Discover the Yes Standard
Imagine this: the ultimate snowboard that sets the standard for all-mountain versatility. That's exactly what the Yes Standard promises and delivers. This board is designed to meet the needs of intermediate to advanced riders, who are looking for a single board that excels in all conditions. Whether you dream of groomed slopes or crave deep powder fields, the Yes Standard is ready to make you shine.
Directional Volume Twin
What makes the Yes Standard so special? It all starts with the unique Directional Volume Twin Outline design. This innovative approach offers the best of both worlds: the balance and symmetry of a twin board and the floatability of a directional board. This means you can enjoy the versatility of a twin board while gliding through untouched powder snow like a pro.
Slamback inserts
To further enhance the floatability, the Yes Standard is equipped with Slambacks. These are inserts placed lower on the board, allowing you to dive deeper into the powder with ease. The result is a smooth and responsive ride that gives you confidence in all conditions.
The hybrid design of the Yes Standard is a masterpiece in itself. With a mild camber between the feet and rocker in the tip and tail, this board offers the perfect balance between control and floatability. The camber keeps the contact points on the ground, allowing you to maintain control in your turns. When you apply pressure on the camber, the contact points rise and you effortlessly create float in the powder.
The shape of the Yes Standard is specially designed for the snowboarder who loves riding a twin board but also appreciates the joys of deep powder. Less volume in the tail of the board ensures a twin board with impressive floatability, allowing you to cruise effortlessly through deep snow.
And let's not forget the extra set of inserts, which allows you to position the bindings further back on those epic powder days. With the Yes Standard, you are ready for any challenge the mountain throws at you. So what are you waiting for? Go on an adventure with the Yes Standard and discover the true meaning of all-mountain versatility.

Technical Specifications
Yes Snowboards was founded by former professional snowboarders who wanted to share their passion for the sport by creating innovative and high-quality snowboards. Their mission is to inspire and support snowboarders worldwide with products that maximize performance and enjoyment.
A real sintered base is harder and more expensive than extruded, and it can be faster for those who ride aggressively. But to be able to do that, it needs to be well waxed and prepared.
This results in a lighter, more responsive core than the Full Poplar. The Poplar + Bamboo uses the same durable core, making it 30% lighter by replacing part of the Poplar with Paulownia and then adding two bamboo stringers along the entire length for extra pop and responsiveness.
In triax fiberglass, the fiberglass layers are arranged in three different directions: longitudinal, transverse, and diagonal. This directional placement of the fiberglass layers ensures a balanced combination of torsional stiffness, longitudinal flexibility, and responsiveness in the snowboard.
The MidBite pulls the outline of the snowboard inward by 1.5 mm, just inside the insert pack. This step remains consistent (instead of going back out like in the Basic) until about 1/3 of the length of the sidecut, just inside the next insert pack. This single, long disruption of the sidecut between the bindings narrows the waist width, resulting in quicker edge-to-edge response. At the same time, we maintain a board width from your binding to the end of the sidecut that provides a stable platform for jumps, spins, and landings.
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 with a symmetrical outline and flex, but with a slightly shifted setback binding position.
