The 2019 YES snowboards will be out soon.
The line-up is very similar to the 2018 line-up but there have been a couple of additions and some changes to other boards – some significant, some more minor.
New Boards
- YES Basic Decade – the board to celebrate YES’ decade of making snowboards. The Typo is already supposed to be a suped up Basic – the Decade sounds like it’s the Basic on steroids.
- YES Pow Inc – kids powder board (scaled down version of the 420). Good to see a powder board made for kids
Beginner Boards
All of the boards in the beginner category below have also been classified elsewhere. Typically, a board that is suitable for a beginner is also suitable for another style of riding as well.
Men’s
- YES Basic – Top 15 Beginner Board
- YES Typo
- YES Libre
Women’s
- YES Emoticon
Jib/Street YES Boards
Men’s
The Public was the only board that really fit in this category from YES but that is no longer in the line for 2018 so there isn’t anything that I would put in this category from YES anymore.

So, there is the 2019 lineup for YES Snowboards.
I had the privilege of demoing a number of 2019 YES boards over the spring and I will be releasing my reviews on those throughout the year.
