In YES’s quest for improvement, they thoroughly examined how to enhance the Basic. After testing numerous alternatives, they consistently found that the original shape and ride of the Basic stood out above the rest. Instead of altering something that already excelled, they chose to retain all the remarkable attributes of the Basic while enhancing its visual appeal. Furthermore, YES fine-tuned the CamRock to offer a more subtle feel, providing the forgiveness you desire without compromising the necessary drive. The UnderBite outline has also undergone refinement, amplifying the board’s arc, grip, and overall carving experience across every design where it is applied. As the originator of it all, the Basic represents the genesis of snowboarding excellence. Experience the YES Basic, where snowboarding’s fundamental elements come together harmoniously.
Features
- Shape - True Twin: A twin snowboard is symmetrically shaped, with an identical nose and tail, enabling riders to perform maneuvers and tricks with ease in both regular and switch stances. This symmetrical design ensures equal performance characteristics regardless of direction, facilitating versatile riding experiences.
- Profile - CamRock 3-4-3: Camrocker boards have a profile where the center of the board is closer to the snow, and the nose and tail are raised, which enhances float in powder, makes turn initiation easier, and is generally more forgiving, but may sacrifice some edge hold and stability compared to traditional camber.
- Biaxial or "Biax" fiberglass consists of fibers running in two directions, typically along the length and width of the board. This construction provides a balanced flex pattern, making the snowboard more forgiving and easier to control.
- Y3D JIB: Wide center base for stability on rails and obstacle, medium uplift of the side bases for control on difficult run ins and sketchy landings, and early start of the side base uplift for a nice and loose underfoot feel, forgiveness and no edge catch.
- Sidekick technology elevates the edges at the widest points of the board’s nose and tail, minimizing the risk of catching an edge. This design enhances forgiveness during rides, ensuring a smoother experience. Particularly beneficial in powder snow, Sidekick optimizes floatation, by flushing snow outwards. It also helps to prevent unexpected edge catches when riding on a flat base. Enjoy a more confident and controlled snowboarding experience with Sidekick technology.
