#YES Standard XTRM Snowboard 2026

The Directional Volume Twin shape ensures optimal stability underfoot. MidBite outline provides unparalleled response and edge hold, while Slamback inserts handle unexpected pow days with ease.

Flex: 10/10

Shape: Directional Twin - A directional twin snowboard combines the freestyle versatility of a twin shape with a slight directional emphasis. While featuring a symmetrical shape for switch riding, it incorporates a subtle directional aspect, such as a slightly longer nose or setback stance, enhancing performance in one primary direction. This design maintains a playful feel for freestyle maneuvers while optimizing stability and control, particularly in powder or variable conditions. Ideal for riders who enjoy the park but desire enhanced performance on groomers or in specific terrains, a directional twin provides a versatile compromise between freestyle agility and directional stability.

Outline: MidBite - MidBite blends the response of a narrow waist width with the stability of a wider nose & tail. The design steps a single section of each sidecut inward between the insert packs. This single, long indention of the sidecut between the bindings creates a narrower waist width, providing quicker edge-to-edge response. Meanwhile, from your bindings out to the end of the sidecut, we maintain a wider board width that improves float in pow and is a stable platform for popping, spinning and landing on any snow type.

Bend: Camber - Camber is the base of snowboarding: you need to have an edge hold enough to drive in and out of turns, the Camber acts as a shock absorber on cars they push the wheels into the road to enhance grip. The camber does exactly that to the edge. Allowing you to drive your turns longer and release later.

Core: Cascade Core - Features Poplar, Paulownia and Bamboo rails. Poplar provides lightweight characteristics and consistent flex, enhancing maneuverability. Paulownia, even lighter, maintains strength with a favorable strength-to-weight ratio. Bamboo adds durability and responsiveness. This blend ensures optimal weight reduction, responsiveness, and performance, making YES Snowboards perfect for various styles and conditions.

Fibreglass: Triax - Triaxial or "Triax" fiberglass on a snowboard refers to a fiberglass construction where the fibers run in three directions—usually along the length and width of the board and at an angle. This configuration adds torsional stiffness to the board, enhancing its overall stability and responsiveness. Snowboards with triaxial fiberglass tend to have a more precise and controlled feel, making them suitable for riders who prioritize stability at higher speeds, improved edge hold, and better performance in challenging conditions. Triax fiber is often found in snowboards designed for advanced and aggressive riding styles.

Air W Carbon Reinforcement – True biaxial aerospacial carbon fiber stringers create a dynamic V-shape extending from the front and back insert packs to the board’s contact points. This V design enhances binding response, increases torsional stiffness, and ensures exceptional stability, in deep snow and in the park. Carbon fiber’s remarkable strength-to-weight ratio guarantees responsive stiffness, improved control, pop, and energy transfer. Perfect for aggressive riding and precise maneuvers, Air W delivers superior performance and responsiveness in all directions, for landings and carving.

Base: Sintered - YES Snowboards' sintered bases are crafted by fusing tiny polyethylene particles under heat and pressure, creating a porous, durable surface. Known for superior speed and wax absorption, these bases are favored by advanced riders for their high-performance capabilities in various snow conditions.
