ALL-MOUNTAIN FRee STYLe SNOWBOARDING The Ye S Greats is the board that initially brought them to everybody's attention, & which over the years has gone on to define the philosophy of the whole Yes br&. Aimed squarely at more experienced all-terrain riders, this stunning snowboard is at the forefront of contemporary snowboard design & manufacture. Built around a state of the art true twin tip shape, it features Yes's advanced asymmetric geometry. This innovative design offsets the riders bio-mechanical inability to drive the heelside of the board as efficiently as that of the toeside. By adding a deeper sidecut to the heelside edge, which works in harmony with the Mid-Bite edge profile, the 2021 Ye S Greats delivers a level of piste performance that is nothing short of sensational. That Mid-Bite edge profile also gives you a wider platform under the feet, creating a more stable ride & enhancing float in the pow, cementing the Greats reputation as one of the best freestyle inspired all-terrain boards on the market. Rider Style: experienced All-Terrain riders Advanced through to expert riders who are looking for a high-performance freestyle inspired all-terrain board that is equally at home in the pow as it is over the whole mountain. Shape Overview: Asymmetric Twin Tip with Mid Bite The Greats utilises one of the most advanced shapes on the market. Built around a state of the art blunt tip & tail asymmetric twin profile. This innovative design features a tighter sidecut on the heelside edge, creating a more responsive feel on backside turns. This offsets the bodies bio-mechanical inability to drive as much energy into the heelside edge as it does on the toeside. To increase response & control even further, the Greats features the unique Mid Bite edge profile. This advanced design pulls in the edges between the feet tricking the board into thinking it has a tighter sidecut while allowing the designers to increase width under the feet. It's this combination that gives the Greats its lightning-fast response combined with its genre-defining float & stability. Profile: 2-4-2 Cam Rock The Greats utilises the responsive 2-4-2 Cam Rock profile which combines low profile rocker zones at the tip & tail with a more pronounced camber through the middle of the board. This creates hook free zones at the contact points while stepping up response thanks to the more reactive contact points. Now by utilising a more pronounced camber between the feet which works in harmony with that tighter heelside & Mid Bite, the Greats deliver a level of response & control on the piste that is nothing short of remarkable. Construction Now when it comes to construction, the Greats doesn't hold back. Completely redesigned last season, its high-end manufacturing is headed up by the advanced poplar/paulownia/bamboo core. This durable wood core combines high-quality poplar with lightweight paulownia reinforced with bamboo stringers through the centre to deliver a super light, yet powerful flex through the length. To this, Yes then form the board's structural layers from carbon-reinforced tri-ax glass, creating a torsionally responsive flex ensuring that no matter how hard you drive the board, it's always going to have plenty in reserve. Base: True Sintered True Sintered is harder & more expensive than extruded, & it can be faster for those that ride aggressively fast. But to do that, it needs to be waxed & prepared for local conditions. ...

The giant-killing twin that redefined all-mountain freestyle snowboarding. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Yes’s Greats totally changed the landscape of all mountain snowboarding. ever since it was first launched, its combination of state of the art design & manufacturing, delivered a class-leading ride that blurred the lines between high-end freestyle & big mountain freeride. eleven years later, the Greats still stands out as one of the very best snowboards on the market. Its unique asymmetric twin design featuring Yes’s innovative Mid-Bite edge profile not only continues to push the boundaries of snowboard evolution, but it also redefines what we’ve come to expect from all-terrain freestyle boards. So, if you’re an experienced rider who is looking for the ultimate in freestyle balance, but you’re absolutely unwilling to compromise on all-terrain performance, then you won’t get much better than the award-winning Greats. Rider Style Advanced through to expert riders who are looking for a high-performance freestyle inspired all-terrain board that is equally at home in the pow as it is over the whole mountain.

Proof that you don’t need to break the bank to get high performance. Combining the balance & feel of a true twin with the control & response of an all-mountain charger, the 2021 Ye S Hello is the perfect example of an all-terrain snowboard. Aimed squarely at riders of all ability levels, this superb board opens up the whole mountain & is, without doubt, a true quiver in one board. Built around Yes’s advanced Volume Directional Twin shape, this versatile board cuts swing weight to an absolute minimum, ensuring that on those days when you want to hit up the park or snowdome, it’s going to give you all the control & feel you could ever need. However, on those days when you want to hit up the mountain, the extra volume in the nose combined with Yes’s groundbreaking Under Bite edges are going to deliver a level of performance that puts many a higher spec board to shame. Rider Style: All Terrain/ All Abilities Utilising a responsive but relatively mellow mid flex, the Hello delivers the perfect combination of rider-friendly feel with exceptional performance making it the perfect choice for any rider who wants a board that’s going to perform over the whole mountain. Shape Overview: Volume Directional Twin As the lines between freeride & freestyle continue to erase, Yes had to address the needs of those committed to riding twins but finding themselves in more pow. Nose & tail volume is hard to notice on hardpack unless you’re nose/tail pressing, but in pow, it affects floatation, & you can feel it. So, Yes’s solution to this was to create an advanced shape that features identical wide points at the nose & tail & identical shovel lengths. However, by slightly lowering the volume at the tail, they managed to deliver the performance gains of a directional board with the balance of a twin. Also, to take full advantage of the Hello’s performance shape, Yes utilise their advanced Under Bite edge profile. Under Bite edges re-distribute a rider’s weight in such a way 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. This increases 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 is taking place. This segmentation of the sidecut into three principal zones focuses your body weight into areas that initiate, hold & release turns. Profile: Cam Rock The Hello utilises Yes’s all-terrain focussed 2-3-2 Cam Rock profile. This combines low profile rocker zones at the tip & tail with a more pronounced camber through the middle of the board. This combination creates hook free zones at the tip & tail but also allows the contact points to engage faster than the more freestyle orientated profiles. This gives the board a more dynamic feel & lets the more pronounced camber between the feet work in perfect harmony with the Under Bite edges to deliver the performance feel that sets the Hello apart from its competitors. Construction The Hello is the perfect example of that old saying, ‘sometimes less is more’. Reading through the spec list, what you get is a traditional snowboard construction without any of the headline-grabbing super tech many brands flag up. However, that’s no bad thing, because what Ye S do is use a high-quality poplar wood core wrapped with high-quality bi-ax glass fibre. These two materials are the building blocks for a great snowboard; everything else at this price point is just fluff. So, what you get is a board that gives the perfect balance of pop, control & playfulness. everything that you could ever ask for with this kind of board. Base: Sintered Type This is the term Yes use & is the grey zone that many companies play in. It’s Sintered Spec because it’s hardness & chemical properties are very close to true sintered bases, & its on-snow performance is also very close to true sintered
- but it’s formed using the extrusion process. How? – Well, the raw material is actually pre-consumer recycled (meaning it never left the factory) sintered base material. So while the heating & extrusion process has softened it slightly, it’s still much harder than true extruded.
