YES. Basic Snowboard 2023

IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT

REVIEWED BY: Garrett Finn

With all the wild board designs out there these days it's easy to feel the pressure to get something with a crazy shape. Here's the truth; the majority of riders don't need anything more than basic, and this board is just that. Could you tell by the name? The dimentions of the Yes Basic make it a super approachable option for new riders and a fun option for more advanced riders who like something on the more playful side. Built with a medium flex design makes the board agile at lower speeds. That's going to help a growing rider link up turns smoothly without feeling overwhelmed. The mid-flex design provides effortless control at low and cruising speeds, but makes the board feel slightly nervous when charging hard. If you want a similar board that does a better job handling charging, check out the stiffer Yes Standard. The Yes Basic is also a true twin, meaning it's balanced from front to back and makes a solid choice for those learning how to ride switch or riders interested in the park. The Basic is great for someone trying to become a stronger rider. It's great at low speeds, hitting side jumps, and easy to get on edge. The Yes Basic is simply a fun board that will get you through a little bit of everything on the mountain.
