The YES Basic has been the foundation of the YES lineup for years, built as a dependable twin that focuses on progression, balance and everyday versatility. It sits at the centre of the brand’s freestyle offering, designed for riders who want one board that encourages learning, experimenting and riding the whole resort with confidence. Simple, balanced and predictable, the Basic has earned its name by doing the fundamentals of snowboarding extremely well. On snow the Basic delivers a smooth, approachable ride that still holds its own when pushed harder. The camber sections under the feet provide reliable edge grip and a bit of snap when carving or popping off side hits, while the rocker between the bindings keeps the board forgiving and easy to control. Combined with the symmetrical twin shape and mid flex, the result is a board that feels stable enough for everyday riding but playful enough to keep freestyle progression fun. Want the full picture?

The brand was created to bring snowboard design back to rider driven innovation, focusing on performance shapes and meaningful technology. Over time YES has become known for shaping technologies like UnderBite and MidBite sidecuts, which redistribute pressure along the snowboard edge to improve grip and carving performance across different terrain. The Basic has long been one of the most recognised boards in the YES lineup. Built around a versatile twin shape with approachable flex and dependable edge control, it remains a core model designed for riders progressing across the whole mountain.
