#YES Women's Rival Snowboard 2026

This board maximizes performance with the MidBite profile, delivering stability and responsiveness for an extraordinary experience on the slopes. It’s versatile, suitable for experienced riders and rising stars alike.

Flex: 6/10

Shape: True Twin - Symmetrically shaped with an identical nose and tail, ideal for freestyle riders and terrain park enthusiasts. A True Twin shape enables riders to ride both regular and switch stances with ease.

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: Fluid Core - A lightweight wood core technology developed by YES. Snowboards, engineered to enhance flex, pop, and durability. This construction delivers a responsive and balanced ride across all terrains, making it ideal for riders seeking versatility and performance in various snow conditions.

Fibreglass: Biax - Biaxial, or "Biax," fiberglass features fibers oriented in two directions—along the board’s length and width. This layout creates a well-balanced flex that offers a more forgiving, user-friendly ride. It boosts torsional flex, making turns and transitions feel smoother and more natural. Ideal for riders who value a playful, adaptable feel over aggressive performance.

Freestyle L Fiber Reinforcement – Stringers of carbon in a dynamic L-Shape from the insert pack to the tip. This design enhances nose stiffness, increases torsional response, and delivers exceptional stability.

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.
