/10 (1=Soft, 10=Stiff)
Shape
- Directional
- Tapered UnderBite – Each side of the board’s effective edge is segmented into 3 distinct parts that step horizontally inward rather than tapering. Traditional “tapered boards” take the full sidecut and pull the tail inward, which is away from the arc of your turn – this is why they tend to wash out under hard carving. Tapered UnderBite corrects this by increasing the sidecut depth as you move towards the tail creating a corrective “hook” to the taper. The board blends into turns effortlessly, and has the directional drive and float you’d expect from a tapered board.
Core
- Weightless Core – The Weightless Core strikes a critical balance between light weight and strength. Using a lower density species of Poplar in areas that are not as structured and Paulownia in the areas that are, Yes. was able to shave precious weight. This helps the board not only float, but "feel" floaty.
Laminates
- Triaxal Glass
Base
- Sintered True – True Sintered is harder and more expensive than extruded and it can be faster for those that ride aggressively fast. But to do that, it needs to be waxed and prepared for local conditions.
