PYL - Pick your line
David Carrier-Porcheron, aka DCP, is co-founder of Yes Snowboards and he also loves powder lines. That's why he rides the PYL. Nipple deep powder in your home resort, meter-high snow in Japan, steep faces in Alaska, the PYL gets the best out of the dump and brings the ultimate surfing feeling to the mountain.
Riding Style
For the rider that likes to ride endless powder and charge down the slopes.
Shape
Directional is the classic snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while still giving you plenty of float, flow, and control to rip any terrain or condition. Tapered UnderBite delivers the directional drive and float of a tapered board without compromising edge hold or the ability to power out of turns.
Profile
A unique rocker/camber flex pattern defined by an evenly balanced tip and tail rocker and camber between the bindings. CamRock improves freestyle finesse by keeping your tips playful while maintaining the power and pop of camber underfoot.
Flex
The stiff flex of this board will offer ultimate response and very precise reactions with a ton of snap.
Construction
The Weightless Core strikes a critical balance between lightweight and strength. Lower density
species of Poplar in areas that are not as structural and Paulownia in the areas that are, takes weight off the board. This helps a board not only float, but “feel” floaty. The Triax Glass offers a versatile flex and response for everything. The Sintered True Base is harder and more expensive than extruded and it can be faster for those who ride aggressively fast. But it needs to be waxed often and prepared for local conditions.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
