You can definitely get away with skidded turns and it’s not catchy at all.įlex-wise YES rate this a 7/10 but I’d say more like 6/10. Carving & TurningĮven though there is plenty of rocker in the tip and tail of this board, it drives a carve nicely.Īnd for basic turns it’s nice and it’s quite forgiving. You notice this in powder but not on groomers – so it’s essentially a true twin on groomers. It has a good bit of rocker in tip and tail (so riding the pow switch is also fine) and it’s also has something that YES call a “directional volume twin” – which means it’s essentially a true twin except that the tail has a little less material in there (it’s the same width and length as the nose). Now, I was also demoing for other characteristics and I wanted to test it in it’s normal stance, which is centered, but if you had a powder day you could slam it back and it would be worth it if you were going to be surfing the powder all day. The reason? It was good enough in powder when it was centered so I didn’t feel the need. But I was too lazy to do it, even though I had plenty of fresh powder to play with. If you were to set it back (and it has some extra “slam back” inserts where you can setup with a decent setback if you want) it would be even better. This is mostly based on the 2018 model, when I had more powder to test in. PowderĮven when centered, this board rides the powder well. Given the width of the board, it’s quite light for per cm. *based on a small sample size of 24 boards that I weighed. So, goes without saying 100% vis.Īverage Weight per cm: 18.21grams/cm* (so it’s really close to average) Icy patches decreased and soft patches increased as the day went on. Demo Infoīoard: YES Standard 2019, 156cm (258mm waist)Ĭonditions: Icy in a lot of places, especially first thing but even first thing there were some softer patches. let’s take a more detailed look at what the Standard is capable of.
