Yes Basic Snowboard: Proven and Awarded
The Yes Basic snowboard is not just any snowboard; it is tested, proven, and loaded with awards. This board has been developed as a versatile deck suitable for all kinds of riders and all types of terrain. Over the years, the Basic has been refined to the point where both professional snowboarders and beginners regularly reach for it.
Yes Basic with UnderBite
One of the most striking features of the Yes Basic is the UnderBite design. This design extracts more turns, more grip, and a better carve experience from every shape we apply it to, and the Basic was the starting point for all of this. The board was designed by Guillaume Rousseaux, and the UnderBite edge design redistributes the rider’s weight in a way that improves turn ease and edge grip.
How does it work? The UnderBite technology creates inward notches in the binding area, which reduces and disrupts the area of the edge that comes in contact with the snow while turning. This increases the pressure on the edge by distributing your weight/energy to the areas where you need it— from the binding outward, and through the middle of the board where the carve occurs. This segmentation of the sidecut into 3 key zones targets your body's weight to the areas that initiate, hold, and release turns.
But the Yes Basic snowboard offers more than just UnderBite. It has a core that runs from tip to tail, providing a predictable balance between durability, consistent flex, and lightweight construction. This means you can rely on the performance of the Basic, whether you are looking for fast carving adventures or just want a relaxed day on the mountain.
In short, the Yes Basic snowboard is a proven and awarded board that is ready to take on any challenge. Whether you are a seasoned pro or just starting out, the Basic delivers performance and versatility that you will want to experience all day on the mountain. Go for certainty and choose Yes Basic, and discover why it has become a favorite among snowboarders worldwide.

Extruded base is softer than a sintered base, which isn't necessarily bad. At speeds that many ride, this material is even faster as it accelerates more quickly.
Yes basic core for the construction of wooden core snowboards from nose to tail. Provides a predictable balance between durability, consistent flex, and lightweight.
Biaxial fiberglass used in snowboards provides flexibility and responsiveness, allowing snowboarders to experience a more playful ride. It is ideal for freestyle riders and beginners due to its forgiving nature and torsional stiffness.
The UnderBite edge design redistributes the rider's weight, enhances turning ease and edge grip by creating notches in the binding area. These notches reduce the surface area of the edge that comes into contact with the snow during turns, which increases the pressure on the edge and concentrates your weight/energy on the areas that initiate, hold, and release turns.
The response of camber with the buoyancy of rocker. By combining camber and rocker, you can make the board both responsive and buoyant.
A snowboard where the shape and dimensions are fully symmetrical, both in length and width.
