YES Hel Snowboard

The pro model by Helen Schettini: Hel YES.  

Helen Schettini's pro model Hel Yes has quickly become one of the freeride boards par excellence for women. The Good Wood Awards that Hel Yes has won can only underpin this. Great handling paired with decent float and a high-quality construction make the Hel YES so special.  

Riding style
The Hel Yes is your snowboard if you can't wait to get into the backcountry and ride powder. Steep faces and hard slopes are of course also among the terrains where the Hel Yes feels at home.

Shape
The Directional Twin shape gives you more uplift in powder and excellent riding characteristics forward and switch. Due to the offset of the bindings in the direction of the tail (setback), the nose gets a little longer. However, the shape of nose and tail remains symmetrical. This geometry provides uplift in powder and stability at high speeds while you enjoy the freestyle feeling. The Underbite Outline ensures even easier turn initiation and best edge hold.

Profile
The CamRock profile comes with a camber between the bindings for best edge hold and a rocker in tip and tail for a playful approach. Enough pop and still forgiving.

Flex
The harder flex gives you instant feedback and full control in all conditions.

Construction
The Hel Yes comes with the poplar, paulownia, bamboo core. Lighter and with more response than a poplar core, this core replaces 30 % of the poplar wood with paulownia. Two full-length bamboo stringers provide extra pop and respose. The Biax fibreglass ensures that the basic is forgiving of small mistakes and increases the torsional flex. The Sintered True Base absorbs more wax than an extruded base and, with the right care, offers you masses of speed.

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.
