Introducing the ultimate snowboarding experience with the YES Pick Your Line (PYL) snowboard! Get ready to conquer the slopes like never before. Our revolutionary Tapered UnderBite technology combines the best of both worlds: the directional drive and effortless float of a tapered board, without compromising on edge hold or the ability to power through turns—a common drawback of most tapered boards. Unlike other boards, the PYL maintains a more traditional width and length, providing stability and control that snowboarders crave. Crafted with our innovative wood core and natural dampening, this board elevates your performance to new heights, delivering a refined and unparalleled ride. Building on the rich heritage of the PYL, renowned designer Mark Kowalchuk has breathed new life into this iconic masterpiece. With enhanced features and an even stronger legacy, the PYL stands as a testament to our commitment to pushing the boundaries of snowboarding innovation. Unleash your full potential on the mountain with the YES Pick Your Line snowboard where style, precision, and exhilaration meet.

Shape: Directional

A directional snowboard is purposefully shaped for optimal performance in one primary direction, typically with a longer and more pointed nose compared to the tail. This design enhances stability, control, and float in varied conditions, making it particularly well-suited for carving, powder riding, and all-mountain exploration. The asymmetry aids natural turn initiation and provides a more dynamic riding experience when cruising downhill. Suited for riders who prefer a specific orientation for various terrains, a directional snowboard excels in responsiveness, offering a smooth and predictable ride that complements the nuances of specific riding styles and conditions.

Profile: CamRock 1-4-2

Camrocker boards have a profile where the center of the board is closer to the snow, and the nose and tail are raised.
Enhances float in powder, makes turn initiation easier, and is generally more forgiving.
May sacrifice some edge hold and stability compared to traditional camber.

1. Sintered

YES Snowboards' sintered bases are crafted by fusing tiny polyethylene particles under heat and pressure, creating a porous, durable surface. Known for superior speed and wax absorption, these bases are favored by advanced riders for their high-performance capabilities in various snow conditions.

2. Full Poplar

Poplar is known for its combination of lightweight and strength, providing a good balance for the core. Its lightweight nature contributes to the overall reduced weight of the snowboard.
Additionally, poplar offers a consistent and predictable flex pattern, enhancing the board's responsiveness.
The wood's durability ensures the core can withstand the stresses of riding while maintaining a desirable flex. Overall, poplar wood helps create snowboards that are lightweight, durable, and responsive, catering to a broad range of riders.

3. TRIAX

Triaxial or "Triax" fiberglass on a snowboard refers to a fiberglass construction where the fibers run in three directions—usually along the length and width of the board and at an angle. This configuration adds torsional stiffness to the board, enhancing its overall stability and responsiveness. Snowboards with triaxial fiberglass tend to have a more precise and controlled feel, making them suitable for riders who prioritize stability at higher speeds, improved edge hold, and better performance in challenging conditions. Triax fiber is often found in snowboards designed for advanced and aggressive riding styles.

Flex

7/10
soft stiff

Perfectly symmetrical shape for balanced riding, equally versatile both when used regular and when used in switch. Great balance between feline stability and freestyle mobility, no matter which way you point it.

FOREVER FLEX

Forever Flex is a manufacturing process that helps stabilize the flex and rocker profile of a board for its lifetime. Our boards now finish the first stages of production slightly overbuilt and then we “break them in” using a specialized machinery that mimics extreme riding use. By flexing the fresh board fibers and epoxy at the factory the materials settle into their final arrangement within the board layup much the same as if you rode the board for 20 days. This process helps us narrow our production tolerances so the board you buy has a more accurate specified flex and rocker profile that will change less as you ride it more.

Best of both worlds

This board is stable on the steeps + flying through groomers and playful when you want it to be when cruising around the mountain. Nice and springy when making quick jump turns around moguls. The edge hold grip on an icy face is reliable. The base glides nicely. The pop is phenomenal and this boards stomps landings with ease. Been riding the PYL in mostly spring conditions so far but I can't wait to get her on powder next season.

This board is so fun I can barely begin to describe to paint the picture. This is my first Yes. snowboard and you can bet everything you own it will not be my last. Been mostly riding Mammoth and this board definitely owns the tight chutes on the double blacks. I have the 162 at 6'1" and thought it might be too long, but as soon as I started riding this board it was a match made of true love. For the price point, this is the best freeride board you will find.

Had a week of every condition possible on a new PYL

I’ve just had a week in France with fresh snow every day, spring time slush and frozen pistes, perfect groomers, icy danger slopes and a generous amount of off-piste pow. Oh, and the longest narrow cat track I’ve seen for a while. The 2025 PYL has delivered in all conditions. Excellent edge hold in all but the most extreme circumstances. Dances though slush if you put the effort in and the deep snow is a pleasure to cruise requiring minimal input.
The best part…. After a week on my Uninc Greats, my legs are usually protesting as I sit here on day 6. After a week on the PYL, I’d happily do another 6 days :)

Hey there

Thanks for the great comments. I believe you've said it all for the PYL

Unbelievable

Short: If you’re thinking about buying this board.. do it! Don’t wait just do it!

I rode this board for the first time today. We had about 8” of new Utah powder. I can honestly say, this board gave me the best day of riding in my 20+ years of it. It handled everything I threw at it and it handled everything exceptionally well! This board floated so much better than I imagined it would. It is light and maneuverable while still feeling very planted at high speeds. Towards the end of the day, there was plenty of chopped up areas and this board just blasted through it all. The base from the factory is FAST! This truly is a do it all board. I ride 100+ days per year and intend on making this my new daily driver.

The only complaint I have, is that my face is going to hurt tomorrow from the smile it left on me all day.

For note I’m 5’10 and about 175. I purchased the 157

Outstanding All Mountain

If you are considering adding this all-mountain board to your quiver, the short story is pull the trigger. You will not be disappointed. I have been riding for over thirty years and I have ridden and owned most brands. I have also come to realize that there isn't one perfect board because conditions vary over the season so much. However, YES has figured out how to combine the most critical features that when you are not on one of their boards, you are wondering if your day would be that much better if you were! I added the PYL Uninc DCP this year and after two very different days, I really can't imagine there is a better board in this category. Most of the better boards in this category can handle steeps, powder, trees, etc. but what sets this board apart is the confidence you have when things aren't perfect. First, the edge told on harder snow or ice is outstanding. Second, the dampness on chunder and tracked out snow is the best I have ever experienced without comprising any turning ability. Finally, the fun factor is off the charts. There are no bad days on this board!!

Big mountain pow slayer

Going big mountain backcountry? AK, Revy etc… THIS is the board! Even in low angle this floats better than it has any business doing. I have other boards that are my favorite for sentimental reasons but this is the best performing board I’ve ever ridden in 37 years.
