Yes's Uninc collection is a homage to yes founders Romain De Marchi, DCP & JP Solberg's legendary years at the helm of the iconic Uninc range. They've each chosen a board from the current Yes collection & have tailored it to exactly how they want it, with their own choice of graphic & spec. Romain De Marchi's's choice is his take on Yes's classic Basic. Taking the regular Basic as his starting point, Romain has worked with Yes's engineers to step up the spec to deliver a stunning freestyle focussed all-terrain board that has the performance to blow the mind of even the most accomplished rider. Taking full advantage of the Basics state of the art blunt-tipped twin shape & ingenious Underbite sidecut technology, the Uninc Basic delivers a balanced playful ride. Now combine that with a level of on-piste performance that you wouldn't expect from such a freestyle focussed board, then add the Slam-Back inserts for those powder days, & you've got a twin that is a genuinely versatile all-terrain charger. But it's not just the shape that makes this board. Yes has stepped up the construction several notches, creating a responsive & powerful flex that gives you the confidence to take the Unic Basic to the absolute limits. So if you're after a high-performance board that can deliver both freestyle & all-terrain performance, this is one board you need to have on your shopping list. Shape Overview The Basic Uninc shares the same true twin shape as the Basic giving it a more balanced freestyle feel, so not only does it ride great on the mountain, it's entirely at home when you want to hit up the park. As per the Basic, it's the addition of the unique Under Bite edge profile which creates the boards unique riding performance. Under Bite edges re-distribute a rider's weight so that it enhances ease of turning & edge hold. Creating divots inward at the binding area reduces & disrupts the surface area of the edge that has contact with the snow while the board is turning. These divots increase edge pressure by distributing your weight/energy into the areas where it's needed
- from the binding out & through the centre of the board where the carving arc occurs. This segmentation of the sidecut into three key zones focuses your body weight into areas that initiate, hold & release turns. Profile The Uninc Basic's camber profile is an update of what we would call a traditional camber. By starting the full-length camber profile just after the contact points, you get all the benefits of a conventional camber, but you also create a smoother hook-free ride. The Camber profile dissipates the rider's energy more evenly along the board's edge length giving a more stable & responsive ride as the edge is engaged along its entire length. Construction As you would expect for Romain De Marchi's board, the Uninc Basic doesn't hold back when it comes to construction. Heading up its high-quality build is the advanced wood core. This combines durable poplar & lightweight paulownia with bamboo stringers running through the centre to deliver a poppy & powerful flex through the length of the board while reducing overall weight. To this, Yes then create structural layers formed from a torsionally responsive tri-ax weave glass fibre. This stiffens up the torsional flex of the board, ensuring that no matter how hard you push, you can be confident that the Uninc Basic can take it all in its stride. Base As the Uninc Basic is all about performance, Yes step up the base material to a True Sintered. True Sintered is harder & more expensive than extruded, & it can be faster for those that ride aggressively fast.
